My how our Garden Grows

Labor Day weekend we took our boat out for the last run of the season... sadly it was our first and last :( We had been busy this summer and didn't get a chance until then. Jordanelle was a little on the chilly side in the morning.
Elaina was the first brave soul to jump in the water.... or rather ease her way in. We're still debating if it's better to just jump.The cold water didn't seem to affect her as she popped right out on her first try.
Then it was my turn to ease in....
The temperature really wasn't bad after you were used to it, but when you haven't done this all season you get exhausted quickly and I took a little break ;)
Jacob got to try out his kneeboard for the first time. As you can see he's a real water cowboy.
What's a good run if it doesn't end like this....And then of course our own little pro...
I really love watching him do his tricks.

All in all it was a very successful day. We had lots of fun, it warmed up nicely and I NEVER got my head wet!!

Now onto the Garden!!
These are some of the amazing flowers in our backyard and I just love how they've blossomed this year.
But what has really taken off are our PEPPERS! We feel pretty lucky that from seeds we have come up with this...
Our Anaheims are delicious and plentiful
And our bells have turned out better than we thought.
What Alex is really thrilled about are our jalapenos. We've had great success with them. Some more hot than others but all together we feel very lucky to go out back whenever we please to add something we've grown to our meal.
This Anaheim was cut up and added to our lunch this afternoon :)

Tonight was our Relief Society Friday Frenzy.
I chose a domestic art project and I actually feel very pleased at how it turned out. Not just because it's green but it's Halloween! I love October and everything about it. Fall, Oktoberfest, Halloween, General Conference, etc. I can't wait!
