Happy Irishness!

I have been very sick these past two weeks! I hope I will be getting over it very soon. I hope everyone enjoys our new blog theme. I know that it isn't spring yet but looking at everyone's St. Patrick's Day backgrounds got me thinking of spring, flowers, clovers, rainbows, and everything warm and sunny. Josh and I planted our paper white narcissus a couple weeks ago and they are starting to bloom! I love plants and having blooming flowers in our dining area is wonderful! I haven't taken any pictures of them but here is a picture from the Web of what our flowers will look like.

I bought the bulbs pretty cheap at wal-mart after it was too late to plant them. If you put them in a bag (So it is dark) in the fridge you can trick them into blooming indoors, anytime of the year. Just make sure they are in the fridge for at least a couple weeks. Then you can plant them in soil in a pot, or in a vase with rocks. If you decide to use the vase make sure the water level stays at the bottom of the bulbs. If you have too much water the bulbs with rot out. That is what happened to my Lilies. Once the roots start growing it gets easier to determine where the water level should be. If you try it let me know how it goes! After our flowers really start blooming I will post a picture! So even though it is still winter and February I want to say Happy Spring and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Enjoy the Irish tunes!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

For Valentine's Day We decided to go to the beach! The weather was amazingly beautiful! It was sunny and there was no wind at all! Too bad for the kite though! We had a great time and got to take some really cool pictures. The waves at this beach were crazy! They were so huge. We have decided that we are going to go to that beach every Valentine's Day and make a heart in the sand! We hope everyone had a great holiday! We love you!
Love Sam, Josh, Copper, and MJ!

Peaceful

Winter Blues

Josh and I have both been sick! Since we have both been taking vitamins I was hoping we had missed it. It is not fun! When one of us gets better the other starts all over again. Other than that nothing really exciting has happened with us. Isaac our nephew was able to come visit with us for a couple days. It was fun having him here. Sometimes I forget how funny little kids can be! Isaac was pretty much hilarious he had us laughing the whole time he was here.
I started doing some family history, and I am really getting into it. I called my Grandma Pat and she was helping me figure things out. She has a big book with a whole bunch of information in them. It is exciting!
Josh has passed his 90 days mark at work! It isn't his favorite place but he is making the most of it. Josh is starting to work out and get fit because he is going to apply at the Oregon State Police Academy. He wants to be a fish and game warden, and they have a program that he is interested in. He still wants to do Taxidermy too! He is also working on getting his fur bearers license so he is almost official.

This is a picture I took when we drove to Portland to pick up Jordan Eliason.
