Bountiful Harvest

It's been a great year for tomatoes and peppers at Grandpa Jim's house, and we've been enjoying the fruits of his labor.

This year, he hired a couple of "farm hands" to do his harvesting. He's paying them in fresh veggies. I don't know who is getting the better end of that deal. They're 5 and 3, and like to eat. Boy, do they like to eat. Especially veggies. Crazy, huh?

Papa's Birthday

Tonight, we celebrated Papa Jim's birthday with a cook-out and ice cream cake. Yummy! Lots of good food, and fun for everyone.


Although we were celebrating Papa's special day, make no mistake about who stole the show! Five grandkids were hamming it up for everyone, making for an enjoyable evening for all


And what is an evening without a little photography? Some photos of the kids...

Grandma Becky was up past midnight making "Crack" for Kiki and Jennifer. "Crack" is a "Top Secret" recipe that we totally think Becky should patent and sell. It's like buttery, hull-less carmel corn, but better. It's only the best snack food in the world, so we began referring to it as "crack" because it's so addictive. We hope Kennedy doesn't go to school and tell her teachers that Grandma made crack last night, otherwise we're gonna have some explaining to do!
School starts in less than a week, so our summer is quickly coming to a close. I'm sure there will be lots of adventures this school year, so keep visiting!
