Garden Week 2
Here is our garden 2 weeks out. Our little tray of six cups, has mulitplied to 15 as I have transplanted the tomatoes that came up in multiples. You will notice the 2 empty cups on far left in front. Those are Gma and Bahnka's tomatoes that have yet to sprout. I haven't yet figured out what the symbolism is in that.

Spring FHE
I got the urge to have a garden this year. And I really wanted the girls and really the whole family involved. So have been planning this for over a month. I was just waiting for it to be the right time of the year. This weekend Jared went with me to buy the first of the supplies we will need. And we decided to make a FHE out of it. I prepared a lesson on the creation and we taught them the primary song My Heavenly Father Loves Me. (By the way, the church website has all the primary songs, with sheet music, audio music and singing for all the hymns and primary songs. Just go to: http://www.lds.org/cm/display/0,17631,4996,00.html
Anyway, after the lesson we let the girls plant some tomato seeds. Later we will plant beans, peas, zuccinni, and pumpkins when it is their turn.
I was suprised we didn't get any of those tiny seeds dumped onto the floor, where everything usually ends up.

5 Years
We celebrated our 5th Anniversary this weekend and it was great. Jared took Friday off and surprised me with this on our doorstep. These flowers are similar to the ones from my wedding bouquet. He knows I love them.
We spent the afternoon and evening child-free and it felt so good. Ray and Beate were kind and took care of the girls. Of course we spent so much our away time thinking about and talking about the girls. We even bought them some things. Like these sunglasses.
We just spent our freedom talking, holding hands, shopping and just doing what we wanted when we wanted. We even spontaneously decided to go swimming and had to buy swimsuits and towels. But that just make it more of an adventure. We spent the evening eating chinese in bed, watching Field of Dreams. Jared had never seen it and I have always loved it. It was such a nice anniversary, even if it was a simple one.

This is what Katie sleeps in at night. Experts say it decreases the risk of SIDS if you don't use blankets for babies in bed, or bumpers around the crib. So these lovely little things were invented. I will never use blankets again for my babies.
Anyway the other day, Katie was trying to get it on herself. This was the end result:
We thought spring was in the air, but then last weekend we got a huge snow storm one night. Almost a foot of snow in one night, and it continued throughout the day.
Alicia wanted to help her dad shovel the snow.

This is for all your ladies. I hope it makes you day like it did mine.

Gma: Who are you talking to?
Anne: I am not talk to who. I am talking to YOU!

Name Remebered
I remembered what Robby's food name was:
If you are confused just in my previous post a couple months ago about our food names.
I Forgot...
I was looking through my pictures when I realized I hadn't put our one Valentine's picture up. The holiday got kind of squished between church business, birthdays and sickness.
Several days after Valentine's we finally got to celebrate it. Jared and I made my favorite food, and I decorated the table. I just love decorating. Ray and Beate joined us for some homemade fettucine alfredo and chocolate mousse cake. I was the only one who had ever had alfredo sauce so I loved introducing it to them, and they loved it. Maybe it will become a Valentine's tradition.
I was going to make a special treat for Jared, but I think it will have to wait for our anniversary. Which is coming up real soon.

I Love to See the Temple
On Saturday we took a day trip to the Temple, because it takes over 2 hours to get there. We didn't have anyone to take the kids for us, Jared took care of them while I went into a session. The last session started before he could get in to one. But we had fun with the girls.
