Minnesota

We are finally starting to get settled into our new house. The one thing that I really wanted was a table and chairs so that we can eat outside, which is my favorite thing about summer. We eat every meal we can out here.
This is our massive backyard. We got a lawn mower and it takes about an hour and a half to mow the whole thing.

I love gardens! Nothing is better than fresh home grown veggies. It just happened that the house we got had a really big garden! We planted tomatoes, basil, rosemary, pumpkins, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and many other things. Since we moved in a little late in the season I am hoping that all of the plants will take.


This is the tiny part of the garden that we actually planted in. Next year we want to use the whole thing and plant lots of stuff.









Minnesota is very hot and humid. The dogs to not like that very much at all ( especially because they can not come into the house). We got them a pool for $5 so that they can cool off; they absolutely love it.











When we where moving we had a lot of cleaning we had to do. Being pregnant I am a little paranoid about breathing in too many chemicals. I didnt know what to do because I can lift a lot being prego. I came up with a plan I made a mask out of paper towels and a dog leash so that it would block some of the chemicals.

Haha! I love your mask! LOL :) That pool looks wonderful...even to me! I'd find it rather tempting to jump in with the dogs!

Morgan you crack me up girl. That mask might come in handy when you are changing some masivly stinky diapers in the near future.
I wanna make a trip up to have lunch with you in the cities. It will have to wait till I get back from UT. later in August!
