Spring is here (at least in Washington)

It has finally gotten warm and the crops are turning green. They have even planted potatoes around the Pasco area. I have been busy pruning roses, cleaning flower gardens and pruning rasberries. It feels so good to be outside again. I may even tackle dads shop today. (Okay that will take more than just today to finish) The farm is busy putting fertilizer on and getting the machinery and sprinklers ready. They bought a new ton-right and had to do some work on it and it will be so nice to have two of those going. We may have to teach Colton to run one and Blake to run the other. It takes some patience to stick on those and take the time to put the stack up straight. Hope those boys have the patience.

We were so excited to hear from Brian and Candace and they had exciting news. Even more exciting than "It's a boy" were the words that everthing looks good. Now all that needs to happen is the baby and Candace to grow. And they will be busy exchanging all those girls things for boys things. Sorry Brian, your 4-season closet may not be needed. Boys only have two seasons....sports and camo.

We are going to go see Caden play another basketball game today. We watched him play a couple of weeks ago and they are amazing to see little 6-7 year old boys that can play positiions and shoot like they do. We watched Payton wrestle last week. It was one of those little guy wrestling tournaments that last from 8-8. But Payton won his weight and age bracket. It is cute to see his tough face he gets on. We are almost as busy chasing grandchildren as we were our own.

Some of you have asked about making some payments or paying early on this summer family trip. I have a savings account that I am putting the money into so if you want to send early there is a place for it. I hope everyone is as excited as we are for this.

Well I had better get going and start that shop. Love you all. grandma

I'm so jealous of the spring weather. It is slowly warming up here too. Don't worry I'm growing. It seems every time I get on the scales they just keep going up. Oh well I guess that is how it is supposed to happen. We're so sad we are going to miss the reunion. I guess it's all for a good cause. Love ya!
