Spring in Colorado

This spring has been unusually warm. March is usually our snowiest month, but this year we had the driest, warmest march ever on record for Colorado! As much as I love snow, it has made things fun!

Lucas bought a bike and I fixed up my old bike from when I was about 10 (yes, I can use the same bike because I haven't grown!) We have had a lot of fun riding our bikes around the neighborhood and exploring. We also like to ride to the tennis courts and play a little. We are not very good at tennis, but we have fun with it!

We are attempting a vegetable garden this year. We got the indoor garden starter and are surprised by how fast they are growing. We need to get them into the ground, but you never know if you will get another freeze when you live in Colorado. Gardening is a learn as we go experience for us. This year we are attempting to grow tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, broccoli, snap peas, butternut squash, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. We will see how they turn out!

Easter was fun this year, especially because we didn't have to do a holiday marathon like we did on Christmas... my parents came to Lucas's parents' house and we all did Easter together! It was fun to visit with everyone, have a feast of yummy food, and watch the kids hunt for eggs.

I have been having fun with new sewing projects. I never knew how much I would like to sew. I think it is because I love to create! That is why I love to paint, take pictures, cook, and make things. There is just something about creating that I love. It is an accomplishment and you get to put your own touch on it to make it one of a kind.

Lucas has begun "project: remove the massive bushes that take over our back yard." It will be a long process, but we are anxious to have them gone and have more space back there.
