These Are The Days!

Time flies when you are having fun! I worry everyday that I will forget the precious moments that I share with my family, so I have decided that I need to do a better job capturing those memories. My sweet babies are growing so fast and I not only want to remember them as babies, but watch them grow into the amazing people they are!

Sunflowers!

At the beginning of the summer, the kids were bored one weekend and wanted to plant some seeds.  I don't know why, but we had a few packages of sunflower seeds in the drawer and we said, "why not!"  Literally, they threw them on the ground in the corner of our backyard.  We dug a few holes, but nothing more than an inch or two at the most.  Jason and I did not expect anything to come of it.

After about 2 weeks we started seeing sprouts come out of the ground!  Jason and I were shocked, but still expected not much more.  Well, those sunflowers, grew and grew.  The kids began to want to water them in the evenings and used their height to measure the plants growth.   Jason and I were amazed!

Now it has been about 2 and 1/2 months and the sunflowers are HUGE!  They are taller than the fence and some even tower over me (6'1")!!  What a fun thing for our family to witness!!
