Chad was so excited to move to Utah for one reason...well, maybe two. But first and foremost was his opportunity to plant a garden that would really grow! He was so excited in fact that he decided to start building the raised garden about the second week we moved in. (Don't worry about all those boxes that need to be unpacked Honey...) So, he was busy, busy, busy..building, planting etc. for a few weekends. I was giving him a hard time that he was doing that and not helping me unpack. Needless to say, I have completely taken those words back as I'm biting into a fresh home-grown tomatoe! They are the best. I am a little tired of the zuchinni-we have had it growing out of our ears! Chad's pretty proud of his little garden-I'm thankful for his persistence and hard work! We've even enjoyed strawberries too! We have a watermelon and cantaloupe growing fast. It's been great.
I LOVE Utah gardens!!! This post makes me so "homesick" for when we lived there... I loved gardening and I've yet to really get the hang of it down here. (And you're so right about the zucchini!! I was dying because my younger sister planted FOUR zucchini plants outside her apartment in provo... she told me she wanted to have "enough to make zucchini bread"!!! Needless to say she had them coming out her ears at the end of the summer... way more than just her husband and her could handle!!)
WOW! FIrst! It's so fun to hear from you Nikki! Isn't it funny that I'm just starting my garden? And I'm still a little worried it'll be too hot! Bet you don't miss that.
So how about those cage thingys he has up to hold everything in place. Amazing! you have me so SO excited now!
AND I'm so glad to keep up with you. Isn't this blogging world fun??
- We had just left my mom's house. We had been there visiting with Jana and her kids and Mom and Ross. We drove off and Porter says "Mom, I don't like when we go to parties with our family and then we have to leave...it makes my tummy hurt real bad!" --Oh my sweet boy, that is called "homesick" Porters first real experience of homesickness for family!
-We had just heard Bon Jovi's song "Make A Memory"...the D.J. said, "That was Bon Jovi.... Porter pipes up from the back and says "That was Bon Jovi Mom? That is my favorite guy! Mom, you should've bought me a Bon Jovi costume for Halloween!"
-Shortly after church he was telling us about how great his new CTR ring was and how he can CTR now because he has a ring...the story went on and on...then he turns to me and in all seriousness says "and my teacher told me my stories are too long!" I had to laugh because I was thinking that same thing!
-During church Porter leans into me after watching a the baby sitting in front of us and says "Mom, I wish I could go back to being a tiny baby so you could name me Bruce Wayne"....
-Porter questioning me about how I could "stack" (his word) all our kids in my stomach to have babies then simple resolves his own question by saying "Oh, I know, we were in heaven first and then Heavenly "Faver" used the force and put us in your tummy cuz he has the force just like Yoda and Jedi's."
-He recently asked me "Mom, when can I get married" I said well first you have to turn 19 and be a missionary and then when you finish that you can come back home and start looking for your wife. He chuckled and then said "well, who will I marry?" I said, we don't know right now it will be someone you fall in love with. He giggles and then says "So you felled in love with our dad?"
-I was up at the pulpit in sacrament bearing my testimony tearfully and Porter leans over to Brittney and says "Hey look, my mom feels the Holy Ghost!"
