Happy Birthday Johnny

Johnny's 3rd birthday was on Saturday.  Jared and Stacie came out for the weekend and we had a lot of fun working together, playing together, and celebrating John's birthday.  Jared came out Friday morning.  We worked in the garden in the morning and relaxed a little by the kiddy pool in the afternoon.  Stacie came in the evening and she helped me clean up and set up for the baby and make/decorate John's Lightning McQueen birthday cake on Saturday.  Jared and Josh worked more in the gardens on Saturday.  We now have all that weeding and mulching done.  It was really nice to have the extra help again!

 I did the base frosting while Stacie did most of the details.  She did an awesome job!!!

 Johnny got presents and cards in the mail.  He had a lot of fun opening them all!

 Josh and Jared made a new fire pit down by the strawberry bed and pasture garden.  Johnny's birthday supper was hot dogs and marshmallows cooked over the campfire.  We brought down all the things we needed to eat and play and had a wonderful evening together in the pasture by the new fire pit.

Happy Father's Day to our Dads and Grandpas.  We had a good Father's Day.  Josh just wanted to relax and watch movies and he got his wish.  It was a nice relaxing day.  We sat around a visited with Jared and Stacie before they left, watched a couple movies, and played outside a little with the kids.  It was a great day!

We're looking forward to the new baby and the end of the pregnancy.  Friday morning at 5:10am we get to be at the hospital....should be a nice early morning!  My mom and dad are coming up to watch the kids over the weekend.  Johnny's excited to play with them this weekend.  Lu Lu is still oblivious, so we hope she does well while we're gone.  Katie's wedding is this weekend.  We hope all the best to her and Thomas, and we look forward to seeing them on their way to their honeymoon.

I uploaded a few pictures of the gardens to the CSA blog.  Check it out at www.logreenacrescsa.blogspot.com
