Birthday party and playing in the dirt

Saturday was Mawmaw Berryhill's (Daniel's mawmaw) birthday and our first adventure of the day was celebrating her birthday at the nursing home with family and friends of Mrs. Berryhill's.  She was so happy so many people were there to celebrate her birthday day with her!  There was yummy butter cream cake that was so good.  Wyatt loved eating his piece of cake.  Thanks to Aunt Lauren for feeding it to him while I had a moment to savor mine without worrying about him!  It's little moments like these a mother can appreciate (:  It was a very pleasant gathering (I think I can speak for everyone there).
Later Wyatt and I took advantage of the beautiful day all afternoon.  Wyatt crawled around the yard and even played in the dirt that Daniel tilled up for our garden.  Boy, did he have a great time!  He even tasted it a few times, but didn't like how it tasted.  I'm glad he didn't like it.  It seems like a tradition in childhood to taste dirt, atleast one time (: 
We have plenty of dirt where are garden is going (we are planting closer to Easter to make sure all the cold weather is gone).  This is our third garden since we have lived here and all have been very successful in producing us with good vegetables.  Fresh cooked green beans and steamed butternut squash are my favorite!  I love that we can grow our own food, especially for Wyatt and future baby Clark.  The only probem we face every year are the deer.  We have tried many different things to keep them out, but most have failed.  Luckily we still end up with enough vegetables.

Wyatt is talking in this picture and in the one below.  He probably is saying how awesome it is playing in the dirt.  That's what "bah"means, maybe (:








Yummmy!
