Fire Station Fun

We took Sam to visit the local fire station yesterday. He had a blast! The nice fire marshal showed us around. Sam got to crawl in all the fire trucks and even run the lights. I think we've solidified even further his love for anything fire fighter related. 

 

Big News Coming Soon!

It's never a dull moment at this Winkler house. Things have been changing in the last couple of weeks with our decision to build a house in Georgetown. Instead it looks like we will be moving a little deeper into Round Rock to be closer to Sam's school. We are praying about this house right now. We'll see!!!

Birthday Party Fun

Sam went to a birthday party this afternoon at an inflatable party place. I didn't know how he'd handle all the kids and inflatables. I think he liked it! In fact, he had a BLAST!!!

The pictures aren't great, but you can see the big slide that was his favorite. 

I see you!

I have found the first little cucumber on my tower garden! Once they start maturing, I am going to have a TON of cucumbers.  I couldn't grow tasty cucumbers on the farm. The soil turned them very bitter. So I'm hoping these will taste better. 

Back in the saddle

Sam loves his birthday scooter. About three weeks ago he fell down while standing on his scooter. After that, he wanted nothing to do with it. I'm happy to report that he is back in the saddle! 

Just call him Mr. Fix-It

It's so hot outside during the day right now. It's supposed to be above 100 for most of this week. Yuck! At least the 100s held off until almost the end of July.

In the evenings we play outside. We still sweat, but it's not as hot. Sam has started to enjoy walking his bunny. He's strapped into Sam's tricycle with another bunny in the front basket. Yesterday we took the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood and we were probably quite the sight. I had two dogs on two leashes going two different directions. Sam was pushing his stuffed bunny in his tricycle. We made it through the walk, but it wasn't pretty. 

Now Sam is doing maintenance on his trike. 

Tower Garden

Although we are no longer on the farm, I stil get to grow my favorite veggies! Jason bought me this tower garden for my birthday. Right now I'm growing cucumbers, basil, lettuce, and tomatoes. I already picked a bunch of lettuce. I can't wait until the cucumbers and tomatoes come in too!
