It's June!! (almost)

Hey Dorotha!!!! Your birthday is next week!!! Whew hew! Happy Bday early!!!

Well, it's a new month starting MONDAY! Of course it's the 1st of a new month AND a Monday. So if anyone is starting a new diet or excercise program...June is a good month to start :)
We have had a fun week with the slip and slide this week with Aunt Madi! It's been fun. I don't think we will even put it away! I am sure that thing will break by the end of summer if we keep using it like we have this week.
We are so excited it's summer! Yes...it's REALLY hot, but lots of water keeps it very tolerable and really fun! And when we go out...THANK GOD for our baby bee cool carseat coolers (you guys who have one or have seen ours know what I mean)! How does anyone with little ones make it through the summer without one of those?
Anyway...this is Tyson's last week of ride alongs and Tuesday is his INTERVIEW!!! We are all nervous, anxious and excited here in the Esquibel house! We KNOW he will do great! BUT...let's just hope they like him as much as we do :) I really think he's in, but we are on the edge of our seats awaiting their decision !!
Oh...and I just realized that I haven't even mentioned my garden on here! Geez! This is my first experiance at gardening and I LOVE it! It's so neat to watch things grow that YOU plant. I have tomatoes that will soon be ready to pick, and my corn actually has stalks on it! MY squash is growing well, and our watermelon looks great so far (which I just replanted last week!).
I just planted some okra in a pot and will hopefully soon get my planter box started with all sorts of things. I decided yesterday after seeing an artichoke plant that I WANT one and have a spot that I picked for those! THEN...I want to start herbs in the house and have some hanging planters with bell peppers, zucchinni and strawberries. I still have to research blackberries and rasberries...AND I am hoping to either plant an anna apple tree or peach tree in the near future. I am just way too excited that I can grow things :) Everyone should at least have one pot goin' :) My friend Emily (hey Em!) has a big ol' garden growing and I can't wait to see it and get ideas :) She picked 13 tomatoes the other day! Go Emily!!!
So...I have a feeling this is going to be a good summer and great end of year! We are very blessed and thankful for everything we have! We have wonderful family and friends and are constantly meeting great people! There's not much more we could ask for:)
