FEBRUARY FUN

Is it spring or winter, spring or winter, spring or winter??? That is the question. Even though spring is a month away, we get some gentle hints that spring could be coming and then we wake up to this. This is our backyard on March 1st, brrrrr, defintely still winter!

This was January 16, OK, yes I know that's winter for sure.

Despite the cold weather, we put in 17 more baby Douglas Fir trees. They are so cute as babies, . . . aren't we all.

Start of a tulip, bet it had a big shock this morning, completely covered with snow.

A week ago, it dried up enough for Kevin to give the backyard it's first mowing.

In Feb., Kevin and Jim went to a guy's night out (a few wives tagged along). They all went to Claim Jumper restaurant and then to the Winterhawks hockey game.

They had great seats.

The Winterhawk himself.

All the kids and grandkids are good. Alex has gained a love of reading and is a great student.

The little boys are growing like weeds.Payton has taken a liking to cooking.

Addy is an official permit driver at the age of 15 1/2. She passed the test on her first try. Also a great student.

Her first time behind the wheel . . . sort of. She's been driving on our property since she was 7. First on our laps, then her legs got too long, so since about 10 she's been "solo" behind the wheel.

Sophie had her 11th birthday in Jan. She had it at a place that has trampolines on the floors and walls called Sky Zone. Great student too.

Also in Jan. Kelly and Chris(no picture of Chris) had their birthdays and Crystal had hers in Feb.

Life's been good and we are loving it. Hope the same for you. jim and kathy
