Midnight Sun

So, as I finished up watching Twilight last night for the 2nd time, I got to thinking about how the progress was coming for the 2nd movie. I searched on Dogpile for New Moon movie and was brought to Stephanie Meyer's website. I looked around and found this. Midnight Sun. It is the story from Edward's perception. It is so good so far. It looks to be the whole book, but it is just a draft, but I'm reading it and loving it. Hope you enjoy!!

Twilight

So, the books have been read, the big-screen has shown the movie, so what's left? That's right, it's time for the movie to be released on DVD. And just not any DVD, if you go here, Target, then you can get the 3 disk deluxe edition with an I-tunes download so you can take it with you on your I-pod. I am so excited about that lol. I am gonna love having it with me to watch when I've got a few minutes to kill. Woooohooooo!! The third disk has like 45 minutes of bonus material not seen before, so we will see if that is any good. I'm not going to pre-order mine, I'm going to be at Target bright and early Saturday morning to get my copy so I don't have to wait! Wish they were 24 hours! So who else is going to be getting their copy on Saturday??

Grow Baby Grow

Last year we planted a garden. It was a decent size and produced well for our knowledge and skills. This year we have educated ourselves and expanded our garden, by more then 5 times we had it last year. I couldn't get a full picture of it either, I'm going to try climbing on a ladder, to get a full view of it, so we will see. We planted a ton of things. It is going to be so good if everything grows. I'm so excited. This has really been Lorie's and I project, with Adam offering advice and labor every once in a while. We planted tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, bell peppers, hot peppers, banana peppers, basil, green onions, yellow onions, cilantro, parsley, chives, eggplant, bush beans, pinto beans, mint, strawberries and a few other things that I can't think of right now. Lorie, help me out and tell me what I'm missing :) Lorie saw an idea of turning an old tire inside out and we got Adam to cut the tire and turn it inside out. We spray painted them and used them to plant some beans. We planted the peas and cucumbers along the fence and have 3 rows of tomatoes. Can't wait to can and freeze tomatoes and stop buying them at the store!! I also planted 4 bushes of blackberries along one side of the property, I so can't wait for those to be ready to harvest. Yum, jelly, ice cream, and frozen berries, so excited!!! Here are a few pictures, I'll explain what each one is so you know what you are looking at.

This is the back part of the garden. The back row is the peas and cucumbers along the fence. The small timbered row is our strawberries. Then tomatoes and some yellow onions. The stepping stones are a tree that we lost during Ike that Adam cut up to use as stepping stones.

This is a close-up of our yellow onions. See how they are already doing good, it's been a month since we planted. They aren't very big underneath, but we can use the top as green onions while they keep growing.

This is some of the peas growing on the fence. Almost all of them have grown up enough to grab onto the fence to start climbing.

This is the front area of the garden, looking at this picture, on the left, are 3 more rows of veggies, and on the right are the tires with the bush beans and a few tomato plants we have left over.

This is the tire with pinto beans growing. They are doing awesome. Please excuse the white dust, it's seven dust. We've been fighting some stubborn ants and hopefully this will be the end of them. They've gone from the bed to the tire and hopefully this is it.

Landscaping 101

We've been here for almost 6 years and have never done anything more to our yard besides the small flower beds up by the front of our house. This year, we really wanted to add more to our yard area and give the driveway some "curb appeal". So we've been steady adding to the yard. We have a while to go, but it all costs money, so we've been adding a little every payday. I love the things around the tree, can't wait for the flowers to grow!! So here are a few pictures of what we've been working on.

Our hanging jalapeno plant on the porch!

The small flower bed around a few trees. I have a long way to go with that, but I'm working on it!

Our flower bed that I've planted every year, this year it's doing awesome, we blocked off the porch so the dog can't climb that way and it has protected the bed. I should have a rose in a week or so!

Our curb appeal lol! Adam came up with the idea to make the flower bed around the fence, we did it on both sides, but I couldn't get a good picture, had to be too far out, but both sides are the same. We have two solar powered spot lights that illuminate our names at night, it's awesome!

Our small fountain/fish tank. Kameron wanted some fish to go it in like he has seen at the garden center at Wal-Mart so I let him pick out two goldfish and they are swimming around in there.

I added pictures of the fruit trees that we planted to that original post!

Kort and Morgan 3-6-09

Friday March 6, 2009. The day that Adam's brother tied the knot. Adam was the best man and Kameron was the ring bearer. They had to be at the place at 12:30 that afternoon and we followed them around 3:30 for family pictures. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding. Kort even sang a song to Morgan during the ceremony. After the ceremony, we headed back indoors for the reception and dinner. It had a good turn-out! Here are a few pictures.
