{little potted garden again later.....}

I made sure to take them on vacation with me so I wouldn't kill them again.

{ARIA!!!!!!!!!!}

I wish I had a before picture for this one. It's hilarious! Notice the flowers behind the card. I put these together. When Grandma Julie was here, she bought me some flowers that were lovely! Right after they left we had to go to St. George for a family reunion. So I took my Potted flowers with me to keep them alive. On the way back we had them sitting on the back seat next to Aria. We were traveling in the dark so we couldn't necessarily tell what was going on. When we got home we opened the door and the light turned on. Aria was covered in pink petals, some of which were in her mouth! The entire center section of my potted flowers was destroyed, or rather missing. In my attempts to find out if this flower was poisonous, I noted that they said it was a good cutting flower because it had strong stems. So I thought, it won't last as long, but at least it will look decent on display. So here you are... My little arrangement, that I think is adorable and reminds me of my trouble maker Aria every time I see it.

When Nate had spring break we decided to spend some time in St. George. We intended on being there for 5 days. Just a tad long for plants to go without watering, but not long enough to ask someone to come water it. Anyway, we ended up staying for nine days. We forgot about them, and we came back and they looked like this.... I was SOOOO sad. but, Nate let me go get some new seeds to plant. They weren't quite the same plants, but I got to put in some herbs so that made me happy! The only problem is, now I have to start all over again.... Here's my sad sad sad looking plants.

I think all of the plants have at least sprouted. It is so fun to see the green poke through!

Grandma Pettit gave us these little flower pots when we went down for Laura's wedding. It's been fun to see the little green sprouts coming up... Here's what they look like now.They've been growing for about 5 days now.
