This Is Us

  I am so happy it's spring.  I love all the beautiful flowers and colors.  It's wonderful.  So here are a few spring flowers for you to enjoy.

It's starting to get warmer!  I am so excited for the warm weather.  It was so nice today that we spent some time out in our front yard! For Mother's Day last year, I got  This Patio Set .  I wanted one so we could sit in the front yard and have some shade. It was so nice to be able to sit in the front yard and watch my kids play.

  Today we got another small snowstorm.  I am so thankful for the moisture.  It is filling up our lakes and giving us the water we need.  I know that come summer we are going to be wishing we had this moisture. It's just that by this time of year I am so ready for spring weather and can't wait for lots of sunshine and warmth. Here are a couple pictures of the little snow storm we got.

  Today is the first day of spring.  Yay!!!  I am so happy to have spring here.  Now, that doesn't mean we won't be getting anymore snow.  Utah is known for having snow clear until April, sometimes even in May.  But... for the most part we can start planting our garden and getting our seedlings going inside to plant outside after our last frost (which is in April this year!). For our photo challenge today it’s signs of spring. Well, I woke up today to rain. Lots and lots of rain. I am so grateful for the rain. I was just hoping today would be sunny and a little warmer. Although spring usually brings lots of rain. Lol! But, it might be sunny later today! Anyway… Here are the signs of spring around here...

  I am so excited for spring and summer. I’m doing my best to enjoy winter, snow, breath in the cool air, have the fun light from the fireplace going, the heater on, cuddle in blankets, but I am missing spring and summer! How about you? So here are a few pictures to get us through…

  I try to find joy in all the seasons.  I love being able to live in Utah where we get snow, rain, sun, fall colors, and the excitement of new beginnings.  I enjoy the different smell in the air that each season brings. The sun is shining today, and I am so excited for the spring.  So, I wanted to share some of our spring flowers...

  I just realized I never shared the photos I took of the kids at Easter. Since we moved into this house, I have taken pictures of the kids in our front yard. I love it because of all the spring flowers in bloom. The last year or two we've had the pond and it looks so good (at least to me). Last year Brichette had Rooben, so he's in them too.  He was so good about sitting or lying and staying put while I took the pictures. So, without further ado... Here they are:
