Grandma Pam's Grandkids Garden

2011-07-08T08:38:00.000-07:00

With the onset of spring a little late this year, Grandma's garden is about 6 weeks behind. Hopefully we will still have lots of produce when it comes time to harvest. For mother's day I got individual garden plot signs from Jenny, Brett , and Taylor. Dale and Tabby and their boys gave me kits to make individual stepping stones for each plot. Each grandchild made their own and when the cement dried, it was spectacular!

We have harvested the peas already and things are looking good!

My new grandson and the 20th great blessing in my life

2010-10-21T20:18:00.000-07:00

No greater joy can come to a grandmother than to see those new little ones come into our family--a sacred gift from God. I forget how it feels to have an hour old , precious spirit, in my arms again. If only he could tell me of the events just prior to his arrival. Our new Henry brings with him the awe and wonder of that pre-existence that we know is just beyond the veil--if only we knew more! I am so grateful for the love and support of all my children for each other . You are the light that shines within me and inspires me to do and be more! I love you all. These pictures say it all!!

More Pictures!

Football and Birthdays

2010-09-13T18:29:00.001-07:00

It must be fall with all the football and birthdays in September. I love the cool weather! Kind of good weather for penguins, don't you think? If I hadn't had a bum knee I would have tucked my legs underneath me like Lincoln! Watch that one on the left--it bites and I have a black and blue mark to prove it! It was still fun! Happy Birthday Lincoln and Hunter. Go Murray and South Summit Football. That is Hunter with his little team doing the Huka before the game. Looks like Harvy Unga leading the pack! Or maybe not! It is great to watch. Easton , Hunter and Logan are all playing awesome and next week I'll have pictures of TJ, Connor, and Braden in their fall sports events. Headed down there this weekend. It's great! The scout leader took one look at Braden's sunflower and said he hadn't seen one that big EVER!!! Thank you Miracle Grow!

Baptisms and Birthdays

Garden is Growing

2010-07-27T12:00:00.001-07:00

As of yesterday we had 9 ft. corn and enough zuccini to make every recipe in the Zuccini Hudini Book ten times over. Miracle grow every two weeks has improved things considerably. All but the giant pumpkins. They better hurry up! James has red tomatoes and Taylor has the best looking lettuce in town. And it is only July! Way to go guys. I got Grandma set up on a computer so you can all email her any time you want. violetmcardle@att.net. She is enjoying it. A whole new world.

Happy Fourth of July!!

Fun at the Cabin and the Fourth of July

2010-07-09T14:37:00.000-07:00

We all took time out from baseball and the garden to have a little fun fishing, playing "golf" and watching for the doose. You all think that is pretty funny but it really did look like a baby moose! Well, I did manage to take all the kids fishing. Is that what we were doing? Needed hot dogs for bait instead of whatever that was. Dutch oven tasted so good but without those liners from Sabrina it would have been awful to clean up. What was I thinking anyway. Oh, yeh, it was hot in the house. Well, thanks to Brett and Jenny for the fire pit and the smores! Just look at Amy to tell how good those were with Jumbo marshmallows! Have "smore" Amy! Only have one picture of Jimmy's fireworks display with Shaun. That's because I was too busy keeping the embers off Kennedy's and my head! That hairspray would have gone up in flames like nothing. Good work Shaun-- She got right in there lighting the fireworks and everything. That's because Jimmy was too busy putting out the fire in the field!

Happy Father's Day to my family. You are the joy of my life.

2010-06-17T20:17:00.000-07:00

I have some recent pictures of Dads and kids of some of you that caught my eye as I looked through my pictures. How blessed I am as a mom to have such wonderful sons and son in laws. As we celebrate your day, may you always enjoy those little ones and may Father's Day always be a GREAT DAY!

Garden and baseball

2010-06-11T21:32:00.001-07:00

Time out for a little baseball. Halle, Lincoln, and Carson are the cutest! I just sit and laugh at how sweet and sincere they all are. And those ring pops make your tongue BLUE! Or Red or Green! Thanks grandma but maybe next time you could wait till after the team pictures! What fun it is to watch all these little ones play ball. Easton's games are a little more intense but just as fun to watch. I cant wait to get home from work to go to the games! It makes my days!

Let the Planting begin!

2010-05-21T17:23:00.000-07:00

We are ready for the sunshine to help these seeds and seedlings grow! Right now it looks like a lot of dirt--just wait till it all pops up! May 21, 2010 Halle's cauliflower is up, Eastons corn, Lots of sunflowers all up, potatoes all around the fenceline, those big pumpkins are up and Lincoln's cucumbers are all up! Shaylees zuccine and Avery's squash is up. James has blossoms on his tomatoe plants and I saw a white pumpkin in Carson's plot! Yah Hoo , it's spring!

2010-05-21T17:19:00.000-07:00

Let the planting begin!

2010-05-21T17:05:00.000-07:00

Everyone has planted and with all the rain we are now seeing those little green leaves and sprouts poke their heads up through the ground. Halle's cauliflower is up, Shaylees zuccini, Easton's corn, Lincoln's cucumbers and lots more are coming up. Potatoes are up along the fence line, tomatoes are blossoming and big pumpkins are searching for the sun! Yah hoo, its spring!

more fun in the dirt!

Grandma Pam's Grandkids Garden Journal

2010-05-12T20:30:00.000-07:00

It is almost spring and we are ready to plant Grandma's Grandkids Garden. This year brings new seeds, new ideas, and lots of excitement as we chose our seeds and staked out our plots! My backyard is divided up into 20 plots as our new little grandson will be born just in time for the harvest in October. We have everything from cauliflower to Atlantic Giant Pumpkins! I can't wait and the planting has gone well so far. We have peas coming up along with the potatoes along the fence. We all have visions of Gigantic Pumpkins, succulent watermelon, and GIANT sunflowers (hopefully Braden will win the school contest with his!). I have learned a few tricks to plant and fertilize so this year should be even better than last! Lots of miracle grow!

This blog will be a journal of the planting all the way to the harvest! I hope you all enjoy the ride! Everyones seeds sprouted in their cups so we should do at least that good in the ground!

Fun, fun, fun!
