Our First Fire!

This is our first fire in the fire pit that Zack got me for my birthday. We had Kylee and Heidi Nelson over on April 4th to roast hot dogs and make s'mores. It was so much fun! We choose this fire pit because it is light weight and easy to carry. We hope that we will be able to use it a lot this summer.

Garden

Zack and I are so excited!! Today we spent most of the afternoon outside getting the ground behind our deck ready for our garden. We don't have a tiller so we (mostly Zack) dug up the ground and raked everything back under. I pulled weeds. We went to Stoker's Nursery and got a bunch of seeds and some plants. We got strawberry, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and cabbage plants. Some potatoes to plant. And peas, beans, corn, onion, cucumber, watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, radish, carrot, pumpkin, spinach, and lettuce seeds. We should have a nice full garden when everything starts to grow! I just don't know if I have the patience to wait. I think that is why when we get our own house we will invest in a green house so we can start plants earlier and have vegetables all year long. I am also planning on spending another day weeding the flower beds and by the tree and planting some flowers there around Mother's Day. I am lucky to have connections a couple of greenhouse girls and guy who know their stuff! Thanks Jessi , Krystal and David. I am really glad that you guys have worked at Stoker's it makes growing a garden so much easier.

Conference

I loved being able to listen and watch Conference this past weekend. I did not have to work which was even better and I was able to watch the Saturday morning session and participate in the Solemn Assembly which was amazing. I felt the Spirit so strongly and know that President Monson is a Prophet of God. He is such a great man and I am so excited that he is the new Prophet. I can't wait for Conference to come around again in October.
