Spring is almost here!

We've been busy planning our garden for spring! Turns out that Las Vegas is a great place for growing a large list of vegetables thanks to our extra long seasons. Dave built a new box, and it is big enough to hold the veggies we're testing out this year! These include: Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Zucchini, Carrots, Green Beans, Lettuce Mix, Red Peppers, Jalapenos, small cherry and grape tomatoes. On the other side of our yard, we have a smaller box that housed our herb garden last year. We're starting from seed this time round, and we'll have cilantro, basil, parsley, chives, and rosemary. I did some searching and found an amazing seed company in Vermont that has a great history of producing amazing organic seeds. Check them out:

I'm looking forward to learning more about organic gardening through trial and error. There's a thousand seeds in a pack which is all the motivation I need to keep on trying!

A Valentine Tradition

A tradition started at our beautiful co-op is to swap hearts with all of our friends in honor of Valentines Day! Jacob likes taking his time picking out the perfect heart shaped item for the collections, while others like to spend hours making their homemade hearts. I couldn't let the tradition end! 
Thanks to everyone (including awesome husbands) who gave their Valentines morning to the kids and their tradition! It was a beautiful day for friends, hearts, and make-believe spies!
 
My boys made me a delicious heart shaped pancake breakfast and homemade Valentines! 
The boys were put to bed a bit early and Dave spoiled me with an AMAZING candle lit dinner! Sesame seed crusted Ahi tuna steaks and perfectly baked molten chocolate cake for dessert. 
He even surprised himself when we cut into the cake and saw the ooey gooey chocolate at the center! 
I love being the only girl in the house! Happy Valentines Day to all! 
Who cares that it's a greeting card holiday, I'm lovin' it!
