So here it is, three days into spring and we've had a beautiful snow storm this morning. The last few days have been quite chilly. And I miss the sun.
It has been so nice to have the sun and now we get a storm. It was so fun to be outside with Joseph last week. He enjoyed the sun and the plants and the trees and the birds. He loves birds. He can hear a bird and find it before I've even realized there are birds around. He will watch them fly and try to catch them when they land. He also can tell you where all the fire hydrants are around our house. I don't know how he knows, but he does.
We've been working on the house and the yard lately. Unfortunately the people who lived here before we did didn't do anything in the yard. The back yard has a couple groupings of trees with flowers around them and a big area for a garden and compost area. The flower beds are covered with weeds. Most of them taller than Joseph. The trees (aspens) have little seedlings and some not so little seedlings all around them. There are some bulbs planted but I have pulled many of them out with all the raking for leaves and weeds. I'm hoping we can get this taken care of and have a lovely yard this year.
When we get some things done, I will put up some photos. I love having a big yard, I just wish I didn't have to be the one to take care of it.

Our life
So we have been feeling the economic squeeze lately. Luckily Joseph has been looking for a job to help out. 
He tried out botany but he really doesn't know much about plants.
He looked at sunbathing, but he was just too cool and everyone wanted to stare at him. But not much money to be had.
He tried laughing and showing off his six teeth. But no one pays people much for that. At least not at our house.
He thought maybe he could save us money by taking water out of the hydrants. But he doesn't have the right tools and the water comes out too fast for him to utilize it.
He thought he could sell pictures of our family, but no one was interested.
Here he is taking a shower after a long day of being cute and looking for a job.
Finally he just decided to help around the house. He became a dishwasher and helps us stay happy and enjoy the little things.
For those who can't tell, this post was mainly an excuse to show cute pictures of Joseph. He is growing up so fast.

Yeah for spring
So I am so looking forward to spring. Joseph is loving going outside on the days when the sun is shining. He loves to watch the community chickens and play in the grass. We have rocks and gravel on our driveway, he loves to pick them up and put them in his mouth. Usually when he comes in the house we have to empty out his mouth.
He is growing so much. Josh is trying to teach him Spanish and he can point to most of his body when asked in English or Spanish. He has also learned to fold his arms and will do so when asked. Unfortunantly he only does it for a second or two and usually ends up yelling during the middle of the prayer when he thinks everyone has held still for long enough.
On another note, we got our cabinets finished and now the kitchen looks so much better. I don't have a picture of it, but I will add it soon. I hope that we can get more of our house finished within the next few months. It will be so nice to have Joseph sleep in his own room. He is a noisy sleeper.
Hopefully I can get some pictures up soon. I keep forgetting to download them. I just hope Spring sticks around for a long time.
