It Might As Well Be Spring





Look what I have poking out of the ground in front of my house!!! Well, besides weeds. It's my bulbs. I absolutely love this time of year. Today our weather was in the 60's. The sun was out for most of the day and it just made me feel "light." I have daffodils and tulips and crocuses making appearances all over my flowerbeds. I am excited for them to bloom and fill my yard with color. The nice weather even meant we could finally get the Christmas lights down. Woo hoo!! We are no longer the trashy house on the street!

My mom and sister came up today to hang out before my mom had to go back home and return to her regularly scheduled life. It was fun to see them. She brought the girls little Spring goodie bags. The girls were in heaven with their flower headbands, bubbles, and colorful socks. Both girls insisted on wearing the socks to bed.

Tomorrow I 'get' to sing in church. It's been a while since I have sung in sacrament meeting. When I was in charge of choosing the music I never scheduled myself. I will be singing "Consider the Lilies." Unfortunately I can't find my solo arrangement, so I have to sing the choral version -- meaning I have to sing a high G. Here's hoping I don't get the cold the girls are coming down with.

And because I can't seem to get enough of my little guy, here's a darling picture I got today. I love his rosy little cheeks and his "just woke up" expression.

Jaren is so darling!!! So were do you find "slim" jeans for little girls? Phoebe really needs them.

Isn't it exciting to see signs of Spring?! We have bulbs coming up too. Yesterday Zachary was outside with Todd and said "Daddy, look, we have beans growing in our yard!" as he took Todd's hand to go show him. It was super sweet. Todd had to explain that they were going to be flowers. Love the picture of Jaren :) You need to bring him over again for another photo shoot!
