Weeds in March?

Sorry it has taken me so long to update the blog. We've been staying fairly busy with life and trying to keep up with James' work schedule. Today we got to work out in our yard for a few minutes. James was cleaning up after Sadie and I was putting down weed block. Yes! We already have weeds coming in all over the place. I didn't think it was as bad as it was until I got out there and really started looking at all the lovely weed sprouts attempting to take over my gigantic planter. We are excited to finally have the planter completed. James worked so hard last year to de-rock and bring in some mulch to make weeding easier for me. We hope to get some fun plants in this year. We are so happy that we are finally getting a small taste of what this Spring has yet to bring. We all know it will snow again...right?

Today Braxton had fun being outside spraying water all over. I can already tell it's going to be a fun filled wet Summer for us. We had a lot of fun playing in the backyard. Braxton is learning how to pump on the swings to keep himself going...and he is doing an excellent job. He's also doing so much better for all of you that knew he was terrified of the slide. The second picture here shows the remnants of the snow hill left in the yard that James made for sledding this year. This is the second year James created a sledding hill for Braxton by snowblowing all of the snow into a huge hill. This is a 'new' family tradition. We were excited to be outside playing 'on the grass'. We still have a ways to go before we will see the grass in the front yard...seeing as our house faces North and there are still about 2 feet in some areas. We are so thankful the warmer weather is finally headed our way.
