Jeff and his Jalapenos!!!

Since today is fathers day I thought I would share with you what Jeff is having for dinner.... 

Jalapenos stuffed with shrimp, cream cheese, onions and taco seasoning.  I really do not know how his belly can take his pepper addiction.  Some nights he ruins his dinner with a pepper that is too hot.  Cracks me up!!!


Love you babe!  Thanks for being such a great dad to our son.

Until Next Time....

Garden/Boswell Update

Starting to feel like summer around here.  We have been doing some fishing, Jeff took his float tube to fish on the side of the freeway and caught 1 bass.  He really loves the float tube.  Baseball is in full swing.  William is doing great.  Bit of a ball hog but he makes some really great plays and its hard to talk to him about his ball hogging.  And I go where my boys go.  Its a good life!

The garden is growing!!!  I am really excited about the bean stock.  We watered this morning and by this afternoon the bean plants have grown an inch.  Cant wait to see them climbing the stock. The rain gutter planter has several spinach and lettuce starts and the herbs are maintaining well.  The rain gutter is really great for the herbs since they do not need large root beds.  Glad we tried this.


We covered the garden with our grass clippings, Jeff read that it will help hold the moisture in and keep the weeds down.  We'll see how it grows.  


I received my 1st Clean Eating magazine this week and I have to tell you I LOVE it.  Big thanks to my Grain Girl friend Amy.  What is Clean Eating???  Here is their definition: The soul of clean eating is consuming food in it most natural state, or as close to it as possible.  It is not a diet; its a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation, leading to an improved life - one meal at a time.  Clean foods contain just one or two ingredients.  Any product with a long ingredient list is human-made and not considered clean.  Cant wait to try some of the meal ideas in here.


Thats todays update.  Hope all of you are well.




How great is this, our pole beans grew an inch in one day.


I feel like ther is room that is not being used.  I'm going to talk Jeff into more plants this week.


Check out our bell pepper.



Broccoli and Cauliflower are growing great.

Jeff and the not so giant bean stock!

So we finally had some really nice days here in Utah.  Days in which if we shave our heads and leave the house without sunscreen you will get burned!  Just ask Jeff.
Garden Update:
With all the rains that we had we lost a few of our plants.  Whats a gardener to do you ask???  No biggie, William and I ran to Walmart and got some more.  So everything we had lost has been replaced and the rest of the garden is doing well.  Thanks for asking.
Here is the latest... in Jeff's favorite new book, Vegetable Gardening for Dummies (which I have no reason to read) he found the chapter on beans.   He is at work right now and I cant remember exactly what type of beans he planted but I am thinking they were string beans.  The book said that they grow up poles so Jeff put a wood pole in the garden.  I am pretty excited to see these and my rain gutter spinach grow.   

On a healthy note, the Boswell3 have been working really hard to cut out carbs in the evening and we have been loading up on veggies. I think one of our favorite dinners is a salad, grilled chicken with lemon pepper and grilled asparagus.  From being around some of our family members and friends with kids it is clear that William is a great eater.  He eats everything.  Like his dad he likes peppers hot off the grill (not jalapenos) and eats all veggies.  What a blessing William is! 

Until Next Time....
