My Buddy

Elizabeth and Brytlee have had a lot of time together now that Alexis is at school all day, and they are really starting to play together and like each other a little better. Elizabeth is always wanting to play with Alexis and is always doing things that she didn't think Brytlee was big enough for. But now that it is just the two of them... things are starting to change.

Elizabeth was so happy that she could be twiners with her sister. They are playing in an apple tree that has a bunch of apples that are ready, and I love it. The girls will eat so many apples when they can just go outside and pick one themselves.
I love how the sun beams are shinning down on Brytlee while she is in deep thought.
Our garden this year has been so great! I love having a garden and our kids love it just as much as we do. It is so neat for them to be apart of it, and they love to watch it grow. They have helped out with all the watering, and pulling weeds, and they love to pick the corn of and shuck it, and same with the pea's and any thing else that is ready to eat.
Our corn this year has been soooooooooooooooo yummy! We have been cooking almost a dozen every night, and I can eat so much of it. The girls all eat two or three themselves. I don't think we could ever get sick of it. It is so so so good!
Brytlee really likes the pumpkins. She started to say PUNKIN a couple of weeks ago, and it is the cutest thing you have ever heard.
I am so excited to decorate our front porch with all of our pumpkins... we have three huge ones that I doubt we can even lift, and then several others. Alexis calls the big ones "Big Bessy's"
We have some watermelons that are just about ready to eat. I don't know what it is about food fresh from a garden, but it just always seems to taste so much better. Last year we had a couple of watermelons that were the best that I have ever had in my life. Same with our strawberries and raspberries. They are sooooooooooo sweet and yummy! We have picked a ton of raspberries this year and I was able to make jam with it, ( Ryan and Alexis are going through it very fast)!
We also were able to pick our first batch of pea's and freeze all of them, and then pull them out and plant fall peas. They should be ready soon I hope.
