FAMILY PICTURES

In February the whole family was able to come together in Utah for somewhat of a family reunion, and while we were all there, we all decided that it would be a good time for a family picture.  Pati and John's neighbor and close friend was able to come over after church and take some pictures of the family.  As he was setting up the camera he took a few pictures that I couldn't help but pull some shots out of.

 Here are a couple good shots of the family!!

IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE!!

BOUNTIFUL BASKETS

I have been thinking about doing a food co-op, that a lot of our friends in Utah have done,  for a while now. This last week, I finally got myself together and did it!! In case anyone was wondering... This is what I got.

• 1 Orange Cauliflower
• 2 Bunches Asparagus
• 5 Yams
• 1 Head Romaine Lettuce
• 7 Apples
• 1 Cantaloupe 
• 2 Zucchini
• 9 Mini Cucumbers
• 1 Pineapple
• 8 Bananas
• 7 Oranges
• 1 Box Strawberries

ON MY MIND...

Yesterday, I was working in my yard... yes working in my yard, and was looking at all the beautiful flowers, and then remembered... IT'S MARCH!!! I just wanted to share a few of the things most of you aren't even starting to think about yet.  (All the pictures came from my yard 3/15/10.)

• Weeds, weeds, weeds!!
  
• The new plants need to be planted before it is too hot for them to establish themselves.
• I'm SO late getting a garden started. Who knows when that will be possible...
• The backyard landscaping is coming along.
• Next time, I need to use sunscreen and gloves! The sunburn on my scratches from the thorny desert plants don't feel so great.
• Hopefully I can revive the plants I tried to kill last year.
• It has been smelling so good!! Those yellow balls in the first picture are making my yard smell like a dryer sheet. Yum!
  

P.S... I am SOOO far behind in my blog.... Sorry!! Here are some posts that HOPEFULLY you can look forward to soon.

• Australia: Week 2
• Disneyland... Yes another one.
• Christmas in Utah
• Utah for Valentine's (with Matt home)
• Project Backyard:Parts 1, 2 & 3
• Maybe even a recipe or 2... we'll see.

KEEP POSTED... HOPE TO SHARE SOON!
