Happy Halloween

This year we dressed up as Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Swee'Pea. 

 I came up with the idea last year when I was pregnant with Levi.  It took me over a month to make the costumes, but I think it was worth it.  We did win 3rd, and 2nd place for our costumes at two of the parties we went to. 


I had to include a pic of my shoes because they took the most time to make, and I am so proud of how they turned out.

7 months old

Levi is now 7 months old!  And his new favorite thing as of this week is standing.

Our 5 Year Anniversary

This month Matt and I are celebrating a milestone anniversary.  It's amazing how fast time goes by.  Five years ago Matt and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Houston, TX LDS Temple. 

When Matt proposed to me he didn't have the ring with him.  So this is how he chose to give it to me:

I love our Garden!

I am so excited about our vegetable garden this year!  We have one of the largest yards in our neighborhood, with lots of room for gardening.  Our total gardening space is 375 sq ft.  We planted Artichoke; Pinto Beans; Broccoli; Carrots; Cauliflower; Celery; Corn; Cucumber; Garlic; Lettuce; Spinach; Cilantro; Bulb Onions; Green Onions; Peas; Potatoes; Pumpkin; Squash; Swiss Chard; Tomatoes; and Watermelon.  Plus we have a Strawberry patch that comes up annually.  We have been harvesting so much food!  The only things we may not be getting a harvest from is the Artichoke, Cauliflower, Celery, and Watermelon.  But I still have hope for the Cauliflower and Celery.  I have been canning, freezing and making some baby food for Levi.  Here is a picture of some of our beautiful home grown produce.
