There is beauty all around...

I LOVE springtime! The weather here has been kinda weird, well, normal for So. Cal. It hit 100 for a day or two, then goes down to the high 60's. Then we have earthquakes, etc. etc. Well, we were able to hit the beach on one of the really warm days & it was awesome! I hope it warms up again soon so I can get my fill before I'm on house arrest. (aka recovering from child birth) Which (tangent) I can't believe I'm 30 weeks already. It seems that I've been so pre-occupied with my other kids that this pregnancy has been flying by. I am gigantic already, and am really, really sick of people's comments that I get on a daily basis. If you've been prego, you know what comments I'm talking about. But my favorite is... "oh you poor thing, you still have 2 more months!?!" But I'm feeling good for the most part. I will have to take another belly shot.
And back to the post... I kill things. Everything from flowers to fish (our 2 fish have recently passed. RIP Perry and Dorothy). Luckily, I have managed to keep my children alive. When we decided to plant cherry tomatoes and basil in the middle of winter, I thought they had no hope. Well the basil didn't last long, but the cherry tomato plant is HUGE and producing SO many delicious tomatoes.

Look at that beauty! That was our first ripe tomato. It's big for a cherry tomato. I can't wait to have a big backyard so we can plant all kinds of things.

We have the most beautiful rose bushes around our place and they are in full bloom. While Aubs was sleeping the other day I took Dallin around to pick some. I love having fresh flowers in my house, and I'm too cheap to buy something that only lasts a few days.


But I do have to say, the BEST thing about springtime is that Glenn only has 4 more weeks of his 2nd year of Grad school!!!! Woohoo! Next year will fly by!
