Show off!!!!

Now this is just down right bragging...
From: Tamara White
I was just looking at my tomato plant and I have a baby tomato ... I win I grew one before you.

A close up of dad's pepper plant

If you look real close, you can see two more peppers.
 Gonna be a bumper crop this year.  Tamie says,
"He is making pepper steak for dinner I am trying to talk him into picking one and add it to his dinner."

Grandma and Grandpa spoiling their Great Grand Daughter.

I am taking this from Tif and Daniel's blog mendezstuff.blogspot.com
"Today Daniel and I picked up grandma and grandpa and took them to Babies R Us! They were set on buying us a crib. We left, had purchased a crib, a dresser and a stroller car seat combo! They really spoiled us today! :)"
Here is the crib that everyone agreed upon.

Matching dresser. As you know every little girl needs a lot of drawers for her clothes.

Choosing is so difficult
Which one is the perfect one?
It was exhausting for "Daddy Daniel" and "Great Grandpa" trying to find the best crib
The baby crib will become a toddler bed and then a regular bed as the baby grows.  Smart move on her mom and dad's (Tif and Daniel) part, don't you think?

Hmmm... where is great grand-daughter's mom and grandmother at?  Probably looking at the baby clothes, toys, and other stuff.

The green thumb competition has more entries...

Since I posted my green thumb, Tiffany's green thumb, and dad's green thumb, Tamie has now sent me photos of her "farm". The green thumb competition is definitely going strong.

Here is a picture of her tomato plant.
 
She even have blooms on her pepper plants.

The battle of the roses continues

Here is a picture of dad's roses in his backyard.  He has two pots with tea roses and they are just taking off this year.

Dad wanted to play a trick on Tamie.

Dad asked me to bring him some fake flowers to put in his flower garden since Tamie is always taking pictures of his flowers.  Well yesterday evening, Tamie kept asking dad if she could pick them and bring them in for mom and dad kept saying no, no. Then Pam from across the street came over and tried to pick one of the "flowers".  As she tried to break off one of the "flowers", the entire bunch came up and she was freaking out thinking that she had pulled the "flowers" out of the ground by the roots. Then she realized that they were fake and everyone had a good laugh over it.
Fake or real?

Battle of the flowers...

And you thought the only thing we grow here is cactus...
We've been keeping track of dad's flowers that he has growing in front of his house and the "farm" he has in the backyard.  Then Tiffany started showing off her flowers, now I decided that I have to start showing off mine. I've posted pictures of dad's purple flowers in the front in previous postings, but here's some photos of his "farm" in the back.

This started out as an almost dead $1.50 tomato plant. Now look at it.

Here is his "farm".  These are his other tomato plants as well as his pepper plant

Here are some photos of Tiffany's green thumb...



Now for my pictures of my green thumb. I know, I'm bragging.

These are my peach and pink colored roses that are on the side of the house in the backyard

Here is my yellow rose bush along the back wall

My tomato plant (a little puny right now, but give it time)
These are my herb plants.  I can't remember what they are, but  they're pretty. :-)
OK, now it's Tamie's turn.  Where's your pictures Tamie?
