For months this is what a typical harvest was for us from our community garden lots of cucumbers, zucchini and squash. We went again the other night and this is all that we got...
Rotten, never grew onions, carrots and pumpkins. Our watermelons didn't grow and all of our tomatoes and peppers died early on. We had one harvest of corn on the cob but that is all dead now too. It's a shame because what happened is that a lot of people in the community garden never pulled their weeds or harvested their crops so the irrigation water didn't reach a lot of us gardens further down the line thus ours all died.
You can see the actual size of this carrot next to my finger. At least we did harvest something and next year we'll have our own garden in our back yard. :o) Great experience over all and taught the kids some great garden work ethics. :o) Thanks to the farmer that let our entire community utilize his land and watered it for us. 
So back in June we had a weekend get-a-way in Sedona thanks to our wonderful friends the Amador's who not only offered us the use of their timeshare but also offered to babysit our children for the weekend. What amazing friends they are!!! We haven't left the kids over night in 6 and a half years and that was for my class reunion where they stayed with my Mom. :o)
This is the light to turn to the resort where we stayed at. Look at these beautiful mountains.
This was our actual condo equipped with a kitchen, living room, large balcony, master suite with a huge jacuzzi tub, table and chairs dining area, a second bathroom, laundry room and then a second bedroom with 2 queen beds. It was very nice and relaxing.
Although Will had to bring his lap top and continue working mostly Saturday we still enjoyed two great date nights out on the town of Sedona and the most romantic dinner ever Friday night. We went to an Italian restaurant and luckily for us they thought we were honeymooners and seated us in a really awesome location without reservations. They had rose petals all over the table, candle light, soft music, very private area we could have even closed the curtain area for more privacy, the restaurant was neat old world Italian decorating with wonderful paintings light just right, great service and the food was excellent!! We felt a bit under dressed but were treated like royalty. I wished I would have brought the camera because I would like to remember that dinner for the rest of my life.
Although I didn't take any pictures of the sunset it was gorgeous! (not sure who these 2 guys are but I liked the background Mountain)

I had no idea that I was actually 6 weeks pregnant at that time. It's funny now because my Dr. Pepper didn't taste good, I only took one bite of my candy bar, didn't want dessert at either of the two great restaurants we ate at (not like me at all), was extremely tired, gagged every time I brushed my teeth and the list goes on. I've thought I was pregnant so many times that it honestly didn't cross my mind this time because it's always a heartache when I'm not year after year. I chalked it up to over working, not sleeping enough and just being run down. :o) I'm so glad it wasn't a cold or virus and I'm still waiting for the tiredness, nausea and gagging to stop. Thank you Heavenly Father and thanks to Amador's who let us have a great time with peace of mind that our kids were in good hands.
