After a long winter, it's spring time! Finally!! I actually like to hang onto winter longer than most since warmer weather means Mike working more, but even I was ready for things to warm up. Now that we've had a few nice days, I am loving all the time spent outside. And, just like his big brothers, Jackson is loving it, too. It makes him giddy to run free outside. :) We have a few little projects to work on outside in the yard, but nothing too major. Maybe I should start thinking about the garden soon... I have such a love/hate relationship with the garden. When I look at it now and try to decide what I want to put in it, it seems small and I run out of space quickly; however, I when I'm in there weeding it feels HUGE.
A couple weeks ago it was my birthday and church was actually cancelled for an ice storm! I remember having some snow on the ground on my birthday before (it's rare), but nothing that drastic. It was kind of nice to have the day at home with my guys. Caleb, Logan, and Levi put together a scavenger hunt for my birthday presents, and that was a lot of fun. Each of them drew their own map for one present, and we had to start at the beginning (the living room) for each one. And, they all ended upstairs. So, I got my exercise going up and down the stairs - Jackson didn't quite know what to think as he couldn't keep up with us. He'd been on his way down when we were on our way back up again! :)
Our church had their Pinewood Derby race a couple weekends ago, and I'm happy to report we came home with a few trophies. Phew! :) Mike put quite a bit of effort into the cars, and it was fun that the boys could help more this year. Caleb, Levi, and Mike each entered a car; Logan passed this year. I may even join in the fun next year - we'll see. Caleb won first and Levi won second in the youth division, and Mike won second in the open division. And, if you look at the final times, they were SO close! These were races we definitely needed the computer for, many of them were too close to call with the naked eye.
