It Is Officially Summer!

my first sprinkler repair!

 Well, school is out so I guess it is summer time.  We finally have some sun and the garden is looking happy.  Sydney is not so happy the zucchini have come up, but those are the breaks.  We have harvested our first lettuce and it looks great.  I thought the slugs might be a problem, but fortunately not this year.  And, my asparagus has come up!  I didn't think I would see it until next year, but we have 4 plants that have popped up!  I guess my thumb isn't as black as I thought.  And look fast, since Jeff is in Taiwan AGAIN...  we had to start the sprinklers.  Well, one of our drip lines busted, so I made my first sprinkler repair.  I have helped Jeff with so many, that I figured I could cap this one.  I left it tall so the cute neighbor boy wouldn't mow over it again ;o).

Mason and Sydney have started swim team for Payson.  They get to swim everyday for 2 months.  I figure this way they will be much stronger swimmers and possibly get jobs at the pool.  So only after 2 days of swimming, they both come home and tell me they want to go to the pool that day.  So I figured I could deter them by requiring weeding before they went.  Well, they cleared the weeds around the fruit trees in a hurry so they could play at the pool.  It was the perfect day, we got there early so we could grab a table with shade, so I just sat in the shade, read my book and the kids ran off and played with their friends.  Awesome.

And finally, we had to share our favorite picture to date of Wes and the calendar.  His face fits so perfectly here.  He will never live these down.  Can't wait to see what we come up with for Mason.  Have an awesome week-end.  Will post pics of the cultural celebration, and temple dedication coming up this week-end, next week.
