garden fever!

I have garden fever! I just can't wait to get my hands dirty and grow something. The only problem is, we aren't allowed to have a garden here so I thought maybe I could try one or both of these. Here's the link for the vertical garden: http://www.instructables.com/id/VERTICAL-VEGETABLES-quotGrow-upquot-in-a-smal/

We have plenty of empty bins now that we cleaned out our garage so I may make the bin box too.http://earthtainer.tomatofest.com/

I can't wait!

3 months already?!

Dallas 3 month check.
Today I took Dal in for his 3 month check and shots. It breaks my heart to have to hold my babies down for those painful shots but I know they are for the best.
Here are his stats:
He weighs 12lbs 4oz
He is 23 3/4 inches long
and the Dr said he is above average for his neurological development.

Mason came with us and he was my big helper. He made sure and held Dallas' hand "so he could be safe" he told one nurse. I just love my boys!

P.S. the Doc said our little guy has a heart murmur and an abdominal hernia. She said he may grow out of the murmur but she wants to monitor him for a while and the hernia is okay as long as he doesn't get constipated and strain. other than that our little guy is just perfect.

Cleaning day!

Today was the big day! We finally cleaned and organized our garage! I have been looking forward to this day all winter. The kids sure got really dirty with all their bike riding and playing in the yard so I decided they really needed a bath. I called Jer's sister Jill to see if she thinks I could put our bumbo chair in the bath. Oh boy was that fun. Brooklyn had to hold Dallas steady while I washed him since he tried to float away. Over all it was a very good and productive day!

My bubble boy!

Mason was not happy to take a bath. Dallas is looking at him like "whats wrong Mason"?

Memories

I was just thinking about this post and it made me really excited for June!http://jeremiahsmithfamily.blogspot.com/2008/10/uncle-roberts-cabin.html

Its that time again!

Every year around this time I get this intense itch to switch things around. Some call it spring cleaning I feel like I'm just trying to make old things seem new. Anyway you call it, it sure helps me feel better. Now if i could only do this same thing with every room in my house. I would be a happy mommy.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I just love this holiday. Next to Christmas it is my favorite. After the kids woke up and saw their Easter baskets and hunted for eggs, we all sat down to watch conference. It seemed like today's talks were mainly on being better parents and doing our ancestry. All I can think of is how I need to do better. I want to be the mom who listens to her children and they know I am there for them. Its hard when the kids are so young to see the bigger picture sometimes. I know they won't be this way forever.

Yes, Brooklyn is wearing a cheetah shirt. She loves to dress up lately and this is what she has chosen to wear. She thinks it makes her run faster. Ha ha.
