Green Thumbs

Spring is here and today was such a beautiful day! The sun was shining and the air was clean and crisp. It was the perfect day to start our tomato garden. So, after googling "How to Plant Tomatoes", we headed to Lowe's with a shopping list and a ten dollar off coupon.

Zeke studied the many different species of tomato plants and we settled on four different types. We also picked up a little sweet basil so we can make some delicious basil, tomato and mozzarella sandwiches for our favorite vegetarian.

Aren't they beautiful?
Happy Spring!

Panikins and Bed Head

Zeke woke up this morning a very happy boy with a serious case of bed head.

He was so cute I had to make him some homemade panikins. He loves them!

High five for the panikins.



This is what he did when I said "Where are your teeth?"


"Where is your hair?"



"Smile for Auntie Kari."

Ready for the day after enjoying delicious breakfast with mom and dad.







Diaper Dudes

Jeff had a moment of fashion inspiration when he saw the diapers drying in the living room.

Zeke was hard to convince.


Much cuter without the diaper-head.

Future Artiste

The other day I decided it was time we introduced Zeke to fine arts. His medium was pencil and his canvas was posterboard.








We discovered two things during our art lesson...
1. Zeke is left handed
2. He is following in the footsteps of his Auntie Kari and already is a pretty talented artist, let's just hope he keeps his clothes on for now
