Happy b-day Josh!

Today is Josh's birthday - I am so glad he was born! Here is a picture of his presents:
(Once I called him and told him I left a present in the driveway (I had scrubbed out the van) and he was like "A new truck!?!?" so I got him this truck (for one day only).
And a camping stove (so he can do all the cooking while we are out in the wilderness).
Also the totally cute train cake I made him:

We had some neighbors over to swim in the pool - VERY popular (now that it is warmer water) -but filling up buckets, old tires, spoons, etc with water and 'watering' the yard is still a FAVORITE pasttime of everyone. Ellie re-discovered this week that water + dirt = mud, so she has been stirring up mud pies.
Bugs and I worked on her garden/yard: A family that plays in the dirt together, stays together!
Bugs and I prep her 15 gallons of tomatoes for freezing (her garden soil is AWESOME!). She got like 7 quarts of tomatoes. (Maybe now she will invite us over one day for her famous lasagnas with FRESH tomatoes!)
