The last two weeks

I had no idea that it has been two weeks since I have posted. So much for posting once a week! These two weeks have just flown by. Here is what we have been up to. Me and the girls spent an entire day watching the royal wedding and all the coverage that came with it, so fun! I loved Kate's dress, I think she looked gorgeous! I also loved seeing London in the Spring, everything was so green and pretty! Oh how I wish it would have looked like that when we were there. Kami is so cute every time she saw Big Ben should would run up to the TV and point and say "there is Big Ben". I can't help but wonder what she would say if she saw how big it really is.

We have also been busy around the yard. We have been moving trees, planting trees, moving dirt, and digging numerous holes. If you have drove by our house in the past two weeks you have probably been wondering if we are crazy...maybe.

We now have half the trees planted at the barn, including three that we donated. We have all the holes dug for the egress windows, now we just have to find the time to put them in! We also started the new flower bed in the front, sort of. We won't actually be able to finish until Ash's window is in, but the dirt is there. We got the fire pit dug and in, the raspberry patch is ready for more raspberries, and Saturday we filled and leveled all the holes in the yard. Also, the girls helped me transplant a ton of daffodils last week and they are already blooming!

We also have been coloring.

Making the best strawberry pie EVER! You can find the recipe here or here.

Friday we went to the Mindy Gledhill concert at the college. We took Ash, this was her first concert. She loved it!

We went to Twizzleberry after the show. Doesn't Ash look so grown up!

Other things we have been up too. I have a new fun toy and we have enjoyed painting our nails around here. I have spent some time shopping with Marianne and helping her get ready for prom! Kaite enjoyed grandparent's day at school. She has been so excited to take my mom. She was even up before the alarm went off. She didn't even get up that early for Christmas! She had one traumatic event that day though...she lost a tooth at lunch. Apparently, she was distraught with all the blood! That tooth turned out to be a magic tooth. The thing jumped right out of the bowl later that evening and broke in two, I am wondering if it was some sort of heat exchange since it was sitting next to the stove while I was cooking but still... The tooth fairy left Kaite a note saying it was very magical and special. We celebrated Mother's Day yesterday. The girls were so excited and couldn't wait to give me their presents. They are so cute!

I hope everyone had a happy Mother's day!
We have enjoyed the warmer weather we have had, but today I am wrapped in a blanket with the fire going. And we are starting swimming lessons soon!
I do have a funny story about Kami. She loves church and can't wait to put on her dress Sunday mornings. As soon as she is done with breakfast she runs in and puts on her dress. I was really worried at first since we don't have church until the afternoon, but so far she has stayed clean. She is very much a girl!
I think that wraps it up. We have lots of stuff planned for this week including transplanting the tomatoes and peppers, they are getting tall. Hopefully, I will get a post in next week!
