Spring Catch Up

It's too windy to be outside, so I'll take a minute to catch up!

The cats like the warmer weather because then we are all outside more and then they think they are supposed to come "help" me.

The time of year for dandelion bouquets... and we have lots of dandelions to choose from. 😋

Aidan and Ella reading the "child questions"

The kids singing

The next weekend was our Pesach (Passover) celebration and one of the activities was the lost tribes discus golf (or miniature golf) the kids (and adults) loved it and had lots of fun. 

Got some cousin time with Sienna and Jordynne during the weekend! 

Sunday afternoon, we went on a family walk to spend time with Cary who was going to be leaving us for a week.😢😉

The first few days that Cary was gone, the kids were still on Spring Break, but thankfully the weather was nice, so we spent a lot of time outside.

They even helped with yard work. (Their idea! Promise) 😃

After the rain, it was so pretty

Clara usually makes her way into our bed lately, and I can't stop her because she's usually so quiet she doesn't wake me up, but while Cary was gone, Britton started sleeping with us too. He's not so quiet or peaceful. 😏

The cats have figured out how to get on Kenneth's roof. 😀

Bookmobile day!

The rest of March 2017

We have to drive to Cedar City every six weeks or so for Aidan's orthodontist appointments,  Cary comes (and on this trip, Clara came too) and we make it a "date day". Ha. 😁

I could really go for some of those Nachos right now...

Aidan likes supporting Dr. Webster by wearing the t-shirts they give him to his appointments. 😆

 Snacks with the cats, outside.

The kids (especially Ella and Britton) like to help Kara and Jenna feed the calves on Sunday mornings. This particular day, they had all the kids, and then took them to Petra for the day. Yippeee! 😉

Snow Belle sure is a pretty cat, but she's a stinker! She's definitely gotten more friendly though.

My daffodils didn't bloom at all last year, so this was a welcome sight!

The Forsythia. I've been waiting a couple years for it to bloom. I'm pretty disappointed in this bush though, and I'm considering pulling it out. 

The way the weather has been this spring all the apricot and peach blooms (as well as redbud, etc) were frozen. I found this one, but I'm guessing it didn't make it through the subsequent storms.

My plum tree did bloom though and is still going strong.

I know I have more flower pictures, but I'm too lazy to upload them, and it would mean that I wouldn't blog for a few more weeks. 😀

House remodel is still going on along with everything else, it's hard to not get too overwhelmed with how busy life gets this time of year!
