Ira's Garden

Well friends-- here is a couple pictures of Ira, in his garden. I am determined to make it the best garden of the year. Shawn has been super great getting everything in order before we started planting. We dragged an old rusty trellis that has been sitting behind the garage for years, and put it as the corner entrance to the garden. I made a sign for Iras Garden and now it is hanging on the side of the trellis for all to see. I starting making other signs to hang by the rows as well. This morning I got Ira in his overalls (thanks Kaycee) and took him out to take some photos. He just wanted to play in the dirt, but i was able to capture a few. I found the straw hat out in the garage, so im sure its from when my dad was a kid. Ira isnt a ton of help, he likes to kick the rows over, and throw around dirt where we just planted seeds, and pull out our starter plants, But he loves being outside and he loves to follow us around. He is pretty sure he is the best helper around.

I will take some more pics of the whole garden to give you a better idea, but today the focus is Ira!

When I put the memory card on my computer I saw this picture of Ira and it made me laugh again. One morning I woke Ira up and we had to go somewhere, so I got him dressed and put him down so i could look for his shoes. He followed me out of his bedroom into the living room where he laid his head against the couch and watched me run around looking for his shoes. When I found them I looked over at him and busted up laughing as how cute he was and hurried to get a picture, right as I snapped it he put his hand up, but right before this picture it was just his head keeping him upright. adorable.

Ira isnt much of a baby anymore. He is growing up so fast. He still doesnt get the whole English words thing. For a kid who talks so much, you'd think he would start figuring it out. I like to call the language chirabic.

Its cute, but I do get frusterated when he is mad about something and cant tell me. We are figuring it out though. Today I was singing silly songs and making funny noises and he was mimiking the tune and the sounds. it was pretty halarious.

We are hoping to visit Shawns family SOON! We will keep you posted, but if any of you want your own personal tour through Iras Garden, just come on up here and we can show you around! lol

We miss you all.
