Our Week: Garden and Outside Time

We've had such a wonderful week, keeping busy with the garden and our little girl.  My birthday was over the weekend and Katie got to help make a cake.  She liked helping use the hand mixer.
Dad's dog, Diamond stayed over the weekend and Katie loved having her around.  She would pile toys all around Diamond...poor dog was very patient.
We went to see our puppy on Monday, only two more weeks until she gets to come home!  Katie was crazy about the dog and tried picking it up several times.  It will definitly be a learning process once we get our puppy home.




Katie making silly faces at Daddy on the car ride home from the dog breeder.
After we got home Katie went outside.  While we were fixing dinner she got to "paint" with water on the patio and draw with chalk.

She's really enjoying her new chair.  The first day we had it she had to take it everywhere with her.
What do you get when you mix this innocent little face with spaghetti and chocolate cake?!

A spaghetti and chocolate cake covered silly girl!

We've been doing a lot of work in the garden.  Rich made some raised beds out of cedar.  We've got all of them filled up except the long one.  The long one is for asparagus and needs to be filled up slowly throughout the summer so the asparagus won't rot while sprouting.
Katie loves helping out in the garden (or maybe she just likes playing in the dirt).


Getting cleaned off before going in for lunch.


Can you tell she sat down in the mud?


Katie and Knox had a playdate.  They were so excited to see each other and play together.



We've gone on several walks down the trail this week.




To my complete surpise Katie put on her own shoes today!  I know I'm a proud mom but that seems pretty amazing to me!  She was really concentrating on getting them on just right.


See the look of complete concentration?

Taaa daaa!  Shoe on, all by herself!
