A Praying Mantis!



While watering tonight, Luis discovered a grasshopper, and then...a praying mantis. The bugs were collected, documented and (reluctantly, of course) returned to the wild. It was an exciting evening for our budding scientist!

Garden Time...




The garden has really come into it's own this past week- the kids have enjoyed picking the peppers and lettuce we eat, plus it looks like the tomato plants are going to be awesome this year!!
Ben took a "photo shoot" with his dinosuars out there yesterday:).

Happy Birthday!




Our little girl is two today. Sigh. All week long I've been asking her, "How old are going to be?" to which she always replied, "Cake!" :) So, needless to say, the cake seemed to be what was most looking forward to...though balloons came in a close second place.
