garden pics

Wow, what a great day! The weather was perfect. Mike had a basball tournement so we spent most of the day at the sports park. The boys loved it. They were able to play with their friends and watch dad play ball.

Asparagus and gibbled shoulders


Our first edible piece of asparagus from the garden! (Mike took this pic to show the size of it in comparison to other stuff). It took 3 years for the plant to mature but it's finally ready! We steamed it last night and shared it (all 4 of us, not much to go around!) but there's plenty more where that came from! Gardens are sooo great. Who knew?!?!

p.s. Finally went to the Chiropractor yesterday for my gibbled shoulder and found out it was actually a dislocated rib joint ANYWAY, just wanted to make the comment that Dr. Rochon of Sumas Mountain Chiropractic is the greatest!! I actually woke up this morning without wanting to cry in pain. I can take a deep breath without it hurting, yippee!!

Well, we had a very relaxing Easter Sunday. After the easter egg hunt we pretty much relaxed all day (very unusual for
us).

We had Paul and Jodi over in the evening for a visit and watched Brokeback Mountain. I would definitely recommend it, although it's a little depressing (don't want to give too much away!)

Happy Birthday Jenna!


Jenna had her 5th birthday yesterday. The kids had a great time together! Today was the "kid party" at Adventure Zone. It was CHAOS but the kids had a great time. Joseph didn't stop running all afternoon-he loved it. Lucas liked it too but was a little frustrated that he couldn't keep up with the older ones.

More tulips

This is a pic of the tulips at about 7am with the dew still on them.
