So this year is the start year of the Armour Family Garden :) I'm so excited. We have the space this year and the time to do it finally. I am sooo excited to get it off the ground and going. We are all about being as self sufficient as we can. I would love to be able to feed my family whole, organic foods all the time but hey, there is a budget in this house ;) So this is one way we can have some without paying $10 for an apple. We have a freezer filled with venison, and that is our red meat most the time. We will have to work on finding a farm to buy part of a pig or something like that. But hopefully, if all goes well we will have a plethora of fresh veggies coming out of our yard in the future! And the kids are so excited. I'm looking forward to showing them how food really is made :) and how if you work at something you can get good rewards. We will be planting, tomatoes, sweet peppers, basil, chives, parsley, rosemary, cucumbers (small and large) dill, okra, lettuce, squash (excited about trying the blossoms!) beans, strawberry's, and black/raspberry's. Kyle is getting ready to build our floating raised beds. These are raised beds that are actually on legs. This way we don't have to tear up the yard and I have complete control of the soil that we are using. We will have five of these. I'm going to outline the different boxes only for my own memory :)

Ha ha 3 going on 15 :) Oh my Lily Grace is the funniest girl. She has a huge vocabulary, and uses it on a regular basis. I can't believe that she is 3 but sometimes forget she is only 3.

Sweet Sid is SIX months today.....
OH my, Sidney Claire. You are six months today and I an not even wrap my mind around it. What more can I say than you are such a joy to have!! Really, you are the sweetest baby. Very very laid back and totally go with the flow. You love to smile and laugh, especially at your brother and sisters. You roll onto your tummy almost the moment you get put in your crib. You like it now, not so much when you started to do it a few weeks ago. You still haven't been able to roll the other way though, which ticks you off most times :)

Boo boo Callie....
Oh my Callie Joy! This sweet little thing just has my heart! And can't catch a break for anything... poor girl has had stitches in her head, in her finger, chickenpox, and now a boil on her upper leg all in about a two month stretch. I think it's time little Callie has a break and is boo/sickness free for a bit.
