June Flowers

We had some much needed rain yesterday. I almost had to water my garden! It was quite the loud thunder storm over our heads and it dropped some 1.5 inch hail and threatened a tornado in the city northeast of us. Thankfully we missed out on the tornado and the hail, but after the storm we were left with some amazing light and I was able to catch a few shots of the flowers on my front porch and the beautiful full rainbow outside. It was the first time Rebekah saw a rainbow in real life and she was amazed.

These flowers are called hibiscus. I just love their shape and large size. Sadly, they don't smell like anything, but they come in a lot of different colors. I have 6 hibiscus bushes in my front yard and each bush has it's own distinctive bloom. I love to look at them. Rebekah loves to pick them off the bushes!

This is the cutest little palm tree. It is in our next door neighbor's yard. Dustin wants to put some palms in our yard too, but we haven't figured out which variety or where to put them just yet.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
