Lemons are WAY Underpriced, Church Basketball and BBQ in the Rain

I never realized how hard it is to grow lemons...until now. For the last 2 years our citrus trees have been completely unproductive. We have used Miracle Grow, but we still didn't get anything. The first and second years that we had our Mexican Lime trees, we got bunches of limes. What are we doing wrong? We only got 1 lemon this year...that is right, one. Ashley was the lucky one that got to pick it off the tree. It was sad to pick this lonely lemon that we have spent so many hours admiring. :( We are now trying to deep water as well as continue watering with our sprinklers (thanks to the tip from Derek Richey). If anyone has any other tips, please give them to me!!!

Our orange tree gave us 6 oranges this year. Alyssa was the lucky one that got to pick the last orange. I will say, these were the juiciest oranges I have ever eaten. I don't know if it is because we grow incredible oranges, or if we were just so proud of ourselves for growing fruit on our tree this year, that we would've loved them no matter how they tasted.

For church basketball this week, our new ward played the ward that we were just split from. Rob took a little heat for having his wife also cheering for the opposing team. This is all I got of Rob's free throw shots because of a noisy man on the other team distracting Rob (and I) during his shot. The man is pictured below this picture...Many of you may recognize him:) He kept yelling to Rob while he was trying to concentrate on his free throw, "Hey Rob, look at your wife...she is trying to take your picture!"...over and over again.
That's right...the noisy man was Pete Malo. I want to know why the ref didn't call a technical?!!!When it wasn't Pete distracting Rob, then it was our dentist, Eric...Come on guys! Don't you know I have a blog?!!! I have to take pictures of EVERYTHING!
In the end, our new ward lost big time to our old ward:( At least it was entertaining to watch!
Yesterday we decided to BBQ hamburgers before church. As soon as Rob fired up the grill, it began to rain and hail. I had to take this picture through the window in the kitchen because I thought he looked kind of silly barbecuing with an umbrella:) Whenever Rob makes his yummy hamburgers (and they are very yummy), he always makes an extra one in case "something happens". I have always laughed at the logic behind that, and maybe this is why yesterday was the first time he made only enough for each of us...no extras. Well, since it was raining, our newly stained and sealed sidewalk was very slippery. Rob sent Ashley (my 5 year old) in the house carrying my hamburger. As she was running in the house, she slipped on the wet sidewalk, and my yummy burger fell off the plate she was carrying, and landed on the wet sidewalk that was covered in bird droppings that had just washed off the roof due to all of the rain. (Anyone have any ideas on getting rid of birds?) Seriously, why my hamburger?!!! So, since we didn't have an extra one (the only time that we haven't), Rob and I had to share our "Sunday dinner" with each other. I imagine next time Rob will revert back to his old ways of always preparing for the unexpected. Lucky for me our meal was something that was "splittable" for my germaphobe husband!:)
