Rose Dr Spring Garden

My mom has been working hard with me for the past 3 months to create a beautiful backyard garden for my Morgan home.  She helped me kill lots of grass, create an artistic garden bed across the yard, prep and plant lots and lots of beautiful flowers, bushes, trees, and veggies.  She even found a very fun face for the maple tree to add a bit of whimsy to the yard.  We weeded, mulched, and planted for hours and hours.  The result is a very beautiful garden that feels so peaceful and beautiful.  I can't wait to see how it fills in and grows over the coming years.  This has been such a wonderful project to do with my ever talented mother.

Daddy's favorite, peonies.  I think he pushed these to bloom early from Heaven so I could take him a few for Memorial Day.  

So I did.  :) 

I think columbines must be one of my mom's favorite flowers because she could hardly bring some over from her beautiful yard and plant them in mine fast enough.  What a beautiful mountain flower made all the more beautiful because it came from my mom's yard. 

I guess after all of that hard work over many months mother nature decided to bless us with a cool double rainbow right over our house.  :)

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!
