The First Harvest.


We were finally able to harvest some veggies from our spring garden!!! YAY! WE had tons of spinach growing so we thinned the plants, and when we thinned the plants we also saved the baby spinach leaves to eat!!!

They were very small, but we put them in some grilled cheese sandwiches and they were delicious!!! The remaining spinach is now flourishing since we thinned the plants.
Our seedlings for our summer garden are now spending some time outside when the weather is nice. They are looking huge!!!!!! We can't wait to get them in the ground!!!!

More pics.



I was struggling to add the other pics that I have of the nursery to my last blog, so I just wanted to put them up here. They are the burp cloths and also the diaper stacker.

Roxy Rocks!!!!





The Nursery is almost complete!!!! It has been a ton of work and Roxy has worked so hard to make the nursery look wonderful. She has been absolutely amazing and she has done so much to help us!!! Thank you Roxy!!!! We wanted to share all of the amazing creations of Roxy with everyone!!! She made Ashley the cutest gift, which included, a quilt, a receiving blanket, burp cloths, and a rattle and two pacifiers all tied with a huge ribbon and bow. It was beautiful!!!!
The quilt is by far one of our favorites!! It is adorable!!!!!



We are also so impressed with
the burp cloths that Roxy made. She hand crocheted all of the edging for the cloths. Way to go Roxy!!!! You Rock!!! Thanks you once again for all of you help!!!

Plants and other stuff.

The seedlings are doing awesome!!!! The best by far are the peppers, which are pictured below. They have about 5 more weeks under the lights and then they will be transplanted outside.






Our spring garden is also coming to life. Pictured below is the spinach, but we also have the snow peas, lettuce, and arugula seedlings growing. We can't wait to have fresh baby spinach!!!














We also spent an evening building the dresser for Hollands nursery. It arrived to us via ups in about 50 pieces with 150 various screws and bolts, but after just a couple hours, viola! We had an adorable dresser!!!!! The nursery is close to being finished. Just a few final touches and then we will ready! We will post a picture of the entire nursery once it is finished, which will probably be in just a couple more weeks.

Everything Is Growing!!!!

We finally planted our spring garden.  We planted snow peas, spinach, lettuce, arugula, radishes, carrots, and broccoli!!! We can't wait to start harvesting.  Once the spring garden is done around may/ june then all our summer seedlings will be big enough to go in the ground!!  YAY!!!

Ashley is now at 28 weeks!!!  About 4 weeks have passed since the last pic so we thought we would let you all see how HUGE Ashley and Holland are getting.   Holland is about 15 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds, what a big baby!!!  Ashley is now the proud owner of maternity clothes, it's hilarious.  Aside from the happenings around the house the EVO is FINALLY in the shop! YES!!!

Preparations for Summer Ambitions

We've bought some more stuff for Holland. Only 12 more weeks until the big day!
A quilt by Roxy!
The rumors are true! We are growing drugs! Actually it's seedlings of tomatos and watermelons and peppers and brocolli. It's been a week exactly since they were planted and....
we have golden nugget, grape, roma, and siletz tomatos showing here. Behind the left most tomato seedlings are the brocolli seedlings.
That's the watermelon. They won't last long there, in fact, they will be needing a larger home soon. Since it's starting to get nice out and the lurking danger of frost is abating, we will be planting the Spring garden items in the next day or two. We have lettuce, spinach, brocolli, arugala, asparagus, radishes, snow peas, and carrots planned to go into soil soon.

Just a Quick Update

We have been hard at work getting ready for Hollands arrival. We recently purchased one of our favorite items, a bedding set for the cradle!!!! We both love it!!!! We've also picked up some clothing here and there and we registered at Babys R Us.





Even though March has now officially arrived we are still skiing. Bogus Basin just received 6 new inches yesterday!!! They needed the new snow, it was melting fast. This is a pic of the mountains before the new snowfall. you can see how low it was.
We are also hard at work to get the EVO fixed. The clutch recently went out and it has been a major expense to get it repaired. But soon enough Rick will be out at Auto Cross again.
