Our Plants are coming along very nicely! The Squash is the biggest and the green peppers are the smallest.


Here is a cucumber plant that is having trouble letting go of it's shell.

Don't be alarmed! It's still the same blog we just changed up the look a bit!
Hope you like it.

Max and I went to Touch A Truck at Heritage Park Saturday morning. There were huge cranes, a fire truck, a bomb squad robot, helicopter, tractors, motorcycles and big orange dirt moving things! He LOVED it! He wanted to drive everything of course. He ended the trip with a nice hay ride that almost put him to sleep. Then we came home and had a picnic in the back yard while we did some light water color painting before our nap. It was a nice Saturday.

Seeds in a cup full of dirt with water and sunshine for 5 days....

Is it time to mow the lawn! Spring is here! We all had a great time mowing the lawn and taking pictures of each other.

A Shocking Discovery!

Nice Weather!

YAY! Fianly some nice weather! Whooo hoooo.

While Ben and I talked veggies in the back yard today Max jumped on the trampoline (with extremely close supervision) and his hair got FULL of static. Bless his heart everything he touched shocked him for a good 5 minuets.

Ben and I have started getting the gardens ready. Ben's compost and a few bags of new soil have been turned in already. We have seedlings popping up in our kitchen window sill and have mapped out where we will plant everything. I"m excited about planting sunflowers this year . Sunflowers are so pretty and i've never grown any of my very own. We are planting too much but it will be fun, Big Tom's, lil Toms, zucchini, cucumbers, green peppers, carrots, sweet potatoes, Jalapino's, spinach, broccoli and I'm sure I'm leaving something out. The only thing we have left to get are some tomato cages and we will be all set.

Now for a nap :)

Max's new teacher at daycare and a visit from a big green friend.

Had to share these small stories cause the are so cute. We don't have too many new photos or events lately. Ben has a few new snow photos on our flicker page. Hopefully we will have some stuff - don't want my blog to get tooooo boring!

Enjoy the stories.

Ben re-heated Max's pizza today for lunch and I guess one of the slices of pizza was missing the tip. Max pointed at it and said "daddy, you ate my pizza, you ate the best part!"

Max was walking down the stairs with Jacki (a neighbor) and Lorenzo (Jacki's son) Max and Lorenzo sept about 5 hours together Monday of this week but today as the 3 of them were walking dow the stairs Max turned to Lorenzo and said "Hi, I'm Max"

Max has gotten a taste for Cheetos from daycare and we told him all week we would put them on the grocery list for him. Today Ben and Max went grocery shopping and bought cheetos. When they got home Ben said would you like some and Max replied "no, save them for mommy" I can't wait to come home and eat them together!

We had a nice visit with the Raymers a few weekends ago. The boys are getting so big.

I couldn't send the girls home with out new hats!

Love must be in the air - this bag on the floor looked like a heart to me so I took a picture.

Max is fianlly big enough to fit into his Flight Jacket he got last Christmas - aint he cute!
I feel the need... the need for speed!

Happy Anniversary To Us
Ben and I have been married 5 wonderful years on March 26th

Max is an official member of the Build and Grow team now at Lowes. This was the second time he has been and I hope that we get to go many many times more!

Christmas 2.1
Back to the Johnson's to celebrate Christmas with all the Great Grandparents! Finnley gave Max an old tricycle. Max always enjoys his Great Grandfathers company. I would also like to note what a great photographer my husband is!

Christmas at the Olsen's

our 3rd and final Christmas was spent at the Farm with Jack and Fran, My brother Kem and his fiance Carla and my sister Sandra and her husband Stan. Max was the only kid at this one and bless his hart he was not feeling well still. The only thing he ate was icecream and lot of it! Oh and M&M's (what happens at Grandmas stays and grandmas) Max got this wonderful airplane bike from Ben's Uncle Gordan and a whack a mole game and some cloths. I got a bunch of neat stuff including a musical instrument made out of a gord and ben got a great new tripod for his camera. Fran cooked an outstanding dinner with some old favorites like my Grandma Olsen use to serve and Sandra baked a delicious chocolate Cake. Max started a round of Jingle bells and we all sang it while cleaning up the dishes - it was nice and I think we sounded great!

More photos from christmas. The sponge bob bandaid was just for fun to make him feel better and you can see in one photo he got ahold of the underarm thermometer. After Christmas he saw the dr. and they gave him antibiotics for the ear infection and something for his cough. He was a little trooper!

Well I"m finally getting around to Christmas no. 2 at Maggies. We arrived on the 24th after out morning at Mike and Ron's. Max fell asleep and since he was so sick we all sat in the car with him (maggie too) and let him sleep for an hour or so while we softly chit chatted. That evening we decorated a cho choo train ginger bred house and all went to sleep. About 1am Max woke up getting sick. Mom helped me clean him up and we tried to give him tylenol but he wouldn't take it so.... we had to resort to other means ( ew - I know!) all I can say is thank Gawd! my mom was there!!! after that we all slept till a respectable hour in the morning. Mom made us a great breakfast and we watched Max open presents and eat candy off the ginger bread train. He seemed to be feeling much better just a tiny fever and he took his medicine no problem! We got mom a Snuggie in pink that she loves and a home made gift that Max made of a hand print in clay painted and decorated. It was a wonderful christmas and I'm so glad we all got to spend it together.
