A Whole Lotta Somethin'

Where did all the time go? So many things going on, it's hard to keep track of the time. Early March the temperatures would drop pretty low at night and the car windows would frost. I thought they made some pretty cool designs on the trunk! I just so happen to have my camera on me one morning and snapped a couple of pictures. 

I thought it was pretty neat. 

Then we got an awesome phone call that Katie (Jake's sister) was having her baby!

James Whiteley Crook looks just like his mom! He was a 10 lbs. 5 oz. baby and he's really cute!

Since there are plenty of girl babies on their way, I've decided to take the easy way out on shower gifts. Bows. A hand crafted bow a month.











And if they are totally hated, they can be re-gifted.

Today, Jake and I went out and checked the peas we planted in the garden. They are coming up! We did have our doubts but we see some poking through. When they get a bit more noticeable we'll post some pictures! Doesn't that sound so exciting?! Ha ha!

April 1st is the start of fishing season. We're ready to go. I refuse to eat the fish but I think it will be fun to go out and give it a try to catch them. Especially since we live next to quite a bit of lakes and rivers.

I really think the designs of ice on your car are so cool! You know here in Vegas we don't get so much of that. Also, that baby has SO much hair! wow!

The bows are wowsers!!! But I hope you didn't give the March one to Katie for Baby J!!! He certainly has the hair for it, but not what's in the diaper......

Emily,
You should sell those bows! They put my flowers to major shame. You'll have to let me buy some from you or send instructions so I can make some. Good job!
