The Garden...beginning to end

-
Yep...it's freezing time...and my garden...well what's left is going away for this season so I decided I better post some photos of it's amazing growth this year!
Here's the beginning... also had some lettuce but in June and July the hail we had destroyed it...so Malachi planted corn!
And here's a small harvest of carrots...still have a ton frozen.
And now you can see my gigantic three tomato plants!!! Yep they towered over the fence the day I took them down! We also had strawberry plants but we'll get more next year. Under the tomato's was hidding a sad cucumber plant...Malachi stepped on when I planted it so it became his cucumber...and you'll see what we got from it..ha!
Here are hot cherry peppers and Poblano'sAnd here's my pride heirloom tomato's that are eventually two toned and delicious.Here's the lowly cucumber that we got from our sad plant. Still tasted great!Here's our first bit of raspberries...yes we ate them and next year we should have a bunch more!And a very small portion of our yellow pear tomato's and my harvest of New Mexico peppers/Jalepeno's/and seranos!Ok So here's the green bells/red bells/yellow bells that have since rippened...and the green tomato's I harvested before the freeze. Now they've all been pickled/eaten/rippened/ or made into homemade chicken wing sauce! Yum.And Malachi's one good corn we got from his five stalks...so yummy! And yes it's a hybrid red corn. We'll grow more next year.His pride...the cucumber!And now...when it's warm enough they just dig out there together!

Moving to California, our Journey from 2 viewpoints.

-
     So we are moving to San Diego California!  We are going to be attending a Christian Discipleship school called IMPACT 195 (i195.org).  The goal of this school is to grow people in their relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can impact the world for God's kingdom during these 12 months and afterwards for the rest of their lives.  Please go online and check it out if you are interested in seeing what we are going to be up to!      Since we have made the decision to go to San Diego, time has gone by so quickly, so here is the back story from Aaron's perspective.  I have worked now for Furniture Row for almost 10 years!  I have also been married for 10 years!  So needless to say, I started with Furniture Row 3 months after we got married back in 2003.  As most of you know, we have moved from Colorado to Montana to Indiana to Michigan and then back to Colorado!  It has gone by quickly and we have had 4 amazing kids in the process.  Last year as Malachi started school ful

Caleb Anthony Taylor

Wheewww! What a CHRISTmas we have had. I know many of you all know about our surpise gift of delivering Caleb almost 9 weeks early on Dec. 22. But I also know that there are many details we just have been too overwhelmed with this to share. So here goes. This journey has been amazing. It is as if the Lord just said "I want to show you more of me. More of why so many things and people are in your lives. Remember...I am the one writing this story and I have always had something greater than you know planned." No kidding! The minute that the doctor said I was dialated to 6 we looked at each other and a flood of crying came...and came...and came. And then thru the tears Aaron's first words were..."Do you like Caleb Anthony?" Yep, we had not fully decided on his name and this was our top pic for a while we just couldn't hammer it down. Absolutely is his name= "COURAGEOUS". When the time came for the last few hours of real hard contractions this time, i

Rachel and Avery ...who's the tatle tail?

-
I had to post this video because it shows precious Avery being friendly with Rachel and well, they just don't understand hurting each other, nor does Rachel try to escape. As you will see my sweet daughter looks at mom to take care of her frustration...ya know. I think deep inside she's thinking.."mom, why don't you put her in time out and make her cry like you do with Malachi when he's mean to me?? Come on mom?". But Rachel is absolutely in love with her cousin and her brother even when they pick on her. It's cute but someday Rachel will get back at them...and I hope I have the camera ready! (Also...Rachel wasn't hurt in this video and don't think I'm not running to her aide when she's actually in pain..)
