Hope renewed...

I thought all that I would have of my bleeding heart I planted last year would be the label still stuck in the dirt, but if finally showed it's head this past weekend. Hope it makes it!

Spring!

My rhubarb is up! I hope this produces enough for a pie this year. :-)

Spring flowers

Progress on the kitchen floor!

Daddy's little helper!!!

Come on, get in there! :-) This is harder than it looks! I'm so proud of my honey and the good job he is doing. Thanks for putting up with me, honey!

Latest kitchen addition

My shelf is up! Now I get to see my pretties I've collected over the past several years when I was just dreaming of my shelf. :-) Corey and the neighbor man (Mr. John Deere himself) did a right nice job on it. We bought the board from him since he's a woodmaker and knows his wood. Then he sanded it, routed the edge and after we stained it, he sprayed the finish on it. Very nice!

Last snow! (I hope!)

The cold blew in yesterday afternoon and this morning the ground was covered in white! It was pretty and the only reason I can enjoy it in the slightest is that it is supposed to be warm on Monday! :-)

Can't use this until it gets a little wamer! Can't wait!

My daffodils were already up...now they're covered in white!

A welcome sight...our neighbor and his John Deere.

Special visitors!

Special treat!

A friend of mine makes cakes and I was the lucky recipient of her services in our holiday service exchange this past December. So today was the day and this is what she made! Isn't it lovely? She MADE the morning glory flowers herself. One of my favorite flowers. The cake is chocolate and the frosting cream cheese, so it should taste good, too! Want a bite? :-)

Race Day at the Museum!

This was so fun! The boys got to sit in a real race car, do a computer race game inside a race car, meet some real race car drivers and test their skill in the pits. Vroom! Vroom!

Cookie baking!

We needed cookies, the boys needed something to do...so we baked snickerdoodles! They did a great job helping...T got the balls of dough ready and L dipped them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. They're almost gone already!
Yum! Yum!

Roll, roll, roll the dough!

Hey, we can learn multiplication with the cookies on the baking sheet!

The hand-off!

The taste testers! :-) They passed!

The kitchen is painted!

Ok...here are the pics of the newly painted kitchen. As you can see, the yellow looks different in different light. It's kind a mix between the two. But I guess what matters most is: I like it. :-) And I can't wait to hang stuff on it and put up a curtain, etc. Come see it for yourself!

Spring has sprung!
