Our family garden




Today we finally were able to go over to Grandma and Grandpa Johnson's house to plant our family garden. The weather has been so bad it's been hard to get over there but we finally got it done today. Grandpa has been working so hard getting everything ready, he got drip hose, put down black cloth so we don't have to weed, it's GREAT!

It's a pretty huge garden but we got so much done today. The kids were in heaven being able to play outside, it was a little breezy but we didn't mind that. Some of the garden is going to be for everyone but then we all have our pieces we can plant on. Grandpa came up with this idea of how to make the holes for the corn, we couldn't believe it when we saw it. He had Keagan driving the truck while he was laying in the back with the blow torch making the holes, we thought he was nuts. Not that we didn't think it would work, we just couldn't believe he was laying in there like that. He's such an amazing man and went to so much work to get this garden ready for all of us.

I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family here. It's hard to be so far away from my family but I feel so lucky to have such an amazing family here that are so great and loving to me and my little family. I love living by them all and it's especially great in the summer when we're able to do so many things together. Thanks everyone for being so wonderful and thanks for the great day, as we said, this is something we'll always remember!

That garden is huge! And hey, that sounds like something my family might try, get it done quick and easily. He's pretty cool!

Go Grandpa, Go! (A genius at work!) What an amazing blessing Tebbin and MaryLou are to our families! It was so fun to watch the video of a great family garden in progress. We are so happy for you! A family garden is such a wonderful idea.

Lots of Love,
