1. We went to Houston last weekend. We haven't been there for a few months so it was nice to go again. We went to the temple and then went to a flea market. We set high expectations for the flea market and were disappointed. Also, we were weirded out by the homeless man who asked for money in exchange for "watching our car." Needless to say, I don't think we'll go back there. Then, we went shopping at Sam's Club. We also had lunch at Whataburger since we had a free sandwich coupon from the Easter Egg Hunt. Ashton did great the whole day!
2. Our garden is growing! A few years ago, we had a garden in Utah but sadly most of it died. Not this one! Our beets were pretty small so we only had enough for one meal. However, we have TONS of squash! We planted five squash plants assuming one or two would survive. Well, all five survived and are producing large summer squash. Our broccoli and cantaloupe are growing well. I'm excited to eat them.
3. We entered the real world and finally got smartphones. Except, I am pretty sure any kid in the primary could work it better than I can. Joseph has adapted well to it. Me, on the other hand, I am struggling. Once, I was trying to call my voicemail and somehow called my mom. I still don't know how to get to my voicemail. And I haven't even added my own message on it so if you call, sorry. It takes me a long time to figure out how do a simple task. Trying to keep up with the times though.
4. We got landscaping rocks around our fruit trees. We put this off for a while and finally bit the bullet and bought them. 72 dollars later, our trees/yard look much nicer. However, we weren't sure if our car could make the trip from Home Depot to our house with 36 bricks that weigh 22 poundseach . It did.
5. Ashton learned to feed herself puffs. She is so proud of her little self.
6. We had the missionaries over a few times this month, which gave me a reason to cook and bake a lot. I made homemade apple pie for the first time and it turned out great! I also made some cool cupcakes with fondant that I made. They turned out pretty cool.
8.Finally, Ashton has realized it's okay to nap in our arms. This is her after going on a walk with dad. May I also add that Joseph dressed her in all pink that day.
10. No mosquitoes yet! When we moved here a year ago, I recall there being mosquitoes so we're happy!
As you can tell, our life is pretty uneventful.
