April is here!

Greetings! Not happy with my blog frequency lately, but we have had a lot going on & many thoughts on my mind. We have been preparing our garden for this season & deciding on what to plant this year. 
So far I have some herbs planted, we have several varieties of tomatoes & a sweet pepper plant, some onions & garlic. 
My daughter has a cabbage plant she is personally tending to. Bonnie has a contest with 3rd graders, they all get sent home with a cabbage plant & whoever has the largest one at the end of the summer wins a 1,000 scholarship! That is neat to get kids excited about growing! On this link you can see that some children must be feeding their plants tons of miracle grow. Lol....  http://bonniecabbageprogram.com  
We didn't do a lot in our garden last year, but what we did decide to plant did really well.
 We had a scorching, dry drought of a summer & halfway through July it got too hot & things were drying up. Funny part was, the tomatoes & green peppers, once the weather started cooling off in late August early September, things started growing again! We pulled our last pepper & tomato in November & we weren't even tending to them or watering them. Glad they made it. 

Our Oklahoma summers have been really unpredictable. 
The girls are in the middle of their volleyball season, that has been fun to see them in action, they are really enjoying playing together. It is nice they are on the same team. 

Ryder has been enjoying Pre-K & learning so much... & when he is not at school he is begging to play X-box. ugh :) 

Something else I have been up to is Just Between Friends. It is a crazy big consignment sale that travels to different cities. I have shopped at one, but I have never been a consigner before. It starts the end of this month & I have been busy gathering clothing my kids have outgrown & tagging them for the sale. I am on a cleaning/purging of junk frenzy & it feels good to get rid of clutter. I have clicked the box to "donate" all my items that don't sell. I don't want them back! 

Some fun things we did in March.....

My friend Jennifer got a Silhouette Cameo. We summoned a craft afternoon asap & I found a lovely vintage frame I bought on Etsy & we put an "N" & Mod Podged it. 

Ta-da!! 

Day with my sister & my sweet niece! 

Me & my honey had our 6 year anniversary. I commemorated it with a nice chalkboard doodle. 

Ryder & I attended a Mommy/Son barn dance at the Orr Family Farm. 

We are suddenly shy & dancing wasn't an option. 

So we snuck off to the barn to milk a fake cow:)! 

Avery found a ladybug 

Lowe's trip! Time for some home improvement projects 

Well finish the month off with some harmless Easter baking! The diet starts in April right?? 

Blessings!!
