Backyard Waterpark

Today was a beautiful 78°F and not a cloud in the sky. Matthew was working and needless to say Garrett and I were getting restless! So, crossing my fingers I suited the little boy up in his new swim duds and turned on the sprinkler. My fearless little man stepped right in. For the next hour and a half we had our own backyard waterpark.  What Fun!

Finally Spring in MT

Here in Montana it is finally starting to feel like spring! And let me tell you, we have been trying to enjoy every minute of it. It makes me so happy to see the sun shining in the morning when I wake up and hear the birds chirp out my window.  However, the best part about the flowers starting to poke their heads up is that fact that Team D is no longer stuck inside. HALLELUJAH!
Garrett has loved learning to play on the playground, swing on the swings and ride his trike (although still not tall enough to reach the pedals). Enjoy these first pictures of the season. :)

Snow! Yuck

Well, it turned out my friends were right. Thursday we had a full blown winter storm that lasted all day. The weather was so bad Matthew had to have a helicopter take him out to his alert yesterday! Other than the fact that I don’t really like them flying in such bad wind, I am so jealous! How fun to get to go on a helicopter ride to work! Maybe now that all of our friends are graduating from pilot training, and we know at least four helicopter pilots, I will get a ride one of these days (hint hint). At least I have a little bit of spring right in my home. I have been growing seeds for my garden and in the last week they have all poked their little heads out. It is so fun to see them grow!

Spring is in the Air... I am so ready

I am so unmotivated to do anything inside the house at all. It has been beautiful weather here in Great Falls and all I want to do is sit outside and read or work on the yard and get ready to garden. Friends tell me not to get to comfortable because there is always snow in May and June, but I say look at the glass half full and don’t worry about snow. I might add that we did have about eight inches just last week. Matthew and I got a new bistro table for our front porch on Saturday and I have to say I don’t see how I lived without it. I have been reading while Matthew does homework, sipping ice tea and watching the sun pass overhead. I even got my first slight sunburn of the season yesterday, it was 78 degrees out! This morning after a good workout at the gym Matthew and I sat and had coffee out on the deck (I had coffee Matthew had a smoothie) and watched as our neighborhood woke up. We also had four psychotic birds dive bomb us, Matthew got pecked in the ankle. Needless to say, bring on summer, swimming, running outside, long walks and afternoons at the dog park. I am ready!

The picture is one my grandpa took of the tulip festival in Washington. AMAZING BOPPA!
