Thinking of Spring

I took a walk around my yard and took some pictures of the flowers that are blooming right now. Honestly, I don't know what they are, so if any of you know, let me know! :) Enjoy!

Just Keeping Busy

Matt was gone for three weeks this past month, and that's my excuse for not keeping ya'll informed on our daily fun. Hopefully he'll get some internet on our home computer before he leaves this time.
Anyway, we've been staying busy working around our new house, trying to get things in shape. I've been working on the school room, trying to make it into a room that the kids love to be in!Paul's been doing pretty well with his school work, he insists still that he can't read very well, but he slips when he thinks I'm not paying attention and he does really good. I've gotten an app on my phone that is a penguin spelling game. He loves this game, and will tell me excitedly that he's on the fourth level! Haha He hasn't figured out yet that it's the same as doing school work, just fun.
So, I've got things to be doing right now, and I'm just going to toss some pictures out there for you.

 My friend, Emily Sampson. We had a work day out at the church, cleaning up outside.

 They put in some newer equipment! The kids love the pine shavings.

 I haven't a clue what to call this thing, but it was taking down trees like they were toothpicks!

 Me, Hannah, and Grace taking a break

 Bro Neil watering the beds that we worked on

 Doing yard work at our own house

I'm trying to get rid of all these little stones so I can have a flower bed here. Lots of kids come in handy! ;)
