Springtime for Richards

Since I've gotten really big on scrapbooking I'm amazed at how much I've been able to depend on my blog to let me know about little details that I forgot. If it wasn't for keeping this blog I wouldn't have remembered all these dates to do this page.

Then today one of my friends on facebook was talking about her sick daughter and it was sounding an awful lot like when Asher had to go to the hospital. I was able to go back to the blog and give her some little details that have helped her a little bit. Maybe I should just keep a journal but right now I'm thinking my blog is pretty awesome. Good news is you'll probably start hearing from me more often cause this is killing two birds with one stone; updating family on our Colorado happenings and working as a journal.

Onto my regular scheduled posting.

{FYI blogger just changed their editor again so it allows video uploads but the picture uploads is CR-A-ZY awesome!}

On Sunday my sister-in-law posted pictures of her spring in Virginia and I wanted to show off a little bit myself of what things are looking like here in Colorado. Tulips and dandelions are popping up everywhere, the trees are covered with white, pink and red blossoms and it's heavenly. I always hated spring in Arizona because it meant summer was fast approaching but here I can sit with the door open and watch the kids chase the wild rabbits and roll around in our beautiful green grass.

Saturday was a Relief Society Humanitarian aid day and I was talking with another lady from Arizona and she was saying how she misses her family all the time but she could never move back because it's just too beautiful here. I told her how a sister-in-law was rubbing in the awesome AZ weather in January or February to me and this lady said to me "we always get the last laugh." Ha! So we'll see if I can convince some summer visitors to join us here in our drama-free state of Colorado, or at least Fort Collins.


On Friday was Jocelyn's school carnival and we had a blast. It was a sock hop so Jocelyn wanted to dress in a poodle skirt. I did my best. We got our faces painted, candy, strawberry floats, and played games.

This week I am focusing on finishing up my last class, Financial Business. I'm taking a 59 day break from school to have this baby and I'm so excited! I've been buying all the little things that need to be purchased for a brand new baby; socks, little blankets, diapers, hairbows... it's been fun. I'm also working on a small business idea. I'll announce it soon when I have it all ready to go. I'm really hoping I found my niche.

Coming soon... Asher's haircut.
