Ainsley's Potato Plant

Here are the before and current pictures of Ainsley's potato plant. The plant has moved down to our house now and is taking over my kitchen window sill! The first picture was taken when my mom and Ainsley first started the project a few months ago...the carrots never grew but you can see the sweet potato sure did!

This is the potato today...Ainsley is very proud of it
And here it is taking over my window sill
I'm afraid to replant it because I'm not very good with plants and I don't want it to die but I don't know how much longer it can stay in that little jar=0)

We'll Miss You

Our brother-in-law Jim passed away last night after battling cancer. He was a very strong man and will be greatly missed. Please pray for Liz, Emily and Ethan and also Jim's family. We know this is only a temporary goodbye and that we will see him again someday. He is not in pain anymore and he is with our Heavenly Father.

The Sprinklers

Up until the last few days, the weather here has been really nice. Mike was out checking the sprinklers one evening and when they came on, that was all she wrote. Zechariah went running off into the grass so I went running for the camera. The sun was starting to set so it didn't stay warm too long, but the kids (and Jack) had a good time!

Hopefully it will warm up soon so I can send them out again in their suits!

A Family Who Picks Together, Stays Together!

Ainsley has a really bad habit of picking her nose when she sees the camera. I was taking pictures of Ains and Z playing on her bed after we woke her up from her nap (a rare occurrence so I thought I'd photograph it!) and these two were too funny so I had to share. As soon as I started to take a picture she picked her nose so I asked her to stop...

so this is what happened in the next photo!
Guess he just wants to be like his big sister!
