First time Gardeners

SO we decided to plant a garden this year. Picked the spot and got it all ready. We even started some plants... The kids are anxious for things to grow.
We hope to grow tomatoes, strawberries, peas, black beans, lettuce, a pumpkin, watermelon, blackberries, raspberries, cilantro, onions, garlic and some sunflower seeds. Not too much for a first time is it? I'm am excited to have it grow.
We also pruned the apple tree...it looks like we stripped it. Might make for a good tree house if we don't get apples.!!!

Haircut



We did it.... after almost 6 years we finally cut Madison's hair. We've trimmed it many times but this time we cut at least 6 inches off. I think I know why my mom cut my hair...it is a nightmare to keep untangled. Madison really likes it- and I can comb it without snarls!!

Happy St Patricks Day

Jacob had to make a Leprechaun Trap for School. I guess the Leprachauns came while the kids were at lunch.. Apparently, catching a leprechaun is harder than you would think. We didn't catch one...just missed him. But he didn't get our gold!!!

A day at Temple Square

We took the tracks uptown and spent the afternoon at the Church History museum and Temple Square.
