Finally met my brother!

After many years of waiting to meet Mark someday, we finally met.  We shared a wonderful easy going evening with our brother Jc and his wife Madison and their kids. It was great to catch up and get to know Mark!   It went by too fast.

Pumpkins growing strong!

Cucumbers not growing as fast as I thought.

Tomatoes growing crazy! We thought only two plants were going to make it. The two we bought from the store but as it turns out 6 of my starters that I planted actually grew into great plants! 

Early jalepeno peppers. 

Walla walla sweets!

Carrots and cilantro growing pretty strong. :) love this!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

I'm so happy to have these wonderful guys in my life. Even though we are all busy and in different stages of our lives they will always have a special spot in my heart. They are all strong and can get through anything. We all have been through a lot but it only makes us stronger. I admire each one of them because they all have such funny and sweet personalities. Frank would have been so proud of us all for getting together.
