Ten on Tuesday - Our Garden with Photos

1. One of our goals this year was to plant a garden,  in our home we have a place already with the sprinklers and pipes set up for a garden and after 10 years in our home, we really wanted to do it.  We had planted a garden once before but it was not very successful at all!

2.  Bryant spent quite a bit of time prepping the area. He borrowed Kim and Scott's rototiller and made the ground great.  He added sand and our compost.  Last week, during spring break he and the kids planted lettuce, strawberries, mint, peas, watermelon, carrots and squash.

 3.  On sunday we had our first sign of success - the top picture is the lettuce coming out!  We were so excited that something grew!!

 4.  The second picture is the peas starting to poke their way up through the soil

 5. The third picture gives you a better idea of how the lettuce looks, it is the green rows!

 6.  The fourth picture is a side shot of our garden.  We didn't want to start off too big and get discouraged so we started with 3 beds and we will see from there!

7.  The picture of Madi is because she is great but also because starting next week - she is doing the couch to 5k traning program.  I am doing it with her and it is going to be a lot of fun for the two of us to spend that time together 3 days a week with no one else!  she is really excited.

8.  Shot of another pea popping up!  Hopefully there will be more!

9.  Max and his ipod touch - Max got an ipod touch from the Orthodontist late last year for completing his braces, wearing their shirt and brushing his teeth.  He loves it and uses it as much as I let him.  Saturday morning he came to my room and told me that he could not plug in his touch to charge.  I looked and it looked like some of the pins were bent.  Well, I made an appointment with the Apple store to come in later that day.  I was hoping that it was covered under the warranty.  He and I talked about it and he knew that he might have to pay some money to get it fixed.  Well, we got to the store, they looked at it and said that it was his fault since he was probably jamming the charger in and it would cost XX amount of dollars to get it fixed.  I asked him if he was willing to pay for it and he said yes.  Well, they don't really fix it but give you a new one.  I had given the salesperson all of our info on her ipad and then there was a problem.  She said that she would be right back.  She came back in a few minutes and told me that since they were having a software problem on her Ipad that it would be FREE!!!!!  I could not believe it!  Max was way excited and was so happy to have his ipod back!  Thanks Apple for making a boys day!

10.  Random Fact - I am learning to like to eat more and more veggies!  Last night I ate fresh green beans and loved them!!  I  think I better stop before something happens!
