I meant to do this as two different posts- one yesterday and one today but that didn't happen and so I am putting them together. On Monday we had a beautiful day outside and I was feeling well so I took the kids to the nursery and picked out some flowers for our garden. We planted them and did some general yard work and the place looks so great now.
These are some hanging flower baskets with flowers that should grow longer - vining down.
I love pansies. I wanted to plant them everywhere so that when they grow bigger they will look like when BYU planted them everywhere and all you see is a blanket of Pansie flowers.
Oh and surprise! I guess we have some Rhubarb growing in our backyard. Too bad we don't like rhubarb.
We had another garden surprise - a really good one. Out here we have seen these trees that Ive found out are called Dogwoods. They bloom these enormous pink flowers in the spring. I mean ENORMOUS - like as big as your hand. Which I just loved because you never see a tree bloom flowers that big. Well the kids discovered that in our backyard we have a bush that blooms flowers that look like the Dogwoods - maybe its a Dogwood bush if that exists. I was so excited to see that we had one because we were just talking about getting a tree like that for our yard since the blooms were so pretty. We had not gone out to the back yard in a few days because of the robin's nest so we didn't notice the bush.
I just love how big the flowers are because even for a bush or a tree - these are so big!
Along with Spring garden surprises we started spring sports for the kids. Yesterday Lyman had his first day of Soccer and Swim lessons. He loved going to both of them and I cant believe how big he is and how much he is willing to listen and follow directions when its someone other than his parents directing him. Daddy got to see the last 10 minutes of Soccer practice cause he met us at the YMCA after work instead of going home first. Corilynn has her first day of Swim lessons on Thursday so Ill post some of those pictures up with my Thankful Thursday.
After the last few days - today has been designated a PJ day staying at HOME.

Everything looks beautiful in your yard. Those Dogwood flowers are gorgeous! And Lyman is quite the handsome sportsman!!!!!
I can't wait to see the whole tree when the flowers bloom. What a great surprise. And hanging flower pots always turn out looking the prettiest. I love them!
