Lake Side Property

Chris and I always joke that every Spring we have lake side property. North Ogden and Harrisville, especially the area we are in, has a very high water table. So each spring, with the added run off, ponds seem to apear out of no where!

Our duck friends have returned this year. They are nesting and laying eggs in the cattails next to our horse pasture. They swim in the newly added "lake". lol! A friend of Landon's came over and said, "I can't believe you have your very own pond with ducks!"

While Chris was setting up the sump pump, in the crawl space, he opened the vents so that he could let some more light into the crawlspace. When he did that, I small frog jumped in. Chris caught it to show Landon, who had gone out with me for the morning. Landon was excited to see it and touch it. He called him Spot. Later, after a photo shoot , :) Spot was released into the "pond" with the ducks. He is quite happy there.

The Woman's Month :)

I am loving the weather! Today is beautiful and sooo sunny. It's getting me excited to start planting flowers and pulling weeds....yes, I really don't mind pulling weeds....it gives me a sense of accomplishement!

Two Sundays ago, while not as warm, but still nice, we went out on a Sunday drive. We found this beautiful calf that had just been born, with it's momma. The calf could barely stand and was still wet and goopy from being born. We watched the momma cow lick it clean while the calf nursed, trying to keep his wobbly legs straight underneath him. They were so sweet.

Anyway, I just wanted to share, but I'm heading back outside before the weather changes it's mind. My bio dad, who lives in Bulgaria, (Bulgaria has a VERY similar climate to where we live) said that the Bulgarians call March "The Woman's Month" because the weather is so ever changing and can't make up it's mind! lol!

Almost St. Patrick's Day

Landon is usually a fabulous sleeper, but last night he kept waking up with bad dreams. So, Chris told him to get his blanket and pillow and sleep on the couch, so he could be near our room.
This morning when he woke up, he came and told me, VERY SERIOUSLY, that he had seen a leprechon (bad spelling) running back and forth between our two couches all night. I asked him if he was scared and he said no. He said he tried to lay very still so that the leprachon could hide his pot of gold in OUR house. lol! So, today Landon has been in full searching mode, to find the pot of gold. He is begining to get concerned that the leprachon may have taken it with him, to put at the end of a rainbow!
...oh....I LOVE kids....especially mine!

Still Scrappin'!

Well, I'm still at it...I think I've done about 7 or 8 pages this last week! I've been trying to get a page a day done, while Korbin naps...at least until I catch up! I've finally completed my 2007 book, other than a title page. And Korbin's book is totally up to date. My 2008 book is finally up to date and I'm only about 4 pages off of my "Family by Jacqui" book. Whoa! Gosh...just in time for Easter and Korbin's birthday to creep around the corner! I just wanted to post a few of my favorites that I did this last week.

Here's a page from my "Family by Jacqui"...back from Fall. And a page of me and my boys in my Family 08 book. And last, but probably not least... Landon's 5th birthday from last December....for the Family '07 book. Well, I'll try posting some more words and not so many pages, now! I just couldn't resist sharing! Thanks for looking.

Bubble Bath Time!

Aren't they adorable?
