Spring is here....almost

We have been busy little bees around our house now that it's getting warmer!  We purchased our first lawn mower and trimmer, not a fun purchase but exciting nonetheless!  So while Benj is trying to get grass to grow in our little yard, steph is gardening and decorating the house, and baking a lot!

Here's a quick recap of the last couple of months....

I got an awesome bread maker for my birthday from Benj and a group of friends!!!

Shan and I celebrated our birthdays together!  Love her!

I haven't purchased a loaf of bread from the store since February, I feel so domestic :)

We were able to do some hiking when the weather started to warm up and we realized how out of shape the winter makes us.

Happy Easter......Easter spent with Nat, Shan, and the kids was so nice

I have been digging up the endless amount of terrible plants and weeds so that we can actually have some yard space...almost done

And a wonderful friend bought me my first flowers to plant, although I may have already killed them

Almost done with the garden bed around the house and as you can see in the background, Benj is becoming quite the mechanic, saving us tons of money by doing it all himself and with a friend from work!

Can't wait till it's done so we can plant some pretty flowers!

This is the view from our back porch...love the sunsets here!

I have made more cake (birthdays and showers) in the last two weeks than I had in the last two years!

And finally, I am attempting to sew some curtains and decorate our room after living here for 6 months!
