Spring Teaser

We had a few teaser days of spring last week, and the temps were in the 50's!! The snow that covered the backyard finally, FINALLY melted, and our girl got to run around.. watch out for mud Lulu!

My daffodils and tulips are beginning to pop out of the ground... I am hoping to have enough blooms for a vase on our Easter table this year ;)  In the fall Lindsay and Madison had a blast helping me plant them, and it is their favorite thing to do before we get into the car; they run around to the side of the house and yell... "We're checking on our flowers, Mama!"

Here is the pile of leftover snow that melted a couple days after I took this picture. I think all my plants I planted last spring survived the snow...whew! Jarrett and the girls were picking up the twigs and branches the many storms knocked off into our yard. We only lost one large branch on the side yard, and thankfully it didn't do any damage.

We even busted out our GRILL and cooked some hot dogs one night, and chicken another! The girls love playing in the yard while Jarrett grills, and Lindsay told us "Take my picture in our tree!!" She is still quite a few years from being able to climb it by herself. We knew it was a special house because of that big old tree, and we envisioned our girls playing in and under it when we moved in. On another note, we are ready for all the leaves to come back. Our backyard was feeling rather exposed...LOL. Come'on spring, bring on the green and warm temps!!
