Apricots, and Cherries are growing in the trees.


We will have lots of apricots and cherries this year. I hope I get to see a few grandsons this early summer to help me eat all the fruit. I also grew all my own seeds this year for the garden. I have a little portable green house to grow seeds. I planted three kinds of squash, peppers, onions, three kinds of tomatoes, cilantro, cucumbers, and spinach. I will plant these little guys next week in the garden area for harvest in the summer.

I love Easter color



Front yard color
Snap dragon color



Where are the Easter eggs?
The easter Bunny must be hiding

Oh I love color in the Spring

Spring is in the air

Grandpa's roses
Flowers are everywhere
Easter Colors
A great place to hide eggs

Pink Jasmine in full bloom

Grandpa's winter garden




Grandpa feeding Bruin, it's so much fun! Last Thursday Grandma and I played with Bruin while Holly and Phil went to the temple. It was so much fun having this little guy around. I took him outside and we went and picked peas out of grandpa's garden and he sucked on that pea pod for at least 15 minutes, we also eat grandpa's tangerines from the trees. I love my grandson and I'm so grateful we have websites to see them grow up everyday. Thanks for all your updates
This was a picture I took when we went down to visit Grandma, Chris and Linda. We had a great time, we took a drive over to the beach and took a walk out to a look out point. It was cold but it was fun.

Dad's baking bread these days. I want a great wheat bread that we can enjoy all the time. This recipe is pretty good, but I'm still playing with it. It's a full wheat ground bread. Holly comes over and makes it too and is trying it on Phil. If he likes it I'm getting closer. 
This is provident living. I'm making bread and Mom is making dinner out of the pantry at least a couple times a week to get use to eating our storage and rotating it.
We are also back on a budget! Wow dad on a budget is like a fish out of water. But it is what we all need to be doing. We need to be working our money not our money working us!
