What a great reason to celebrate! A HEARTY thanks to all those who have served and sacrificed for our country. Most especially to my amazing husband, his father and brothers and my own brothers and grandfathers. What a great country we live and love in! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
We celebrated every last second of the day- but I didn't have the camera for much of it. We had a pancake breakfast at the hospital. Then headed to the movie theater for a showing of Night at the Museum 2. We rarely ever see movies in the theater- and this was our second one in the same month. We have got lots of reasons to celebrate though. We are now celebrating our delightful Kaleb, his birthday is today. More of that celebration later.
After the movie we headed to a really fun park for a picnic lunch. Then we came home and worked in the garden for a bit. We have a really big garden with lots of fun stuff planted.Tickle the earth and she will laugh a harvest!
After a bit we got ready for another party. We hosted Brig's end of the season soccer party at our pool. We had a big BBQ and the kids swam and had a blast. Everyone hated to leave. It has been a really fun season. Brig sprained his ankle in his second game Saturday and had to sit the rest of it out, but other than that- it was fun to see this group of boys in action. After dinner we came home and walked around our yard planning for every inch of it. Its going to be paradise. Thanks to the beautiful plans our BIL drew up for us- thanks Darren! Then we went inside and sat on the couches laughing and smiling, we pulled out our scriptures and read of the great missionary Ammon's exploits. We sang a few songs and said prayer, followed by our family cheer. Then reluctantly, we separated to our own rooms. I snuggled into bed with my favorite person in the whole world. My heart was full of gratitude for a loving Heavenly Father, a blessed life, a shot at eternity with my children and my Love. I closed my eyes and with a smile in my heart and on my face I drifted blissfully off to sleep.

What fun! I never thought I'd think that about gardening--but I do. That looks like a huge garden, way to go! You sound so happy, and good for you cause you deserve it. I love you!(hope we get to see your fam and your place someday sooner than later)
I bet that feels really good to work in the garden with your husband and kids next to you....and it is huge! That will be fun to harvest all your great stuff.
YUMMERS... Nothing better than fresh veggies! We sure miss our garden. Wish we could come help Harvest the crops. Nothing us Thompson Troop love more than to get dirty in a little dirt. You will have to keep a update of the garden for us to day dream about!
Happy Harvesting!
