Baby Time!

Last weekend Brea and I threw Staci her first baby shower at Brea's house!

It was very fun watching Stac open lots of great things for LP. I am getting very anxious to meet her...she will be here before we know it! :)

Here are a few pics to recap the shower.

New Hobby?

I shot my first gun. Actually that was the first time I held a gun too.

AJ showed me how to hold the gun and shoot it, but didn't give me a heads up that it would actually hurt my arm.

I tried a couple shots at first. After I rested my arm I tried again shooting clays. I didn't hit any but was pretty darn close! I will get them next time!

Car Wash

Have you ever taken your dogs with you to an automatic car wash?

I did and it was hilarious. They freaked out- Roy actually jumped to the front seat to get a closer look at the soap. It was blue and pink soap- pretty cool. Abby turned around in the back seat to watch the rear window. They followed the soap and water the entire time. I have never seen them so focused and excited or nervous at the same time.

That was the best car wash ever.

Jade Plants

We were given two Jade Plants from our friends the Willoughbys.

They are about 5 years old right now. (Willoughbys have a huge one that is 15 yrs. old!)

Usually AJ and I don't do very well with inside plants- but so far so good. I don't think I can kill this one. I kept the bigger one inside and made two smaller ones from the other plant which are outside.

Ben came earlier this summer and did some pruning for me. He made my two plants into four plants. It is really easy to start a new plant. You can either separate them (cutting the root) which new leaves come up pretty quickly. Or you can just take a leaf and stick it in water. Roots appear and there you go! I have started a couple plants for people- kind of cool.

I looked up a little more about Jade Plants. They can sometimes be referred to as friendship tree, lucky plant or Money Plant (I like the name of this one). It said under the right conditions, they may produce small white or pink star like flowers in early spring. I hope this happens:)

It had rained so had some yucky moss stuff in it.

The branch got a little wobbly so I later put a stick thing in there to hold it up.
