I've been wanting to do a little garden in our yard for a while and so when I told him this is what I wanted to do for my birthday he went along with it all the way! Little did he know how rocky our yard was! We were out there for hours then he was out there for hours more tilling and digging out boulders and tilling some more. Finally we have two lovely garden boxes filled with seeds! ...Now I just hope they grow! Nothing is better than grilled zucchini and squash at a summer BBQ right?<br /><div align="center"></div>Rachel Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03692150359104081519noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895782733829404713.post-42590765852914959442010-05-21T14:07:00.000-07:002010-05-21T14:22:44.501-07:00Diary of a Wimpy Kid<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8JsPlebaeuc1gb4zGb7Rc-DjDViHg2FQqMwPRqZMlmhXtyjY3sJiFks-16MQOpWj1hnNuwThJNCgsj65Fi5qb-lAGnrwZ1tz4b1lhWYAIlvfF_PPNjNQIw2YS2lJsBqmt4u07pVl3ferl/s1600/101_6988_edited-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 195px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473835557846861778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8JsPlebaeuc1gb4zGb7Rc-DjDViHg2FQqMwPRqZMlmhXtyjY3sJiFks-16MQOpWj1hnNuwThJNCgsj65Fi5qb-lAGnrwZ1tz4b1lhWYAIlvfF_PPNjNQIw2YS2lJsBqmt4u07pVl3ferl/s400/101_6988_edited-1.jpg" /></a> this is not a smile...it's a nervous reaction<br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPzhZJy61ZHIWmo1NSPFXRX15b6OGsxZ3p4az6pG5mWzE19jH3KhS2hdAwx1sDIS6-CSRpFvY0lMJVT86G0hl7hCUTS_fA_SaGcTrdKphlj-m-2d6DHRYfW09EX3hyphenhyphenO8TA0tvBWtnWb4yT/s1600/101_6982_edited-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 251px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473833285996893842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPzhZJy61ZHIWmo1NSPFXRX15b6OGsxZ3p4az6pG5mWzE19jH3KhS2hdAwx1sDIS6-CSRpFvY0lMJVT86G0hl7hCUTS_fA_SaGcTrdKphlj-m-2d6DHRYfW09EX3hyphenhyphenO8TA0tvBWtnWb4yT/s400/101_6982_edited-1.jpg" /></a><br /><div><div align="center"><div align="left">Dear Diary,</div><br /><div align="left">Bouncy surfaces make me nervous. Mom took me to a super cool trampoline gym with my Aunt Amanda and cousins, and all I could do was cling to their legs while they jumped. The other kids had a blast bouncing all over...being free and wild, but not me...no sir! I don't enjoy things of this sort. I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">prefer</span> land...solid footings... and steady foundations. That's the way I like it and nobody is going to change my mind.</div> - Bridger<br /><br /></div></div></div>Rachel Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03692150359104081519noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895782733829404713.post-59634629459575900422010-05-12T16:50:00.000-07:002010-05-12T17:12:31.307-07:00Newborn Photos and Life with Two<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbpOWsNa94fqpzAPBjp4PxP-DGqfIaaizRb9Vd0TtrBmeKkaqr8bnGE0isCX4ZlOit7iurZVDqhnHwbLQoNyIS19wEqq5RncdH1J98Rxk2-FgbwQPnV2qvxxiF_85ww8oApCrcrUAlHZm/s1600/_MG_2395-Editv.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470537507030297746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbpOWsNa94fqpzAPBjp4PxP-DGqfIaaizRb9Vd0TtrBmeKkaqr8bnGE0isCX4ZlOit7iurZVDqhnHwbLQoNyIS19wEqq5RncdH1J98Rxk2-FgbwQPnV2qvxxiF_85ww8oApCrcrUAlHZm/s400/_MG_2395-Editv.