COME ON SPRING....

It's still pretty chilly most days, but little signs of Spring are literally poppin up everywhere!  We found chives already at least 4" tall, my calendula totally thriving and some kale reemerging from stocks we failed to pull at the end of last season.  Bulbs are also emerging all over our yard, which makes me particularly excited!  I always have something to say about Fall being my favorite time of the year... but I'd like to retract that! 

SPRING is way better... after being cold, usually cooped up indoors, and just ready to start enjoying the great outdoors... Spring would naturally have to be my favorite season!

The birds have really started chirpin in the morning and yesterday I actually had sun shinning on my dinning room table at breakfast time.  Things are turning from their icky winter colors to the bright vibrant colors of spring!  I love how everything comes back to life in Spring... I think we as people do to!

I'm excited to start working in the garden... with my two little helpers! We had thoughts of doing chickens, but have put those plans on hold... not knowing what the future holds for us it would be hard to commit "right now" So this summer we will be focusing on our garden, and plenty of camping and roadtrips!  We are hoping to see our beloved Cows soon... Lula and "Two"... wonder if Lula had her baby yet?

One of Mama's favorite signs of Spring!  Tons of bulbs (I didn't even have to plant) poppin up everywhere!

Can you see Colten in that tree.... it's his new thing!

Another sign of spring...  cleanin up the trees

Weeks of rain make this gorgeous day soooo worth it!

This has Spring written all over it... huh?!

My goofy child over there...

Does it get cuter?

Mmmm Tacos to go on our Mama & Boys date day!  No picture of my Cod Taco... as it was gone in a nano second!  OMG and it didn't seem to bother my reflux!!

Watchin the boats and munchin our scrumptious foods!

There's my little bikin buddy, wasn't able to get a shot of Ben on the back of my bike... bummer!  Taking pictures while riding a bike with a wiggly Ben on the back proved to be quite a challenge!

Do you smell something?...

He could almost keep up... "Look mom one hand" I heard him yell from behind me... wow we are getting quite confident aren't we!
 
Not somethin you see everyday... or do you?  If you live in town and walk the trail often you've seen this boat washed ashore for nearly a month now... poor guy!  We happened to be walking the trail the day after it happened, the guy on the beach in his chest waders trying to make a plan... that didn't involve an expensive fine or recovery requiring help from the marina.  Well there she still sits... 

Mama -"Colten are you gonna write somethin?"  Colten- "No this stick is silly it doesn't write"

Ben was happy as a clam!


Yep, mom was just diein for a shot of the shovel... Thanks for helpin me out Buddy!

Treasure hunting!

Ben inspecting his treasures... he was calling them puppies and then saying "Arrr Arrr" I was confused but it was hilarious non the less!

Colten's prized treasure!

I pretty much didn't even need to be there with Ben, he was in his own little world! My sweet little adventurer

Can't complain about those skys!

Ok ok we'll stay for 5 more minutes...

Ahh yes moments after tripping over his own feet and fallin...
 
What a fantastic time we had biking and beach combing! 
My favorite part would have to be my little Colten sayin Hello to everyone we passed.
 
But the fun didn't stop there we had a new movie to watch when we got home and a big bowl of popcorn... bummer Jeromy missed out on our fun...
 
This summer is going to be SOOO fun I can hardly wait!
