This one is for my Mom!

There are two thinks my mom can not get enough of in this world: 1) Her Grandchildren, and 2) Alpacas. So I think that she will really like these pictures.

We went for a Sunday drive today, and happened upon an Alpaca Farm.  So, of course we had to stop to take pictures for Grandma.  I hope you liked them Mom.

Garden Catstrophy

We finally got around to transporting 

our plant starts into our garden.  The starts were all looking really good while they were in the starter container, then we moved them....  Have you ever attempted to garden with a ONE-year-old?  Well, they lets just say that they like to help, A LOT; and that they are SUPER CURIOUS; to the point that the plants don't survive.

Owen was so fascinated by these green stringy thing that I was putting in the dirt, that he just had to get a better look at them.  I soon as I would plant them, he would pull them up, and start pulling their leaves off.  And the few that I managed to keep him from uprooting when they were first planted, he has since plucked.  Ohhh Goodness.  What will I do with this boy?

Here is what my starts looked like before we planted them:

This is what the garden's looked like right after we planted.  You have to look close, but you can actually see sprouts in the boxes.

A few short days later, here is what the gardens look like after Owen got to them:

 

So what started out as my great dream to have a garden this year, has been temporarily been delayed.  I think that I am just going to have to try and plant seed directly in the dirt, and see if they grow.  Maybe the Boy wont pull them up if they gradually appear.

At least my tomato and herbs have survived so far:

Our Newest Toy!

For Christmas each year, my parents give their married kids a certain amount a money with the instruction to buy something their family wants/needs.  Then on Christmas, we bring it wrapped up, to my parents house so that they can open what they got for us.  Kinda silly, but it has turned into a really fun tradition.  The Christmas before Owen was born Tom and I decided that we needed a camera so that we could capture every moment of our new baby's life.  

Well, we have fallen in love with taking pictures (of more then just Owen).  Both Tom and I have really grown to enjoy photography.  A couple of months ago, I mentioned to Tom that I would ONE day like to have an SLR camera.  He actually remembered this; and well, his idea of ONE day was much sooner then mine.  Little did I know, but Tom has been saving up a little bit for the past couple of months to get me an SLR camera for Mother's Day!  How cool is he?  Yes, I know, he is the coolest.  

So, now we have entered a whole new world of photography, and I can hardly wait to learn how to use my new toy!!!!

1000 Days!!!!

WARNING:  The following Post is full of MUSHY content!

Today Tom and I have been married for exactly 1000 days!!!  I can hardly believe it!  

I fall in love with him more and more each day!  I am so blessed to have him as my husband, and as Owen's daddy.

Heres to 1000 Great Days!

I LOVE YOU A LOT, A LOT, A LOT!!!

I fixed it!

SO I fixed my Facebook account.  You should be able to find me now.  My email address is:

diffendoofer@hotmail.com

We Finally Did It.

Well, it is official, Tom and I have now joined the "Evil Network" as I call it.  You might know is as FACEBOOK.  Go ahead, look us up: Rosie - diffendoofer@hotmail.com, Tom - Thomfullmer@gmail.com.  I think that it will be fun being able to reconnect with people, but I honestly don't see myself falling in love with it.  

I mostly created the account so that people could find my blog.  Lets be honest, I am too lazy to give the world constant updates on more then one website; Anyone who is linked to my Good Reads account can testify to that; I rarely update that.  But I guess we will see how I do with FaceBook this time around.  Hopefully, I will keep it active enough for it not to get closed.  :0)

National ODD Day - 5/7/9

Well, today was National ODD Day, which takes place when three consecutive odd numbers make up the date. This only happens six times in a century!  So needless to say, I have spent the entire day trying to do random odd things, such as: going with my friend Jenn to Walmart to make Mother's Day cards for OURSELVES; driving all the way out to Oxbow Park just to take a picture of a outhouse (and when I got there, I forgot to take the picture); and posting a personal ad on Craig's List for my single friend.

But of all the dumb things that I did, and saw today, this has got to take the cake.  My mom sent me this email today, and Oh Boy does it ever fit in the "ODD" category.  

You have to watch the whole thing, it starts getting really crazy about 1 minute into it.
