Spring fever

These are awesome flowers in our yard.  Anyone know the name of them?  We don't, but we would like to know.  
The garden is all planted.  It has been a very friendly spring, and everything is thriving.  We finally planted our seedlings that we had inside for so long.
Yesterday I took a nap, and Nate fed the kids cookie dough.  Yes, that's the size of their dough balls.  Good grief!
Saturday we hosted a BBQ at our house and made homemade rootbeer for the first time.  It was really cool!  It tasted great too.
Saturday morning we went on a short, but steep hike with the Woods.  It was really pretty and it was fun to look down our our little town.  


Ben has taken up photography with our old digital camera.  Luckily I bought rechargable batteries last time I was at Costco.  He has filled up his memory card many times already.  I have loved looking at things from his point of view when we have imported the pictures.  He's quite good!

I LOVE finding random pictures (mostly blurry) on my camera from the kids. It is like a little window into their world that I can keep FOREVER!

See you soon!

I think those flowers are some kind of dianthus, but I could be wrong!

Mantua and the Blaines are growing healthy, beautiful children and gardens too! Keep snapping those pictures, Ben; they're fun to see! Your aunts, uncles, and parents get some great ones too!

What a beautiful place to live. especially with out the snow. hehe Love the garden. I wish the dirt here made it possible to garden. I am having another c-section on july 31st. Just behind Jill. It is getting close and I am getting excited and nervous. Tell Jill I wish her luck and safety. I will be watching the dunlap family blog for pics. hehe I like to check up on your family.
