Birthday party for 6 girls!
Our bible study group had 6 girls born last June (out of 8 women in the group) . We had a bday party to celebrate all of the girls turning 1. We had the party early due to scheduling, but celebrated all the same. We had a great time. We had a cookout, fishing, smores and fun for all of the kids.

We have a crop!
I have been begging Rusty to build a garden for years. This year we finally did it- and I am proud to say that it is doing extremly well. My herbs are looking wonderful. I have loved being able to cook dinner by grabbing ingrediants last minute out of the yard instead of having to run to the store.
Today, Reese and I went out and saw RED in the garden. We have our first batch of tomatoes. They have taken over the garden. I moved the mellons and the herbs out of the garden because tomatoes are EVERYWHERE! I am excited that we are going to have a great crop of home grown food this summer. This is a great family tradition to get started. I remember gardening as a child and how much fun it was. Now if only I can get Reese to eat tomatoes! I am going to making a lot of tomato sauce and freezing!
Here is a picture on the day we built it (somehow the only one I took- we dont have one of it completed)
and a picture of our first crop

Can't get a break
Poor Caleigh cant get a break. I took her to the dr on Tues and she has the stomach bug (after several days of not keeping anything down we wanted to make sure it wasn't a complication from surgery). She got over that and then had a spot of poison ivy that we went back to the dr for. Obviously she didn't get in the plant but touched something or someone that did. Its a small spot on her leg, but still another addition to her sick week!
It wont be long before we are off to Jackson Hole.I am slowly getting it together and reading my travel book. I am usually very prepared for a trip! I have a feeling we will show up at the concierge and tell them to plan the week for us!
Rusty and I took a cooking class together on Tues. I thought it was fun. He said he cant work with me in a kitchen because I am a disaster with tools:) I have really really improved my skills over the past few years and actually think I am getting pretty good, thanks to the classes. Well, partially the classes and partially having a kid with a milk allergy and not being able to cook casseroles.
On that note- I put a little bit of cows milk in with Caleighs milk today and no issues! I know she passed her allergy test, but the fact that she had no reaction to a small amount of straight milk is fantastic! Rusty and I were commenting out at dinner the other night (when we ordered fish tacos not thinking they would have cream sauce on them) how great it is to be able to just feed your kid off the table at a restaurant without having to call a chef over or read up on the menu before you go! We tend to stick to the same restaurants over and over where we know he wont get sick, as a result. Now we just pray that Reese listens to me when I tell him that if he drinks Caleighs cups he will be in the hospital and unable to breathe. I really wanted to put her on soy milk but the dr really advised me to put her on cows milk since soy is like being on diet milk (hence why Reese is only 8 lbs more than she is)

Ear Tube Surgery
Everything went well this am with her surgery. We had to be there at 6 and of course the dr didn't come until 7:30. I had to walk her in the stroller for an hr to keep her happy while we waited because she was so tired and hungry. She was hysterical after surgery but fell asleep on the way home and took a 3 hr nap. Everything went well, she was just so tired. They said in the or she was shaking her head no, making them laugh and trying to lick the inside of the gas mask. Rusty stayed home today to take care of her and to take Reese to school this am. Its been funny to listen to them play. Its not often Caleigh and Rusty get to play by themselves.
She already seems happier and does seem a bit louder- now that she can hear better:)

Good news and bad
The bad news is that we are meeting next week with a dr to put tubes in Caleighs ears. 6 ear infections have been enough!
The great news is that her allergy test came back clean. Praise God! I am so excited about this. Its been so much easier to feed a child when you don't have to read the labels and ingredient lists of everything you have! Its so funny how feeding cheese and yogurt didnt even occur to me until a friend mentioned it. I have no knowledge in the land of baby food and dairy! I was hoping if she did have them, that they would atleast be the same ones, so to have none is a double blessing!
