SPRING!!!

Glimpses of Grass instead of snow...
I'm sooo looking forward to:

Saint Anthony Idaho! Who needs vacation homes in Mexico? My dream vacation home is located in St Anthony Idaho, home of the SAND DUNES!!! :) I'm going to be the old grandma from Napoleon Dynamite who's duning at 90 years old!

Glendale! Boating, Camping, Sunbathing, Late nights and Loud Campfires, (no drama this year hopefully), Wakeboarding, no tubing please.

The BOAT REGATTA! Burley, Idaho! We are sooo there!

Baby Zeek's debut! Can't wait Suz! You better let me babysit that darling little fetcher!

A nice freshly mowed lawn. (Mowed by my favorite step-son in the whole world...hint hint) He mows it best. :) Love ya Bailey!

Longer Days! I hate it when it gets dark so early! The kids hate it too. They are definately outside kids.

Back to the Gym! Not that I can't go during the winter, but it's very hard to make a 5:30am gym class when you have to scrape the ice off of your windshield and let the truck warm up before you can go.

FLIP FLOPS. 'Nuff said.

And, of course, TRAP SHOOTING! I love hunting, but I love more shooting trap. After all, you get as many targets as you want, no hiking for days, and you always get at least one. This year we're going to try the Malad shoot. I'd better get some practice in before then and may need to dust off the shotgun! And I miss my gun club friends, and Heather's weekly meals! :)

Not looking forward to:

Dance Competition Season. :( For those of you involved, you feel my pain, I know you do. Tiff- let's go together this year, since I am positive neither one of our husbands will be drug along again.

Tax season. This one came early. Again. URGHHHH!!!! Every year I swear to be diligent in my bookkeeping so it wouldn't be so bad. But, it's here again, and again I'm behind.

Easter. I do not like Easter, I do not know why. This probably stems from trying to find 5,235 miniture football chocolate things. Amy will understand. (Remember when we put them on the fan in mom's room? Or was that Greg that helped me? ) Funny.

Digging out the boxes of spring/summer clothes and putting the winter ones away. If I enter the storage room and am not out in 15 minutes, come looking for me, k? (I am my mother's child on this one.)




I am sure there are more, but I'm not going to dwell on the negative.
I'm going back out to look at the grass. And maybe try on my riding gloves and make sure they still fit. :)

Excuse me!!!!! I thought you loved the little egg hunt! After 30 yrs. you say you don't! (And those on the fan could have taken an eye out)

FYI When you go into the storage room you hook onto a bungee cord AND take your cell phone!

Amy was telling us about the eggs on the fan just the other day! So funny!

Mom- I do use the bungee, it gets snagged! And my cell doesn't have service down that deep! Ha!!! You're a funny mom, mom. :)

Sounds wonderful.... Can't wait. I will just be so happy to see grass, sun and birds again!

Come visit me! I haven't put the flip flops away in over two years! My grass is green and my pots have been full of flowers since October! Miss you, sending you some sun!!
