They're Sprouting!
A couple weeks ago I planted my first ever herbs. I actually started with seeds which is ambitious for me since I am notorious for killing every plant I've ever had. BUT Mom and I were out shopping at Do-It Center and I saw the little packets and decided this was going to be the year for me to grow something. I have grand ambitions to grow a vegetable garden next year but I should start little so I know I can do it. Well guess what folks? My seeds have sprouted! Yes...I am actually growing something. I am quite proud of my tiny little parsley, oregano, and basil sprouts.

Luke's 8th Birthday!
I can hardly believe my baby boy is 8! Time just seems to fly by. I swear when he woke up on Sunday he even looked older.
We are taking Luke and Ivy for a surprise trip to Magic Mountain this Saturday to celebrate so we just had a quiet family day on Sunday. We went to lunch then it was off to Skatelab for a new deck. Luke had been saving for 3 months to be able to contribute to it and I was proud of his patience. He was so excited that the board he had picked out last month was still there. The guy behind the counter was super nice and even gave Luke some free stickers since it was his birthday. We are seriously lucky to live in the same city as Skatelab.
Then it was off to meet up with Tiff and the girls to get Slurpees and play a little at the park. It was a little chilly but what kid would turn down friends and a sugar rush.
Ok so we broke the rules and let Luke skate without his helmet BUT how could I deny him on his birthday?
About this time Ben stole the camera to get some awesome shots of the park and of course cute kid pics.
Strike a pose!
After the park we went home so I could make Luke's Birthday Dinner. He chose Creamy Chicken which is an easy recipe that I promise to post someday. Then to end the day we had birthday cream puffs!
Make a wish!
It was such a nice, quiet day. We were so happy that Ben just happened to have the day off so we could all be together. We are really looking forward to Saturday at Magic Mountain though. The kids have been trying to guess where we're going for months now and they still haven't gotten it right. Hopefully we'll be able to take a few pics with Ben's old camera...I'm definitely NOT taking mine.