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzI9Iu0D-Z6I6wHI0e1hHduzNo4cyYS_c3GCTXgaRYR5cnEIK7m38ZH_bJAv2wT3NdgyAaws0blFFm7xu5_8y1OxnrCPyaCElOOxyMPIbTiQT0VcYv1-W6Av_jPFItI1A1CVXwsUypohw1/s1600/_MG_2027-Edit.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470537493102004162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzI9Iu0D-Z6I6wHI0e1hHduzNo4cyYS_c3GCTXgaRYR5cnEIK7m38ZH_bJAv2wT3NdgyAaws0blFFm7xu5_8y1OxnrCPyaCElOOxyMPIbTiQT0VcYv1-W6Av_jPFItI1A1CVXwsUypohw1/s400/_MG_2027-Edit.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNSeDVn9mJTWoOYlpOO752R08pCo2OFr6sMth6XWk1Gc-rC1DyJRaZg0nfo3zO3tDnZZWPNA_QiXY5e_9Cgm3XLY_xDDsx-187W8PHu55Hu39VwBQDlJ59I6LCfdOZ9JlZkcPY3BDhs2g/s1600/_MG_2366-Edit.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470536500034399586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwNSeDVn9mJTWoOYlpOO752R08pCo2OFr6sMth6XWk1Gc-rC1DyJRaZg0nfo3zO3tDnZZWPNA_QiXY5e_9Cgm3XLY_xDDsx-187W8PHu55Hu39VwBQDlJ59I6LCfdOZ9JlZkcPY3BDhs2g/s400/_MG_2366-Edit.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVtLjbHqL-ir78LpVrl7j4fAUBRK6nLjA3EHudykFNgmzE5S-ATBdujxRwA6mNwQlSHyjo3IW5cSQeHSfuNPo4TIUzwGm9cUv3Vm925ocAnU1sfXSr_FlaQ-irM7aGpFhRY6psyivDPUe7/s1600/_MG_2232-Editv.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470536492112876418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVtLjbHqL-ir78LpVrl7j4fAUBRK6nLjA3EHudykFNgmzE5S-ATBdujxRwA6mNwQlSHyjo3IW5cSQeHSfuNPo4TIUzwGm9cUv3Vm925ocAnU1sfXSr_FlaQ-irM7aGpFhRY6psyivDPUe7/s400/_MG_2232-Editv.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4IUuW3tBKvW-hyO-gyHYbsnI24DqfhZmbdCyd3KWh8i6mBo9xeim-BH-J9bt5JYnuBME-ZJPwhX_lVbxFGKdwfqnFj03Ss1oYK6w9NL4l2nQnw-8X2v-Mxilykuyu-02tcx4HeE1B4Z7o/s1600/_MG_1985-Edit.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470536475349359938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4IUuW3tBKvW-hyO-gyHYbsnI24DqfhZmbdCyd3KWh8i6mBo9xeim-BH-J9bt5JYnuBME-ZJPwhX_lVbxFGKdwfqnFj03Ss1oYK6w9NL4l2nQnw-8X2v-Mxilykuyu-02tcx4HeE1B4Z7o/s400/_MG_1985-Edit.jpg" /></a><br />My sweet sister arranged to have newborn photos taken of Bowen as a gift to us...What an AWESOME gift huh?

The Docs wanted him out sooner than later because his little abdomen was measuring small...which just meant he was getting hungry. Being induced was a different experience than I thought it would be like. My water broke with Bridger so it was all fast. It wasn't bad being induced, and even though it did...it didn't feel like it took forever. Chad and I just hung out...Chad ran some ties to the post office for me, rented a Red Box, He got some studying in, I read and bought some fabric online...it was a nice and relaxing day in the hospital just waiting for action. </div><div>Then at 12:15 am the action came and he was born!</div><div>He was wide eyed, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">alert</span>, quite, and so precious!</div><div> </div><div>My Mom(i mean Angel-in-disguise) had Bridger the whole time we were in the hospital. She brought him over on Friday and he wasn't so interested in me or the baby, but he's warmed up to him since. He always asks were he is and what he's doing. He's adjusting to the big change like I imagined he would...being naughty and emotional. Poor guy, he's so use to being the top dog around here. Hopefully he'll snap out of it soon.</div><div> </div><div>So far, Bowen has been a very good baby. I love having a newborn in the house, it's such a peaceful and good feeling!</div><div> </div><div>Thanks to everyone for your help with Bridger, meals, gifts, and prayers!
