A fun project with Hannah...

so, it is getting warm (not were we live, we have had snow twice this week!)But in some places it is. At church this past Sunday I planted seeds. Now I know this can get expensive but I have a few ideas. First check out your local Dollar Tree, they have seeds. If this doesn't work for you then do a seed swap, with friends, neighbors and family. Really you don't usually need all the seeds you get in a package. As for containers, my seeds are sitting in an egg shell, the top was broken off, egg was used, then shell was cleaned and now it has dirt and seeds, how cool is that? Next weekend at Home Depot I will be building a basket (for free) and that is were my seeds will go to when they are to big for there egg shell. So, do any cousins want to grow plants with me?

Love,
Hannah

Letterboxing

This post is for Cousin Ash and anyone else who wants to explore where they live.
Letterboxing is a fun and basically free hobby. You sign up here (I don't think you have to but we did) http://letterboxing.org/ You give yourself a name. We are "The Party of Five" we made stickers, you could always just write it. Then we bought a stamp, a stamp pad and a notebook. Then you go to the website above, locate where you live and find where boxes are hidden. You do not use GPS for letterboxing. Letterboxes usually take you to beautiful must see places. When you find the box you will find a stamp (some are really awesome handmade stamps) and a notebook, sometimes a stamp pad. You then use their stamp to stamp your book, write down the name of the place. You then stamp their book with your stamp and leave your name for them. If you look through the book you will see messages sometimes and some people leave where they are from. An example is our first box had a stamp from the UK, a couple and their grandchildren where traveling across America and letterboxing as they went. The kids thought it was so cool. Our first box was on the original Route 66 that is not longer used. I didn't even know this place existed. If you sign up you can also make a box and leave it with directions on the web-site for other people to find. We have always wanted to do this. I think we might this summer when we are in Lake Arrowhead. If you go on vacation remember to print out a few locations. Have fun, love Hannah and her mom!

****Any kind of stamp will work:) We got ours at the Dollar Tree, they also sell ink pads and small books.****

I just noticed Hannah and I haven't posted in sometime..

So, what you have missed. Art and I celebrated 19 years, well kind of...for those who don't know this small fact Art and I took the "big leap" on Leap day. Yep, we said I do on 2-29-1992 at 2:29pm, Thanks Pastor Dave! I was a young 19 and Art was a young 23. Of course 7 days later I turned 20, which means this March 7th I turned 39. Last year of my 30's.

I will be signing Jarod up this coming week for FALA the same school Sarah goes to. He will be going into the 7th grade next school year. Jarod is also about 5 feet 9 inches at only 12 people, he is his fathers son. I need to post pictures. Sarah is an incredible young lady, Jarod is turning into a young man and Hannah is well Hannah. On a sad note, Hannah recently ended a 2 year relationship with one of her boyfriends. His name is Chris, I believe he is now 25 maybe 26 years old. Sadly we went to dinner one night and ran into Chris and his date! YEP! he was "cheating" as Hannah put it and she doesn't date cheaters. I just love how this young ladies mind works because Chris is one of several young men that Hannah has as a "boyfriend". Apparently it is OK for her to several boyfriends but they are not allowed to date other girls. So, Hannah will you be breaking up with John anytime soon now that you have met his girlfriend?
