Our New Apricot Tree...


So this weekend I was at a CTMH scrapbooking event and Jerry and Bridgette had some Daddy/Daughter time together... One thing they did was go to Home Depot and He let her choose a new fruit tree ~ she chose an Apricot tree... YUMMY! So, on Sunday after we came home from church, we all went out as a family and really enjoyed the afternoon in our BLOOMING backyard! The weather was beautiful and we all had a fun time playing outside together~ later some of our favorite friends came over ~ Vince, LaVonne, Sid, Giggie & Justin to have dinner and spend some time ~ We all so enjoy hanging out together! ~ So much fun ~ that I forgot to keep the camera out! OOPS~ But here are a few pics of us getting that new tree in our yard & some of the events of the day...


Bridgette found a new bug for her Bug Barn...
I love this kid... She LOVES being outside! Gardening is in her blood ~ Her Daddy is a Farmer and let's not forget about GGMA'S Green Thumb!!!

Bridgette & Me


Here is Bridgette and her Daddy planting our new Apricot tree, We can't wait to see (and eat) all of those yummy arpicots!



I know it won't be long until this tree is big enough for her to climb, and lay in its shade, and eat its fruit... I know it won't be long until she planting a tree with her little one and I am going to treasure EVERY moment from now until then....Lord knows how fast they grow... Oh, please make it slow down... Funny how these "little" things that seem so uneventful can really make you slow down and think how those are the things that matter MOST!
