"Come what may, and love it!......Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result." ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Oh garden blessings

Yesterday we worked in the garden. I was excited to harvest. We pulled a few things but I couldn't wait to taste the heirloom purple carrots. To my surprise they were terrible. :-(
Hannah loves to harvest. She picked an unripe tomato and an unripe watermelon. She better be glad she is so cute. She also fed the chickens from a bucket. I watched her from afar and I'm pretty sure that's what the good life looks like.
I think Heath gets the most excited about harvest time. You should see his face!
Asher has a watermelon patch. He likes to work in the garden, unlike Noah who doesn't enjoy the heat or working in the garden but would rather play video games . Teaching that boy to work just might be one of our biggest challenge.s. In his defense it was about 115 yesterday.

Asher threw up twice last night and Noah had diarrhea this morning. We didn't go to church. They wanted to paint eggs so we did. I think it was inspired by The Rise of the Gardians movie. (The Easter bunny part)

Sitting in line at the bank

Asher: can we have a ninja baby?
Me: I think so.
Asher: no, you have to ask Jesus.
Noah (from the back seat): Heavenly Father, please let us have a ninja baby. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

No I'm not pregnant...but the order is in :)

His name is Simeon and this is his weird.

Simeon is 6 and wanted to be part of the "What's your weird" series. He can do a belly super suck in.

Matt's weird?

My brother, Matt, is funny, he's a teaser, his armpits smell like a double whopper with extra onions, he's got a metal rod in his back, he's married to a cute girl and has 4 kids. Oh and did I mention he's bald? You decide which one of these is his weird.

That's his daughter's hair.

Genesis in the "What's Your Weird?" Series.

Genesis is my niece. Her weird is that she can almost touch her shoulders together in front of her body.
