Rollin' With My Gnomies..

As you can see, my garden is a raging success! My chives and parsley are just starting to come up and my zucchini may not have made it. But, everything else is looking really good!

Quite a few gnomes have also popped up, lovingly planted by Ethan. My lily plant was so beautiful, but one gust of F-M wind knocked it out of its hole and almost blew it away.

I have had to pick 5 or 6 weeds total. I am so excited that this actually worked! Check back to see my veggie babies grow! -RL

Hi this is Emma Speaking

Hello people who read this blog! I am Emma, one of the E3's. I have heard of the blog and thought I would tell you people a little about me. I am 10 years old and next year I will be in 5th grade. At my moms house I have a little sister named India. India is going to be 3 on July 25. At my dad's house I have a pet gecko named Lizzie. Her full name is Lizzie Lula La Lizard. (she is French in my opinion.) At my mom's house I have a puppy named Henry. Henry is a schnoodle which is a schnauzer and a poodle. Any way... last year my mom home schooled me and it was just o.k. I didn't think it was amazing and I prefer public school. I love my dad's house. It is so fun and big. It has huge yards and beautiful scenery. Which reminds me that I just got to mow the lawn to day! It was not the best thing in the world. I only did the front yard and half of one side of the back yard! NO FUN!!! My dad and Ethan (another one of the E3's) and I got to go to Wall-E today. My dad loved it, I thought it was o.k. and Ethan liked it. Nice to blog to you!!! Bye-Bye!!

Keep on Truckin' Little Noah!

This is Noah, my new nephew born on June 1 at just 24 weeks. I have never seen a baby this small before; he just made it to 2 lbs. It was really shocking to see such a small little guy, but he is really strong and really adorable. Please keep this tiny boy in your prayers. -RL

Happy Birthday Dear Reeder....

A few weeks ago, I got to travel with the Kittleson ladies to Reeder, North Dakota for their centennial celebration. It was too fun. We had martini time at the Mirror Lake Lodge, watched the nation's longest parade, drank cans of beer at Lutzy's, and laughed constantly. Bonnie Hammer drove us through the prairie, over barbed wire and up some seriously steep hills. We climbed rocks and explored caves.

It was a trip I will never forget. A fabulous time with some rockin' ladies. I'm so glad I tagged along!I love this picture. This was the last night we were there. I think the sky looks like a painting. What a gorgeous view in the middle of nowhere.
