My special Mother's Day

I'm so lucky! I get to be the mother of these sweet, handsome, fun little boys. Abram took us on a picnic in the mountains after church. We cooked tin foil dinners, McKay dragged the shovel all over the place, Elijah learned how to climb trees (and BOY can he CLIMB!!!) The boys LOVED it! We'll have to do that more often.

I don't know how they do it...

... but somehow they're getting even more adorable.

The start of their journey

I love my little plants so much! Steps 1 and 2 (3 weeks ago):

Then the amazing little sprouts (2 weeks ago):

And today!

Life is Good!

Our first Spring Walk

It finally warmed up enough (and the snow melted enough) that we got to go on a beautiful family walk yesterday. I love Spring! The kitties followed us the whole way. We all had such a nice time! Did I mention I LOVE SPRING!?

See, Mamma? Two boys!

That's what Elijah tells me many, many times each day. He loves to play with his little brother. And he loves to narrate each and every activity of his day. He is quite the little talker these days.

How we made it through February...

I don't think we'll have to find so much stuff to entertain us in March. In February, we had to do SOMETHING to survive the rest of winter. So we visited the new beautiful CAL Ranch store in Vernal, which was funded by Grand Valley Bank (the building was funded, not our shopping spree). Other amazing places of interest that you just shouldn't miss if you ever visit the lovely Uintah Basin: IFA, Stewart's Marketplace, and.... okay, that's all.


I'm also doing something new with my hair. Most people at church and stuff say, "Hey you cut your hair!" They don't notice that it's straight. But it's been a fun change for me.

After all the shopping, we spent most of our money on a knee surgery for Abram and a new wood stove. It will be a lot safer and more efficient than the beast of a wood stove that we have in now.
