Spring is Here!!


 Spring has finally made its way to Northern Utah! Hurray! I am so very glad. It has snowed several times over the past month but it quickly melts, which I really like especially after having snow for feels like 6 long months! Mark and I are really enjoying living in Northern Utah for many reasons but the weather has been hard on us; especially, having grown up in Southern Utah where it is warm all the time.

On the good days when it warms up to around 70 degrees, I let my kids head for the back yard and play until their hearts are content!

The kids have loved the swing set we got them for Easter Last year and spend every waking moment they can swinging or sliding. They also love to ride their bikes! I have taught Kaleb how to swing high and then blast out of his seat and land on the grass. He thinks he is pretty awesome! Karmindy has been swinging herself since last fall and she is so cute to watch. She doesn't like to go very high but is getting more brave because she won't have her older brother outdoing her!! I love to watch her swing herself because she will take a few steps back and then launch herself forward. It is very cute!

Once There was a Snowman...

Spring weather in Northern Utah is extremely unpredictable. One day it can be sunny and warm and the next day it can be chilly and snowy. Several Saturdays ago we had such weather. When we woke up there was several inches of snow on the ground and since it was that good fluffy snow we bundled up the kids and Mark and the kids went right to work building their perfect snowman while I watched and took pictures. The kids were really proud of the snowman that they built with their dad! The next few days the remainder of the snow melted but our perfect snowman graced our front lawn for over a week!

My cute wee ones and their snowman!

My handsome men and their snowman!
