Spring is here!?

It is the second day of March. Almost all of February was beautiful spring weather. The birds have returned and we started cleaning up the yard to prep for planting. However, today it is snowing! I knew it was too soon to call "Spring" However, I did make a lovely "Spring" Block set for my mantel. I love my mantel. It bring me joy to decorate it with the changing of the seasons. My house is far from where I envision it ending up looking like. And since we can't afford to do all the renovations at once I take happiness out of being able to decorate one small part of my house to look really nice. Here are some pictures of it!

Thanks to Laurie and Brittney for hosting ladies night where we get to make cool stuff like this! You make crafting easy!

The Mountain of Snow!

Well in January we FINALLY got a decent snowfall. I grew up in Fernie, where about 2/3 of the year was spent in snow. A good majority of my childhood memories include snow play. One of my favourites was when dad would plow up the mountain of snow from our .5 km long driveway and we would slide down it and play king of the hill. Well, we tried to recreate that on a smaller scale in our driveway. Adam came outside and helped me shovel all the snow into the pile. He worked so hard! I was so proud of him! Then the best part at the end was climbing up the snowpile and showing off how tall it was. Look at how proud he is. He even tried sledding down it. (it was a short ride) but he was excited nonetheless.

It looks taller if you take the picture while lying on the ground!

Doesn't look so tall when you take the picture from standing point

Caleb gets his first hair cut.

We cut Caleb's hair for the first time in January. He cried the whole time. At first we had asked Adam not to come in the kitchen where we were cutting his hair because we didn't want him to walk all through the cut hair and track it through the house. But Adam finally came in and started singing "Caleb I love you, Caleb I do-o, Father in Heaven has sent me to you-ou, When I am near you, I love to hear you, singing so softly that you love me too. Caleb I love you, I love you I do." It was so sweet and Caleb stopped crying! We were able to finish up the hair and snap a few photos. He now looks like a little man. So cute!

Caleb loves sticking his tongue out!
