Well our camera is somewhat working I tried the other night with the kids and the LCD screen is totally weird so I have to use it like a regular camera. Oh well will work till we get a new one.

Well I just realized that it has been a month since I last blogged. Oh where to begin. We have been pretty busy already this spring. Larry built a raised garden for us and we got that all planted with peppers, tomatoes, peas, beans, onions broccoli and carrots. I just noticed today that the onions are coming. I am so excited to have a little garden and kids are enjoying watching the vegetables grow!

My mom has been giving us a bunch of rhubarb which we have greatly enjoyed. I have frozen a bunch of it to save for making rhubarb sauce. It is excellent over pancakes/waffles. Also a great ambition is to make strawberry rhubarb jam. We'll see how for we get with that. Now we are just waiting for some asparagus.

Two weeks ago we went to Moline IL to the John Deere Pavillion and World Headquarters. It was neat but one time there and that's all you need. The kids absolutely loved it. They got to sit in tractors, combines, backhoes, bulldozers etc...(pictures to come).

I love this time of year to be outside working with my flowers, roses etc... Last week I got all my flowers planted and now it looks like summer outside. Even though this morning we were out in our winter coats and mittens. Summer is going to come....SOMETIME.

Jaden lost another tooth. That make 2 on the bottom. Wonder what his kindergarten pictures are going to look like!
