10 years in the making

When we first moved to Montgomeryville, one of the things we decided we wanted was a garden. Springs came, springs went, but still no garden. Well, finally, 10 and half years after moving here, we have our very own garden. Tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers, jalepeno peppers, basil, cucumbers, zuccini, pumpkin. And the blue trash can in the pic is not a trash can at all. Chris is also growing his own potatoes. Don't ask....I don't know either!!!! Our first lil sprout. A jalepeno!
Saturday evening Avery and Kamryn on the swings. It makes me nervous because it doesnt really look that safe, but all of my kids have done this through the years to each other, and they giggle and laugh the entire time.


Madi came down stairs looking like this and called herself, "Hairy Underwood." And that's all I have to say about that!

Kylie and Avery just goofing around!

Weekend Update

Friday night was the Variety Show at Madi's school. She and 3 of her friends were the opening act. She did such a great job. The video is below. CJ spent the night at a friend house Saturday night. They lit a bonfire and pulled an all nighter. He crashed on the sofa when he got home and wouldn't move. Not really news, but we just thought it was funny.
As some of you know, Avery developed a wierd rash this past week. By Wednesday night it looked a lot like chicken pox. She went the doctors on Thursday night, after all of the other patients had left. The doctor decided to send her for blood work the next morning to determine if it was in fact chicken pox, or a really bad case of hand, foot, mouth. She was a real trooper when she got her blood drawn. On Sunday night our fabulous pediatrician called me to tell me that she contacted the lab for Avery and the results were in..........She does NOT have chicken pox! YIPPIE!!!! Back to school for Avery tomorrow!

Congratulations CJ!!!!


Several months ago CJ had to write a poem for English class. The only requirement was that it had to be about someone special. Today he found out that his teacher submitted his poem into a contest and he received a high merit award. I thought you might like to read his poem:

My Grandfather

My Poppy is someone important to me

He taught me the values of faith and family

He was smart like a doctor, and strong like a bear

He could fix anything not working, broken, or in disrepair

He taught me to respect nature and to love the outdoors

We spent lots of time at his mountain house doing chores

He had nineteen grand children who love him so

When he passed away last April it hurt me so

His memory I keep alive in my heart

His name I will someday get tattooed on my arm
