We moved into a bigger apartment in April, and we can have pets! So we got a couple kittens in May. Roger is the white kitten. He was up at Jeff's parents, having a hard time with an eye and respiratory infection. So we took him home to get him better. I got Lucy, the tortoiseshell, a few days later to keep Roger company. They have been fun to have around, except when they wake you up at 3 am, or when they pee on the carpet or bed. They haven't had any accidents lately though, so we hope that's over.

| Roger up at Jeff's parents' place the night we brought him up. He's so tiny! |

Lucy's first day. She was rather wide-eyed and skittish for a couple days.
She wasn't sure about Roger, but they are friends now. |
 |
Trying to decide if she dares go near Roger.
These are current pictures of Roger & Lucy. They have at least tripled or quadrupled in size.

The kittens really like this empty Ramen box. They will lie on top of it,
go inside it, or stuff the other kitten inside :) |
 |
I don't know if Roger wants in, or if he wants to keep Lucy inside...
When they were littler, they both fit inside. Not so much anymore. |

| Lucy sleeping. She's gotten more orange as she's gotten bigger. |

For July Fourth, we went to the show at Utah State. Kansas was this year's band! They were a fun band to listen to. We've had good bands the last two years; we'll have to see who comes next year!
Our apartment complex has a community garden where we can rent plots for the summer. We planted the first week of June, which is supposed to be the safe time to plant. We had a few cold nights a couple weeks after we planted, and one tomato plant didn't do too well. So we moved it to a pot on our porch, and planted a new one. Most of these pictures are from two weeks ago, need to take new ones, because everything is much bigger now.

Corn and cucumbers. Jeff is particularly excited for these. Most of the
corn is taller than me now, and you can't even see the ground under the
cucumber plants. |
 |
| Peas! They are very tasty. We have been able to eat some this week. |
 |
Our three tomato plants. They they are also a lot bigger now, and have
several more tomatoes. One is even orange now! |
 |
Our first cucumber flowers! We have a ton now, and are seeing several
small cucumbers. |
 |
A cucumber! I took this picture a couple days ago. It's the size of my
pinkie, about 2 inches long. We just hope the weather will cooperate
and give us time for the cucumbers to ripen. |
