Kurtis Farming and Enjoying It!

This is at our ward's youth garden. We have onions, peppers and tomatoes. Salsa makings! Thanks to Matt's advice, we put down this surface ditch. There are 18 rows. The other day I went over with Sam to give it a good test run and to see how long it would take to water the garden. I armed Sam with a squirt gun and gave him strict instructions to stay on the side of the surface ditch, AWAY FROM THE PLANTS! He likes to step on things. So, I opened the first 4 caps and started working on the ditches. Cleaning them out and checking on the plants. I could hear Sam a ways down talking to him self. I started to notice that I was losing water pressure and fast. I was getting worried about the pump that was providing the water from the canal. Before I could register that Sam had been talking to himself about boats going down the river, the kid had every cap off the surface ditch and had sent it "down the river" as a boat. Little Fart!

Birthday Girl

Its been a couple of days but we love our three year old.

prepare for.... FLOODAGEDDON!!!

I hope everyone is ready for the big flood that is sure to come! On a lighter note, Ash and I went to go see Michigan and Marina dance tonight!! they did a very very good job :) On the way there Kari called me and told me that they were inside and waiting for us. Out of nowhere Ashy turn to me and said:

"it would be so hard to meet up with someone without a cell phone. We were the beginning of the cell phone era so we never had to deal with it. i wonder how Other people... older people... dealt with it?"

After thinking for a few minutes with a dazed look on her face she then turn to me and said:

"We should ask Nate what he had to do?"

FLAG FUN?

This is what I did on Tuesday. Set out all of our ward flags to dry, since they were soaked on Monday. We had some cute friends to help us set them out. It was a big job.
