Spring is in the Air

Spring is in the air in Utah. Well at least we get a couple of spring like days here are there. The weather has been so unusually cold and wet this year. I am really bummed because this is my favorite season. I love the spring flowers, the perfect weather and knowing that a relaxing summer is near. Last Thursday was perfect in was in the mid 70's so we had to get out and play. In the morning Talan and I decided that it was a perfect day for a long bike ride. We loaded up Lincoln in the bike trailer which he loves to ride in now and started out.

Talan on his bike ready to take off. Notice his soccer shin pads. He didn't want to wear his helmet,but he needed to make sure that his shins were protected.

Lincoln is ready to go.

We rode all over the neighborhood, we were gone for over an hour. Lincoln had so much fun that he fell asleep.

 While Lincoln was down for a nap Talan and I wanted to plant flowers the front flower bed.
Talan is such a hard worker. He is always asking to help with whatever you are doing.

Talan took this flattering photo of me (HaHa) planting flowers.

Still working hard.

I tried to take an after picture but the sun was not right.
When Jason got home from work we BBQ some balsamic chicken. We all got a good laugh we Jason found this Baby Carrot in the bag.

You would think that my kids had never seen a carrot in it's natural state. They had so much fun playing with the carrot. It was a sword most of the evening until it finally broke. Who knew a carrot could be so fun.
I am so glad that spring is finally coming but I fear that it will be extremely short this year and summer will be here soon.
