Bring on Spring!!!

It has been a long and cold winter this year and we anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring weather. Yes, I know it is officially spring but the weather outside would fool you into thinking otherwise. I'm thankful there's none of that fluffy white stuff on the ground outside, but the sun needs to be working a little harder. I just don't care for the cold weather and I  feel like I am in hibernation mode almost 5-6 months of the year. The kids are ready to be outside as well and they are anxious to play on their trampoline and swing set. We have had a little fun in the snow this year especially when the BIG snow storm hit a month or so ago. Here are just a few pics I have take over the past couple of months.


Little Beckham wishing he could be like big brother and sister and play in the snow.


The Big Winter storm 2011, the kids loved playing in the snow. It ended up being a snow day for dad.
I haven't seen so much snow since I was a kid in Canada. The winds were so high during the blizzard that our front siding actually damaged. It also took about 2-3 hrs just to shovel the driveway/side walk


Jason took a day off work and we decided to beat the winter blues by heading to bounce town!

Funny Story:
Last week Tristen brought home from school a little flower pot w/ seeds in it. She was excited to see what would grow in her little flower pot...note: she has been begging us to plant flowers with her for a while now... Well she watered her little flower pot for the first time and 30 mins later look what she found!! Yes, she was BEYOND excited when she saw her flower..ok I put one of the flowers Jason bought me in her flower pot. Yes, I always kill flowers/plants and I couldn't even grow a chia pet, so I wanted her to at least feel she could grow something :)  If the "sprouts" or whatever she is actually growing in her flower pot actually GROWS then double BONUS!!!  :)
