Hi angel friends :) sunny greetings, from our garden :) my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a great day :) The summer birds are singing, and our plants are glowing from that wonderful summer sunshine :) This morning as i was getting ready to go outside for my early morning nature walk, i spotted a hummingbird right outside our front door, by our plants, and it was getting some nectar from one of the flowers :) it was such a cool, and neat nature sight :) all of our plants are doing awesome, and the sunflowers that were leaning a bit after the thunderstorm saturday night, are doing much better and are standing strong, and tall :) Lots of beautiful flowers blossoming all around, and many sweet nature, and gardening joys during these amazing times in the season :) 

my family and i want to take this time, to thank you all again, for celebrating the very special times we all shared, last week, and this past weekend, with the birthday celebrations, for Mikey, the triplets, Colby, Brayden, Jacob, and Taylynn :) it was a big week, and so many very special times, and great memories made, to always cherish, and treasure :) the birthday celebrations were rocking, and lots of great times being shared :) We felt your loving spirits with us in spirit, as we celebrated :) Taylynn had such a special fun time yesterday :) it was truly one of the most memorable days my family and i have had. :) There's a story behind the big day that happened yesterday for us, with the birthday gathering for Taylynn :) We're very happy :) We had been looking forward to celebrating, and we got word the other day, that both my sister Jenn, her family, and my brother Bobby, and his family were gonna be coming to the party, which is really huge :) 

about 5 years ago, there was a falling out, between Jenn and Bobby, around 2011. things were said between them, and they didn't talk to eachother for years. it was hard on us all, especially my mom, and us all during birthday's, or holidays. we felt sad about it, because we felt like all the kids, were missing out, on being able to be together, to meet eachother, and to be able to play together :) from birthday's, to holidays, it always felt like some of our family was missing from the celebrations. Lately when Jenn's been visiting us with the kids, my brother Bobby happened to stop by to bring us some extra goods/foods he had, and he and Jenn recently actually talked with eachother. my mom saw this as a good opportunity, to invite both Jenn, family, and Bobby and his family to the birthday party for Taylynn :) 

Yesterday, it was really neat, to see Jenn and her family arrive, and Bobby and his family arrive :) as we all gathered in our backyard, Jenn, Mikey, Hunter, Bobby, Stacy, Ryan, Miranda, and us all :) it was amazing!!! :) Mikey, Hunter, Colby, Brayden, and Jacob, got to meet Ryan and Miranda for the first time :) it was so nice, and Jenn and Bobby talked :) Jenn held Miranda for the first time, and Bobby was interacting with little Hunter! :) This was so cool! :) it meant an a lot, to my mom, us all, and it was so cool, and very special to see, all of the kids playing together :) We truly believe, these times will continue to happen :) Life is very special, and precious :) We all had such a great time celebrating Taylynn's birthday, and it was first time we all were together at a birthday party, since Mikey's 1st birthday, so it was extra special, and very cool :) i just wanted to share this story, and blessing with everyone here in my journal today :) There's always hope, and we're so happy now, that maybe during the holidays, and more birthday's, there will be more gathering's like yesterday :) 

Garden News! :) Our sunflowers, popcorn plants, and all of our plants are doing really well, as they continue to grow, and flourish with the season : )saturday night, we had a bad thunderstorm here. some of our planters in our front yard were tipped over. thankfully, the sunflower's stems didn't bend. the sunshine yesterday, and today has helped the sunflowers get their balance back, and they are doing really well :) our tallest sunflower, nearly 9 feet tall, is beginning to blossom :) It's wonderful to see the flowers, and also our popcorn plants are doing so well :) 

We have 2 popcorn cobs growing on each plant! :) This is incredible! :) i had no idea, the plants could grow like that :) i've been tending our plants, giving them lots of nice water nourishment :) The plants are very healthy, and happy :) It's wonderful to see how much the plants have grown :) i'm pumped up and excited! :) i've been seeing many birds, butterflies, and i also refilled our hummingbird feeders with nectar i made :) i boil water and sugar :) it's such a beautiful time in the season :) i've been picking string beans, tomatoes, and also looking forward to harvesting mammoth sunflower seeds soon :) i see some gray stripes on the sunflower seeds, it's a great sign the seeds are ripening :) i'm going to take pictures, and make a video when i harvest the sunflower seeds :) it's so beautiful outside today :) i love to see the nature glowing :) i've been making some garden tour videos on my youtube page :) i'd love to include one of my new videos here in my journal :)
