Easter Pictures...Finally

I know, I know... I've been blog slacking. I've been doing a lot of writing at work and the last thing I feel like doing with my free time is more writing. Even the minimal effort this takes.

Look what the Easter Bunny brought




The girls look more and more alike every day




Not only does MM look like Corey,
she make the same faces he does

Girls Say, Girls Say...

I don't know why this is cracking me up so much. Yesterday, Li was telling me a story and she said "underpants." It's not like she heard it from us. In our girl dominated house, we call them panties or maybe undies. Underpants is just a funny word. It's what your grandma would say. I've been laughing about this to myself for a day.

For weeks, Corey has sworn that MM says "dada." I've heard her say it but it's just part of the general baby bable. But last night while Corey was fixing dinner, MM looked at me and said "Momma". I swear. But I guess since I'm the only one who heard it it doesn't count.There seems to be a lot of this going around lately

100k

I LOVE my car. It has treated me well. It's rarely in the shop and drives fast when I want it to. It fits my personality to a tee. You can't ignore it but not too outlandish. My only real complaint is the thing I love the most. It's too small.

We hit a mile stone together today, 100,000 miles.


I can't believe it's already been 100k. I've loved every mile.

How Does Your Garden Grow

Certainly no silver bells nor cockle shells for us. The past few weekends we've been working in the yard, getting our garden ready for Easter. I've been learning to garden since we bought our house. And despite my inherent black thumb, I've successfully grown many plants.

But this year, I decide to try vegetable gardening. Li loves tomatoes. So I put in four tomato plants, two cucumber, two yellow squash, and two eggplants. I also move my bell pepper, tabasco, and other pepper plants to this garden. We are also growing rosemary. And I'm happy to say my satsuma trees are flowering for the first time since we put them in the ground three years ago.

Hopefully, we'll have a nice crop of late spring veggies. When these plants are finished, I'll grow MM's favorite food, sweet potatoes

Li is very proud of her garden
We're teaching her to grow her own food like all good Cajun girls should
