Easter / Spring 2014

Even though my boys are getting older,  I couldn't resist getting them these Star Wars Easter bunnies and Darth Vader "eggs".

This is our first spring in this home and we're loving all the beautiful surprises around our property. The only thing we haven't enjoyed was the huge pile of manure our neighbor farmer dumped across the road from our home, which just so happened to be in the direct wind path toward our home, therefore it was a rough couple of weeks trying to do anything outside.

Luckily, it has been spread on the fields and the stench has cleared, so I can now hang my clothes out to dry on the clothes line.

blood moon

We, like many people, were curious to see the blood moon, so our family woke up at 1:45 this morning to witness the phenomenon. I had only used my phone to take the pictures, therefore they're not the greatest, however it's better than nothing.

Camouflage

The boys didn't have any luck getting a Turkey this weekend, but they did have fun with the camouflage face paint as well as eating the camo cake I made for them today. The cake even had the hunters bright orange icing.

Spring Turkey Preparation

The boys are getting ready for the youth Spring Turkey weekend,  and they're excited.

Saturday Night

After the hustle and bustle of the work week, there's nothing better than gathering around a fire pit with your loved ones. I find it to be quite comforting to my soul...the warmth from the fire, the aroma of the burning wood, the hypnotic dance of the glowing flames. These are the  moments I will cherish forever.

A Farewell

Today was my last day working in a position I had held for a little more than one and a half years. The wonderful ladies I work with surprised me this morning with flowers and goodies. Luckily I'm staying within the same system,  but I'm truly going to miss these ladies.
