Spring is coming!

Me
I'm SO excited! A few quick pics, to catch up~ My favorite Librarian Books, Thanks Ryan for being my library friend! Play Date~ This is what happens when you don't put on their shoes for them... Aiden got SO excited when I said we were going to the park that he ran straight out the door without his shoes... Finally he got his shoes on, but no socks... Oh well, at least the mud wasn't IN the shoes. Jared training his nephews in the art of climbing trees, good thing there weren't any close that had branches close enough to the ground for them to climb, whew! My buddy! If you look at his ring and pinky fingers on his right hand you can see where they got smashed in…

He did rather well, and loved to share the time with his Grandma Karen, and it was wonderful to involve him in a "grown-up" activity, as well as a relief to not have to worry about the younger kids.

Family Heirlooms

Me
OK, you're probably tired of this portrait session already, but this is special to our family. This sweater was knit for my husband Kevin as a baby almost 30 years ago by his Grandma Bonnie.  Each of our boys have worn it, I wish I could find pics of the other boys in it, I know they're here, somewhere, but not at my fingertips now...  Now I thought it was lost in the move, and I felt horrible, I couldn't remember how big it was. and thought it was probably going to be too small by next fall, as you can tell by the way it floods him that is not the case.

Six more weeks of winter, predicts groundhog Punxsutawney Phil I'm DONE with winter.  DONE.  Sure it's my first time dealing with real winter for more than a week at a time in 6 years, but please! Hahaha!  I've done my time with unbearably hot summers, so it should work out.  This next summer had ought to be mild with lots of rain.  I may just cry if not. Haha, had to add this.  Utah's "Groundhog." Never Mind the Groundhog, How About the Prairie Dog?
