Easter:

We dyed eggs the night before Easter and the Easter bunny hid plastic eggs and the real ones. When Amelia found the real ones she would throw those down and look for the plastics ones...

Time to stop Haten' on ole Idaho

Ok, so it's really nice here in Idaho right now. I LOVE the spring and summer here. And in the summer I say stuff like "I'm going to really take advantage of the winter, I'm going to start skiing, sledding, ice skating"...etc...but the cold creeps in about mid October and my bear like instincts kick in and the next thing you know I'm 10 lbs heavier, moaning about the cold and NOT skiing or sledding or ice skating...

BUT right now is AWESOME!

So here are some pics of Easter, hiking, our little garden. My garden that I am oh so proud of! I usually buy everything cause my starts mold or piddle out. This year I planted okra and peas directly in the soil and they sprang up!! YAY. I still bought tomatoes and basil and made a big yummy strawberry patch. I'm also doing some cool wildflower terrariums..if they turn out I'll post pics....so far so good though.

Amelia is great..funny, entertaining... She has gotten increasingly brave. She loves to jump off and climb up everything. She will usually yell "Watch what mama's big kid can do" before an especially dangerous jump, so at least I have warning that the big kid is about to do something potentially life threatening.

Happy summer to all!
