Spring Has Sprung!

My Tree is blooming!!

AND....my lilac bush too. I'm so glad that spring is finally here. It's been a long cold winter and it's very refreshing to see the sun, see new life blooming on the ground and with the trees. We have already started working in our flower beds. Cleaning out the old and dead and getting ready for the new and beautiful. It's a fun thing for our family to do,(most of the time) :). One other thing we have been doing to get ready is to start our garden. The girls were very excited to pick out their favorite veggies to plant. So while at the local hardware store we picked up our starter tray and veggies and herbs that we want to have in out garden this year. We also learned a lot last year, such as don't plant the pumpkins by the air conditioner compresser. The vines like to wrap themselves around the hoses and pull them out. We went a very long hot day without cool air. And in the process learned that we will be planting other things in that area this year.

Heidi and I were scrapbooking one morning. Jonathan and cousin Brielle were playing upstairs in Jonathans room. After a little while of it being "a little too quiet". We went up to check on them and this is what we found. They are too funny. And it's proof that thay CAN play together with out fighting over space and toys. :) What little cuties.
