One of my most favorite quiet spots....

is in our garden. I was out picking green beans today. They are planted inbetween rows of corn. I was squatting down picking beans when I realized the corn was tall enough to hide me. From the boys. It was great! :) It was nice and quiet and peaceful.


Oh look. A little baby corn is growing. How cute is that! I love watching the garden plants change. It always amazes me that they know how to grow from a seed to be able to produce food for people/animals to eat. Our corn. It's tall enough to hide in now. (I will have to keep this in mind the next time we play outside hide and go seek. )
My little flower patch with a zucchini plant thrown in for good measure. Actually - I don't even know how the zucchini seed got there. It must have been in with the flower seeds. The seeds were leftover from when I was helping cub scouts make milk jug planters back in May. I bet the seeds got mixed up. That's okay though. It just makes everything more interesting - that's all.

i'm coming to your house to hide in the rows of corn! seriously, wow, you've been getting quite a bit of work done - and none of it involved sitting in front of the computer with words from bodiless (human) beings flashing in front of your eyes. good for you! i'm jealous. and out of words. night-night!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
