April is here

I am so ready for spring. We have had so much wind. We have been busy with Sandra and the boys. They are so much fun. Clay loves to help in the yard with his tractor. With all the wind we have plenty of branches to pick up. Spencer loves to be outside. We spend a lot of time on the porch swing when the wind isn't blowing. Morgan is learning to share and take up for herself with Clay and Spencer. She is saying a few more words too. Sandra is working with her about please and thank you.
We also got most of the garden planted. We have crowder, black eye and zipper peas, corn, green beans, broccoli, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, onions and radishes. We have had enough rain lately that most everything is up. We need some warm weather and no wind. Our biggest peach tree is loaded. We had to knock a few small ones off. The small peach tree is blooming so maybe it will have a few peaches. The lemon trees are blooming too.
Johnny and I worked in the new room this weekend and put down the base boards. I have a little painting touch up to do and put up the wallpaper border and it will be finished on the inside. I can hardly wait to get the furniture set up. I have already put up a quilt in the frame so I can get busy.
Johnny is really ready for school to be out. He says the kids are too. Just a couple of more months. He wants to work on the outside of the new room this coming weekend so we can at least get the west end painted. It has been a long process but we can see the light at the end now. I could never stand the stress of building a whole house. This was quite a learning experience for me.
We celebrated Morgan's second birthday on the 16th. She is really growing. All the grand kids were her and had ice cream cake for Morgan's birthday. We got her a high chair for her doll. She like to make her something to eat and feed her. Spencer started walking and has five teeth. He thinks that he must have some one in the room with him at all times. He like to annoy Morgan by touching her with one finger. You would think he was five years old instead of nearly one.
We are planning to go to Rebecca and Phil's wedding the week after Easter. We are also going on an Alaskan cruise with Mom and her friend Mary. I am looking forward to it. I am not so sure about Johnny.
Must get busy there is always something to do.
