Just can't get enough!

Happy Easter

There's a story that started on Christmas,
When a baby was born in the night.
And those who came far-who followed the star
Were seeing a heavenly sight.
The years hurried by, and the boy, now a man,
Could make the blind see with the touch of his hand.
He was born to be King-he was Rabbi and Priest.
But the best that he had, he gave to the least.

He was born and he died-almost 2000 years ago.
He laughed and cried- he felt all the fears we know.
He hated injustice- he taught what is right.
He said, "I'm the Way and the Truth and the Light."
His friends soon believe that he was the one,
The Savior, Messiah; in fact, God's own Son.
But others, they doubted, they did not agree.
So they took him, they tried him; he died on a tree.

God has made a way for all who mourn and grieve.
Death will never be the end, if you just believe.
There's nothing to fear, nothing, heaven knows,
For he died for us to give us life, and to give us hope, he rose.
  
From the Veggie Tales Easter Carol.

Poor mans green house

We built a poor mans green house (at least that's what I call it!) this past weekend.  It turned out pretty darn nice.  It has three planting boxes in it.  We are planing to put the plants that need a warmer, drier climate in the green house.  This would include Jesse's 72 tomato plants that we have started in the house! Yes, he went a little over board; we will be down sizing!    It still gets to cold at night to put the plants in the green house.  Hopefully it will start warming up soon.

Here is my dad and Jesse working on the green house

Seth enjoying some outside time as well~!

Getting ready...

Lately we have been spending time getting ready for the gardening season! Building garden boxes (10) , collecting seed weed, getting the dirt ready etc...  We have been starting some seeds (Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers and squash) inside hoping to give them more of a chance.  We are learning how to garden in south east Alaska; it can be tricky.  One book that has been a huge help is Gardening Southeast Alaska made by the Juneau Gardening Club.



We even started a garden journal where we write down the type of seeds used.  With so many different variety of seeds we are trying to find which ones work better up here.

Our deck gets incredible sun; Jesse built these garden boxes for the top rails. This is where difference lettuces/ leafy greens, herbs and flowers are going.

Doctors, laughing, play group and seeds ohh my.

Seth is checking out the sights
Seth and I went to his first "well baby" check up.  He's healthy and happy.  Seth gained three inches in height. He will be three months by the end of next week!  (amazing)   He sure is a strong little guy!

Seth is also starting to laugh.  Today was the first time I heard him make his little laugh.  So cute.


Little man also went to his first play group today as well.  (I know busy day for him!)   Our church started a play, every Friday 3-4pm ages 0-3 we meet in the nursery to play, talk etc... 







Getting ready for the gardening season!  We are hoping to get things started on the garden this weekend!  Here are some seeds that my dad has started.  He trust me enough to keep the grow lights and plants at my house!  (some have died :(


Tomatoes under the grow lights.
