4th of July

Happy 4th!

Ooohh...snaps

Yes our crazy loot :-)

Peyton "hugging" the purple smoke

Snakes--Jason isn't impressed

Peyton's "Chloe" dress--perfect for the 4th

Fun!

We spent 4th of July first w/ a little fireworks of our own then went over to friends' house.. Jackson was so funny and opened his mouth big EVERY, I mean every, all night, time a firework went off ...it was so funny I wish I had a picture of it. Peyton of course loved the pretty fireworks in the sky. We stayed up late and the kids even were having a ball until we came home.

10 years--no way!!

A trip to the falls

Yes--he loves his picture taken

I can't believe Jason and I have been married 10 YEARS---it still seems crazy to me. We celebrated on a much needed overnight get away locally...in hopes of going on a bigger trip this fall. We had so much fun just hanging out, going out to eat, shopping around and spending time alone together. Jason is a wonderful husband and I've enjoyed every year we've had together. We've been lucky now to I believe have spent about 3 of our anniversaries together...as for awhile he was always deployed or away on them...it would be interesting to look back at how much time we've been apart ---we know it took about the first 3-4 yrs to have lived more together than apart :-) I look forward to spending the next 60 yrs together --or more--that would be crazy!! I love you honey!

Just a typical day....

Training her to be a babysitter

The boys

Sleeping beauty

Who is this kid?

Just a typical day at the Meyer home!! We had a fun day babysitting the Webb kids and even got in some practice for Peyton :-) The kids had lots of fun playing together...a few other pics of the kids being silly and Peyton in another true way I found her sleeping one night--how uncomfortable!!

T-Ball and Snapdragons

Just chillin at the T-ball game eating supper

At the end of June was Pey's last T-ball game...not sure if she learned everything there is to know about T-ball but she had fun whether it was running around, hitting the ball or just playing in the dirt. Here is a picture of Pey's favorite flower at the time--snapdragons..this is her pot to take care of!

Happy Birthday Jason!!

Jason w/ Jackson, Peyton, Brady and Blake

We celebrated Jason's 31st birthday (on July 3rd) with a golf cake I made...We had family over after Peyton's last T-ball game. I hope you had a great birthday honey!!

Oh Peyton

For anyone who knows Peyton --she is a one of a kind. I love her so much but she does the funniest things some times. She rarely sleeps on her bed, for some reason, and most nights sleeps under her bed---maybe she feels safe under there (as she gets scared of anything at night!) She enjoys sleeping in her tent in her room, on her rug, most favorite is under her bed--here is where I found her tonight--most nights I can't even see her. When I make her she will sleep in her bed for awhile....I guess her bed/mattress won't ever wear out!

Gardening 101

So I neglected my farm garden (yes I have a town garden and a farm garden)...so far the town garden doesn't get much sun so isn't doing too well and my farm garden is at my parents which is massive but since I don't see it every day can get a bit neglected....so anyways I neglected my farm garden for about 1-2 weeks . Now in my defense it has been thunder storming daily for the last week at least which makes it pretty wet there.

About 3/4 of my farm garden shown here...gets bigger every year

Before Picture: What NOT to do---yes these are all weeds--not beautiful strawberry bushes or anything like that WEEDS! In these weeds are about 9 watermelon, squash, cantaloupe plants which I slowly found...may have pulled up a few trying to distinguish between a weed and plant ! :-)


3 hours later after picture: not perfect...but much better! Still have a ways to go on my weeding but this was the worst of it...maybe I'll wait until my mom comes home from vacation to help :-) Won't neglect it that long again!!

T-Ball

Is this a relay race?

On first base

And the hit

T-Ball season has begun ...this is Pey's first year of playing T-ball and it has been pretty entertaining...So far she likes playing in the dirt...but does get much more into it during practice when her fans aren't around :-) Who know if we'll have a baseball player on our hands...but in the mean time its great exercise and a way to expend some energy!
