Vance has a small planter that he's been growing a few plants in. I'm
not sure what he's been feeding them, but they're absolutely huge!
 |
| Vance's tomato plant. It's grown another 12 inches since this was taken, I think and probably twice as bushy. It's taller than he is . . . |
 |
| These are the only tomatoes we've gotten from Vance's enormous tomato plant. Although, there is about 10 tomatoes on it now. |
 |
| These are 2 of the 4 jalapeno peppers. Chad said they were really good, but not actually that hot. I'll take his word for it. |
 |
| This is basil that Vance has grown from seed. This is the 3rd batch that we've trimmed off of it ---all about this much. It doesn't even look like we've touched it. Amazing! |
We're loving that Myshel has a pool at her house. We've been taking advantage of it as much as we can.

Flynn is definitely becoming quite a water bug. He loves being in the water with everyone especially if we'll carry him around instead of putting him in his floaty-tube.
 |
| Oma and Flynn -- We couldn't get him to look at the camera for anything. |
|
 |
| Flynn LOVES the pool noodles, especially the yellow one. |
 |
| He'll try whatever it takes to get it back when it floats away. |
 |
| It's really cute . . . But the problem is . . . that once he gets it, he chews on it until he's nibbled off little pieces. Then he gets really angry when you dig them out of his mouth. |
 |
| Myshel and Flynn -- Myshel is looking so tan, especially when she's next to Flynn |
