Matt's Birthday Weekend

Last weekend was lots of fun. Matt finally had time to plant his garden. We've been getting so much rain around here.. it was overcast and cool but that works out good. We gave him his birthday gifts a few days early. New gloves, a very manly garden tool with a cerated edge for cutting open soil bags(or popping open a beverage), and a super cute garden gnome that Maddie picked out. She kept it a secret from daddy for almost a week.

In between planting his vegetables, Matt and Maddie shared some Daddy/Daughter time and they planted strawberries together. Each night they've been going out back to see how their crops are doing.



Our new garden gnome!


Maddie's Strawberries


The finished garden... corn, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc.
(notice the tiny garden gnome in the corner.. he's pretty small.)


While the rest of the family was outside, I was inside baking and frosting this masterpiece... lol Ok, not the prettiest and doesn't really look like it's for a daddy BUT I did make some of the buttercream frosting from scratch and tried out a new writing tool. The family thought it was delicious and that's all that matters.



No complaints here!


Happy 38th Birthday Lovie!
