Gardens, Gardens, Gardens

Luke and I both grew up with gardens, so it shouldn't surprise us that we like having one so much. One funny story about my garden growing up is that one day when I was going to help my dad plant corn I unknowingly grabbed a mason jar full of our lost baby teeth instead of the seed corn, which was also in a mason jar in the same cabinet and thus learned that the tooth fairy wasn't real : ). Anyways, here's a little peek into our back yard. 

And all this rain lately has made lots of mud, so one day I let Bailey get naked and have fun. She and Owen had done this earlier in the week at Nana's house and I couldn't hold her back. Here are the appropriate mud pictures.

Luke has found inspiration lately at the Natural Gardner store in South Austin. He was dying to take the family and this is why...

everything was so huge and colorful!

I think I could have stayed there for hours, but Luke was helping his mom get her garden started, so we headed back to her place.

Here are some of the kids helping. Blake wanted to do just like daddy and Bailey enjoyed getting almost naked (do you see a theme here? I have a hard time keeping this girl's clothes on), getting dirty, and fnding worms.
