Randomness throughout June and July

This day he told me he had to shave real quick before we left ha ha.

We've had lots of fun water fights together.

This was a present we got Tyrel for Father's Day. He is always wanting scratches and back rubs, so I thought this was kind of clever. Tytyn drove all over his back and he was in heaven.

This was about a month ago so our lawn is filled in alot more since this picture. Tyrel has also sprayed for weeds since then so lets hope it looks alot better here soon. Notice our huge tree on the left hand side?

My garden area next to the dogs. This picture was also about a month ago so my garden has about doubled in size since then.

YUM!

This has been one of his favorite games lately. He calls it "Tytyn Taco", or "Taco Time." He likes to be rolled up super tight and then try to get out of it. And I like to take advantage of kissing his cute cheeks while he doesn't have his hands to push me away ha ha.

I find things like this quite often when I come in to check on Tytyn after he's fallen asleep at night.

Tyrel taught him what a ninja is, so that's what he is impersonating here. It cracks us up!

This was one of Tyrel's mission companions. He had to come and do a 2 week internship type thing at the pharmacy in the hospital here and so he was able to stay with us. They had fun catching up and it was fun to listen to them talk about stories from their mission. This night he went home teaching with Tyrel to a less active family and had an awesome experience.

This boy loves shakes and smoothies. This day we made a smoothie out of white peach, kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, banana and vanilla protein powder. It was delicious!!!

So we had a HUGE gust of wind that lasted about 3 minutes last week and it cracked off a big piece of our tree and it fell over onto the fence between us and our neighbors. Its planted in a very weird spot and was kind of pushing on the fence anyway so our neighbor said he would appreciate if it was just gone. We love our neighbors and they were really awesome about the whole thing. They helped us cut it up and get the fence back up, it was a huge project. We had our home teacher come help us one night and our neighbors were always out there helping too. Its so nice to have such great neighbors. Tytyn and I were both really sad to see the tree go though. Tytyn bawled the whole time it was being cut down. He kept saying "NO thats my tree, don't cut it down!!!" He played in the tree all the time, I felt bad it had to go. 

These are my cantaloupe and watermelon plants. Supposedly melons grow REALLY well here.

My huge zucchini plants.

I've got carrots, onions, peas, green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, broccoli, cucumbers, corn, potatoes, and strawberries. Its kept me busy this summer, but I've really enjoyed my garden alot. Everything just tastes SO much better from the garden.

Working on the fence.

LOOK! I have watermelon growing! Can you see the 3 different sizes?! I hadn't looked for any growing for about a week and when I saw these on Saturday I literally screamed in joy, I was SO excited to see these little things. I've got about 5 or 6 watermelon growing and about 3 cantaloupe so far. I'm really excited for fresh melon from the garden!
