Not sure why I am better at some weeks blogging than others. I guess some days hold more information than others.

Jbird and I planted our garden today. Was quite surprised to see what we could grow last year (just lettuce and onions) with out a clue about what we were doing. We planted corn, watermelon, two kinds of peppers and carrots. Have no idea how any of it will grow, but we will see. Anything is better than nothing. Maybe as the kids get older and play in the backyard less, we can use more of it for gardening. We put popsicle sticks in the ground to mark things. Jbird decided he needed to glue the seed packets to the sticks. My fear, JB will come along and pull them all up.

This Friday B's classroom is celebrating his birthday! I am glad to know they celebrate summer birthdays. Having two summer babies and one spring break baby, my kids otherwise would never get to celebrate.

Yesterday JR and I got a babysitter and went for a 2 hour (turned into 3 hour) bike ride. Set out on some gravel roads behind our house. Probably meandered for 10 miles. At one point I told JR I was dragging and then he finally got it. I had a flat. No wonder I was working so hard to peddle. He rode back to the house to get a pump and I decided to sit in a grassy field for 30 minutes and look at the snow capped mountains and watch the clouds. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Already starting some preparations for the 4000 mile road trip coming up in a few weeks. Really looking forward to hitting the road again. With every road trip it gets easier to plan, partly because the boys get older! Will be seeing lots of family this trip and a few friends. Just excited to get away and play with the boys.

One of the original pinochle players is in town, so looking forward to 2 very late nights this week hanging out and shooting the moon!
