| April 2007 April Showers |



| We cleaned up the yard and cleared the flower beds to get ready for planting. This is what we looked like at the end of the day. |




| new use for old shoes Hens & Chicks |
| Phlox - love this little ground cover- blooms tiny lavendar flowers |
| Autumn Joy - one of my favorite sedums |
| Daffodils - one of the first signs that spring is on it's way |

| Lamb's Ear - really is soft like a lambs ear - go figure |

| Lemon Balm - extremely fragrant and lifts the spirits |

| This is the front flower bed right now. Later it will have blooms and beautiful things in it. You can see close ups of some of the things that are perennial in the above pictures. |
| The background on this page is the same tree in the background on February. Here the buds have turned into blooms. This photo was taken from under the tree and it is still beautiful. |





| Nathan and Natalie blowing out the middle of the eggs so we can color them. |




| Our Easter Sunday Outfits |



| Anthony & i went to the Toby Mac Concert and it was awesome. Unfortunately my camera stinks at taking pics when lights are out in the background. So this is it for the pics. Thousand Foot Krutch, Family Force Five and Building 429 was there too. It ROCKED!! |
| Not sure what these are called some kind of monkey bars I guess. Look for our parks pics this summer, we are going to visit all the parks in our city this summer. |
| Natalie and Nathan helping Dad cook some hamburgers . |


| Me on the Trampoline with the Kids. it's really fun, I would not have done this last summer. Anthony did a good job taking this picture, too. |
