I looked out the window....

And what did I see???

Have I ever mentioned how much I love springtime??

The boys counted 25 of these trees in pink

just on the way to Grandma's house.

They are on the list of trees I want in my yard

When I finally get one again...

We were walking around the complex the other day

and saw a few of these trees

Without any prompting,

Andrew shouted excitedly

"POPCORN!!"

They are now known as the "popcorn trees"

I'd like to introduce

our future paleontologist

It was career day at Porter's school

and he decided to dress in his new dinosaur shirt

(make special by Grandma Peterson -

Thanks, Grandma!)

To show how much he loves dinosaurs

and wants to dig up their bones when he grows up.

Vernal will be the perfect place for him...
