Garden

Our apartments have an area on one side of our buildings that is set up for gardens. It only costs $5 for a small lot, so we thought it would be fun to have a garden this year. We are going to plant some tomatoes but we have to keep them inside for a while before planting them outside. Landen helped me plant them a week ago.





Here is what the tomatoes look like now. Landen loves to look at them and help me take care of them. I am so excited to have a garden and to see the plants grow so quickly.

My projects

Here are a few projects I have finished recently. I just wanted to share them because I am proud of the work I've done. I first made a play blanket for Dade that has tabs on the ends of it, crinkly paper that I sewed inside, buttons and patches.


I am missing a patch still because I can't find another animal patch I like.


We decided we needed a place to put our keys, instead of just any place we find, and loosing them by doing so, so I painted a nice piece of wood and Drew put some hooks in it for a key holder.





My last project was for a lady Drew works with who is very sweet. It was her birthday so I made a scripture bag for her. Drew just gave it to her yesterday and she was so happy she kept crying. She called me to thank me and said she has never had one before and she would never use another one and would pass it on to her kids. That is the kind of lady she is.


The bag is reversible, with one pocket that I made in to three pencil holders and two bigger pockets.

Easter!!

Our Easter was a lot of fun. On Saturday we had an egg hunt in our court. Drew took Dade to find some eggs and he tried to put him down to get the eggs but since we had about 2 inches of snow Dade was not very happy, so this is what they did instead.







Landen had a lot of fun and did really good finding the eggs.





Here are most of the kids that participated in the egg hunt in our court. They all look pretty cold.



After that the school had a little carnival that we went to. They had a few games for the kids.





They had a little egg hunt at the carnival too where they just threw a bunch of eggs down the sides of a hallway and let the kids go get about 10 each. Dade did better with that one.



Later that day we colored eggs. They both had a lot of fun doing that. Dade had more fun eating the color I think, but he still did a good job. Landen liked to put the eggs in more than one color and he kept dropping them. It was a lot of fun.















Easter morning the boys got to see what the Easter Bunny brought them, then we watched conference. Drew had to work at 2 so the boys and I just relaxed and enjoyed the rest of conference.
