Spring time!!!

Spring is here! Sun, rain, sun, rain...and we love it! We've been busy around here doing yard work, planting flowers, spending Saturday mornings at the baseball fields and just being outside as much as possible. We've also had a few bbq's already and our first fire of the season where we made smores too...so much fun!

Duane had the lawn aerated a couple weeks ago and has been busy fertilizing, sanding and seeding the lawn. I think growing up in Lynden has rubbed off on him more than he realizes :) We WILL have the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood according to him! I love it! He's also been coaching his nephew's baseball team when he can make it, so the past couple of Saturdays we've been out there. Abbey loves going and seeing everyone.

While he's been busy with the lawn, I've been busy in the flower beds...one of my favorite things! I spent $70 more dollars at VanWingerdens the other day on flowers and bushes and got them all planted. We also planted a bunch of Dahlia bulbs (from Trisha) and a tomato plant (from Tammy and Zach), which are new this year. We'll see how they do :)

Abbey got a new watering can and has been my BIG helper planting and watering all of the new flowers. She loves it and it gives her something constructive to do. She's also been enjoying her big girl bike...she's pretty good on it! She is outside whenever she can!

Ella cut her two top teeth this past week or so, so that is new and she is also a HUGE outdoor lover! Anytime the garage door opens she crawls to the door (like a puppy) and waits for someone to open it. She kicks her legs and smiles when we take her out...SO happy! She wasn't sure about the grass at first, and would shudder when she touched it, but now she is crawling all over it, and getting dirty! We also put the baby swing up on the swing set, so she's been loving swinging with her sister! They laugh at each other and scream...lot's of fun!

Well, that's the update on us! Wishing you all a HAPPY SPRING too!
