Bring on the garden!

It's blooming and producing, finally!

We got our first ever grapes and the blackberries have seriously produced as well. Love it!

You can see some fence progress in the panoramic shot, although we still have much more to go. Ironically the nei or asked if we wanted to go in half way on a new fence. Ha! Timing is everything. Where was he 3 months ago?

Ben dives

The boys just finished a two week diving course and it is amazing what they learned.

Nicholas also finished a round of swim lessons and can move up to the next level. He finished his lesson with a trip down the waterside and a jump off the high dive. Whoa!

Video documentation of Ben, Andrew will be in next post.

The great Grandpa Great!

My grandpa is in town for a few weeks and floating between family and friends. We had the great pleasure of him being our house guest for three nights this past week. During the day he was attending a genealogy conference in Provo.

This is the first trip he has made without my Grandma (she passed away 6 weeks ago - I still plan to post about her). It was bittersweet and felt strange to have Grandpa here without Grandma. Grandma had never met Nicholas in person.

It really was so nice to have him around. Nicholas kept him entertained with coloring and stories.  Grandpa entertained up with stories from his youth and military service. His told us of first KISS with Grandma, she kissed him on a dare (from Aunt Viv)! Whoa.

We love you Grandpa! Come by anytime.
