(yes...yes...this is our ACTUAL tomato! Isn't she pretty! :) )WE GOT OUR FIRST RED TOMATO OF THE YEAR!!!! Now this might not be exciting for some of you, but it is for us! :) We tried a garden last year and just didn't put the work into it that we needed to. So we didn't get much. But this year, we had our garden boxes built, put in top soil, got things actually planted, we visit it every day (or most days), we weed, etc, etc. So.....we want some good stuff from it, right?! Well....we've had squash, zucchini, some peppers, peas, and string beans. And we have watched the tomato's growing. They just have stayed green. Well....on Saturday Brian went to the garden and found OUR FIRST RED TOMATO!!!! (I will say...I love everything we grow in our garden but tomato's are my FAVORITE thing to grow yourself and eat fresh. I think this is one that taste's TOTALLY different than what you can buy at stores.) We were so excited so of course had to document the experience. 
So here we are both taking our first bite. I love them plain, but for this first bite we had some cracker and cheese with it. Yum-Yum!
Yummmmy....it was delicious. This is all that was left after we finished. Brian even had fun with the top of the tomato. We got as much out of it as we could. We have a lot more green ones on the vine that should be ripe soon. Come visit us and we'll give you some! :)
A side note: while we were trying our tomato, Kylie had to have a popsa-popsa-Popsicle. 
So more documentation. HOW CUTE is she with a messy face?! :) 
I love this girl! :)

Kylie has the right idea; forget the tomato, go for the popsicle!
Also, I always wanted my wedding reception at a water park. I'm 97% jealous of your friend. Okay, 100%.
Yummy-looking tomato! I would choose that over a popsa-popsa-popsicle any day!
