Our Bounty!

Hurray! We were able to eat some of the bounty of our garden yesterday! They were the freshest squash and zucchini I've ever eaten... seeping with delicious goodness. I'm pretty sure they both popped out of nowhere and grew to full size in less than a week! However, we will have to start giving them away soon. We just went out this evening and we have almost 2 full size squash and 5 that are 1/2 to 2 inches long already! I only see 1 or 2 zucchini inching along. There are lots of little green tomatoes... but they are slower growing.

Here's how big the garden is now after only 5 weeks of planting the little seedlings!

From the side:And for those that don't remember, here's the garden one of the first couple of weeks:

Braces!

Be honest... how old do I look in this picture??
Right after I got the braces on, Scott and I went to Cafe Rio. He said he was afraid to hold my hand in case someone thought he was robbing the cradle! Later, I went to the grocery store and Scott was sure to warn me on the way out that I needed to be careful and not let the high school boys hit on me. Of course, the teasing is just for fun. He always tells me how beautiful I look.

And, it's little Alivia in the picture! I can't believe how much she's grown already! Jen and Lance are moving out to Virginia for school and today was the last time I got to see them before they left. I'll be out there in October for Michelle's wedding, but by then she'll practically be walking!
