Flowers! Bake Sale! Music!

This weekend our flowerbed just exploded with color! The daffodils and tulips are absolutely breathtaking! They smell divine! I Love Spring! Bryce had also mowed the yard, and the aroma of the fresh mowed grass and the rain we had was absolutely wonderful!





Bryce and I had the fun oppurtunity to see Kenny Chesney in concert! I've never had the pleasure to see him in concert before, but Bryce has quite a few times. It was a lot of fun!
Kenny sings alot of beach songs which inspires the pirate flag

 Friday and Saturday were the local townwide garage sales, my friend Brittany and I had a bake sale. You saw in earlier posts some of the many goodies we sold. It was alot of fun. We got to talk to a lot of people. After we sold most of our items, we walked around town looking for bargains.


I got this nice bookshelf for $5!!! and the books below for just a couple!

Probably my favorite buy, new with tags. Was $42 got it for $2.50!! YEAH!!

Spring is officially here. Planters are rolling. Work is busy and stressful. Hopefully it goes quickly, safely, with very little issues!

Have a fantastic evening!

Catching Up!

Wow! I basically just need to blog the whole month of April! It has been a busy month! Firstly I must brag on my handsome husbands handyman skills. We are wanting to acquire some poultry here in the near future and need a place for them to reside. So with lots of browsing online, through the Encyclopedia of Country Living and poultry magazines, Bryce created a design and we had a date at Menards to get the supplies. It will be quite the structure when it is finished: a people door, nests that are accessible from the outside, windows with shutters and flowerboxes, little chicken doors, roosts, and finished with a classic red and white barn look :)
Wall to the west I believe

The roof, siding, and walls


The wall that will have the nests in it

This was our Easter morning get up :) We had a great morning of worship at Northfield, then headed down to Forest City for dinner at Grammas, wiffle ball games, and rides in the new tractor

The garden being expanded because we made it too small!

Potatoes, onions, peas, lettuce and radishes in the ground :)
We got to have Gracie , Daniel, and Sam come over for the weekend and help us do some projects around the place. They were fun to have:) We gardened, did yard work, made milkshakes, and goofed around.
Gracie, Daniel, and Buffy all shared a bed




Gracie scraping some of the rust off one of the milkcans out of the barn. These were from Bryce's Grampa and Gramma's dairy. I am planning on using them for a house decoration

A sign that Spring is here!
We've really enjoyed firing up the grill! This night we had porkchops and baked taters


My friend Brittany and I are going to have a bake sale up at the Tremont townwide garage sales, so one weekend we got together to bake a few things. Above are the peanut butter chocolate rice crispies.



Nothing beats pink lemonade



Puppy Chow!


My handsome honey after church today:)

And here is the milkcan!! :)

Well, it's getting late. Hopefully I'll have time to post some pictures of the Flood of 2013 next time.
Have a fantastic day!
