Todd has been playing on a mens soccer league for the past month or so and he usually comes off the field with scrapes and bruises! I thought this one was especially cool..
Good ol' Soocer :)
I loved you yesterday, I love you still, I always have, and I always will.
"Ya'll watch out for Gators.."
So, rumor has it that there are alligators in the Virgin River. I never heard this rumor until just the other day when Todd told me after we heard some very suspicious noises at a park.. (dun dun dun)
We decided to go t
o a park one night to get out of the house and explore. When we got there, we discovered a pile of long wooden poles that were pointy on one end. Suspicious right? So I took a picture of Todd holding one like he was going into battle.
The park was surrounded by a wet, marsh land (as many parks down here are surprisingly). We think it was a branch off of the Virgin River. We were walking by the edge of the water watching a hummingbird buzz through the shrubbery, discussing ways in which we could catch it to take it home and make it drink from our hummingbird feeder (if you've read this blog before you know we're been having a rough time with the hummingbirds.. ha ha). As we were standing there, all of a sudden we heard this huge splash come from the river and grass was being pushed everywhere. My first thought, was "oh maybe a bunny is playing in the water" but I thought that was sorta strange.. so th
en I said to Todd, "I bet it was a Gator!!". (You see, I've been watching way too many episodes of Billy The Exterminator and gators have been on my mind a lot lately..) That was when Todd told me that there is a rumor about there being alligators in the Virgin River.
I'm sad to say that we didn't see an actual Gator, but it'd sure be cool if we did! I bet those pointy poles we found are gator skewers! I fear for those ducks we saw landing on the river.. If there really are gators out there runnin' a muck, those ducks might be their next dinner!

I dare say Todd and I should be farmers. Our favorite activity for the last month has been planting things and watching them grow. Sounds exciting right?! Well.. it is for us! ha ha. About a month ago, we decid
ed to plant strawberries! We found this cool "strawberry kit" that came with soil, a hanging pot, and seeds. We just couldn't leave the store without it. So, we went home and planted our little seeds! After about a month of growing, we are happy to report that we have cute little plants that are half an inch high (..maybe smaller..). We thought that growing 
strawberries would be quick and exciting... but actually its similar to watching turtles stampede through peanut butter. Nonetheless, we love our little plants.
Strawberries weren't enough entertainment for us, so we wanted to get planting pots and plant flowers to put on our patio. When we went to visit family thi
s last weekend, my parents gave us some planting pots they weren't using (thanks mama and papa!). We brought them home, filled them with planting soil and planted pretty flowers! I was so excited! Oh, and we put up a hummingbird feeder. Within seconds of hanging the feeder, a hummingbird came zipping on up to it and it scared us. We both screamed (of course) and the bird quickly flew away. I think we scared it and it told its friends not to come to our house because we haven't seen a single hummingbird since. Serves us right for being chickens I guess..
