We planted these fruit trees last Spring and I took a picture of the kids in front of them ... the beginning of an annual tradition to measure the growth of both kids and trees. Here's last years and this years photos for comparison.

It was Memorial Day today. Bryan still working so I took the kids miniature golfing at Mulligans and then they ran through the sprinklers before we went to Great Grandma's for a BBQ. We made some homemade Oreos to share at the BBQ. It's GG's birthday tomorrow, so we had cake and ice cream for her too. We love GG!

Bryan got called out on a case Friday morning and we haven't seen much of him since then...this is becoming a familiar sight...an empty plate. He's called during the day to report he'll be home for dinner but has yet to make home before 10pm. Ben keeps asking "when is Daddy ever coming home?"

Ben got to try out school lunch today to see what it will be like when he goes to first grade later this year. I went to help out and got to snap a few pictures of him enjoying chicken nuggets and tater tots. When I went through the line with him, and I saw them serving up tater tots I had to explain to Ben what they were as he has never had them. I actually couldn't believe he'd never had them...I used to eat them a lot when I was little. He loved the lunch and was of course one of the last to finish. He is usually last to finish at home too!

When we got home from Ben's baseball game tonight, he kindly shared his after game snack with her. They put two straws in his bottle of Gatorade and sucked it dry. So fun to watch them share!

Here's a picture of one corner of our growing garden...the lettuce, spinach and peas are doing great. The carrots are also making some progress. Our giant sunflowers are sprouting too! I planted 12 different tomato plants...6 or 7 different varieties. I hope I don't regret it later!

We bought the kids a swing set a couple of week ago and finally got some time to work on it this weekend. Here's the progress so far. We hope to get it done soon...the instructions said it takes 8 to 12 hours to put together! Wish us luck, it feels like a never ending project! The kids can't wait to try it out when it's done.
