Spring!

It's been good driving weather the last little while. Last weekend Sean and I went for a little drive up around Rockport, and we stopped in at the Spring Chicken Inn for the Big D special. The Big Salad and fries. It was pretty dang tasty. This weekend we went up to check out the cabin and see how much work there is to be done this spring. Doesn't look too bad. We made it through March! The end is in sight. I never got around to having a March party this year. Maybe an April party instead.

I'm so excited. We're starting the Rasmussen Family Monthly Family Night, starting this month. Yay! I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Should be fun.

Brittney registered for next year. She's taking French class so that when we go on the Amazing Race she'll know some French and I'll know some Spanish. We are gonna kill it! I'm extremely navigation-challenged though, so hopefully Brittney can take charge of that part.

Went to the Democratic caucus meeting last week. The one benefit to being a Democrat in Utah is that if you are interested in getting involved, there is plenty of room for you. So I am, once again, my precinct chair, county delegate, and state delegate. It was pretty tough getting appointed to all of those positions, seeing as how I appointed myself. I wasn't sure I was qualified, but in the end I gave me the benefit of the doubt. We actually have two candidates running in our House District, so that's pretty high excitement.

We worked in the yard today. It was so nice! Sean did most of the work, but I planted some red potatoes and onions. It's an experiment. And another primrose. I planted pansies last week so I could have some color in my yard. Love the pansies and primrose in the spring.

March goals: I pretty much sucked. I'd say I did around 50% overall on all of it. I did try to be a little more social, I did something for people outside my family twice out of the four weeks, I ate more treats than necessary, drank more Pepsi than necessary, and not even sure what the other goals were, if any, so that doesn't bode well.

April goals:
Less treats
Limit Pepsi
Work on extended family relationships
Be more consistent with homework/bed time/reading to kids at night

That should do it.

Love it! Amazing race sounds...amazing! You an Brit would be unbeatable!

Good work on the political stuff. That's really cool. It sounds like you nominated the best candidate for the job!

I bought some pansies, too, but they are still sitting in their cartons on the sidewalk. Between all of the spring rain and me being pitiful, I haven't got them in the ground yet. But they are still alive, so maybe it will be ok.

Your goals sound like good ones. Keep it up!

Do you love the amazing race also? We watch as an entire family every Sunday night. I was SO bummed about the cowboys. I hope they do well next week. They are my favs.
