Alec's Rockin'

Alec attended Rock Camp this week where he takes drum lessons.
At the beginning of the week they were divided up into bands. Then through the week each band worked on a song. He really had a good time. Tonight they had a performance night where they played their songs.

Alec's band played Detroit Rock City.

I think he rocked it!

Here it is:

Now for a little gushing

Some of the cutest couples :)

Abbi and Tim went to Phantom of the Opera this week. They said it was wonderful.



Samuel's visiting! You think they're happy?

And I'm missing this guy


He's up in Tennessee for the week. Coming home tomorrow though.. phew..

Growing, growing

Remember the sweet potato plants?


Here they are now!


Yeah, I'm thinkin' sweet potatoes like Georgia weather. We were a bit worried as we were putting them in that we didn't till the dirt enough; or add enough fertilizer/compost types of stuff.. but they sure look healthy. I guess we'll see, I'm guessing in September, how they're doing under the surface.

Some other plants that we're enjoying.

This space is right under our deck. It was empty when we moved in.. just mulch, but we decided to put that ground to work.We have some zinnias, tomatoes, sweet bell pepper, cucumber and mint, oh.. and a mum plant that grows all year round, yeah, I'm still amazed at this growing season. :)




Isn't it amazing how many tomatoes you can grow from just one plant?


Here's Kyra's cucumber plant. She wanted a cucumber plant so badly, so we found this at home depot. I didn't really notice what kind it was. We've discovered, now, that it's a pickling plant. She was worried at first that it wouldn't be that great for just eating raw, but they're just as yummy as ever.

We call it the king of all cucumber plants. We're amazed at how huge it is!


And can you guess how sweet this flower smells? So heavenly the magnolia smells... mmmmm.. and right in my back yard. Nice huh?
