This weekend we decided to start a small garden on our porch, nothing big since we dont have a lot od space but enough for us to enjoy and even use. We bought a bougainvillea, a pumpkin plant and herbs that we can hopefully grow and use in the kitchen. Abby loved helping daddy transfer the plants into their pots, although I have to say she had more fun playing in the dirt then anything else. After all of the planting festivities we headed to the pool to cool off and enjoy the rest of the day. I love lazy weekends and creating our very own garden.

Shaun and Abby add dirt to the pot for our herb garden.

Little Abby hand prints in the dirt. Love these memories.

Shaun and Abby place the first of five herb plants. This one would be our Oregano, yummy!

Our mini porch garden! A bougainvillea and our herb pot filled with basil, oregano, thyme, dill and chives. I see a lot of yummy and well seasoned food in our future.

Ellie is showing off her new bathing suit and some excited smiles for the pool. Love my little fishy.

After a long swim, its always nice to snuggle up into your towel and just hang out.

Its tired smiles for Ellie after a nice long swim.
