spring planting...

Today has been absolutely lovely in terms of weather, so we decided to be outside as much as possible. We raked the grass (or Carter raked and I tried to rake :)  ), picked up sticks, mowed the lawn and planted some edible delights. :)

Below are some pictures of the results!

Cilantro, sweet basil, lemon basil and sage in the left pot, and a container tomato plant in the right pot.

Red pepper, green pepper and jalapeno's in the left pot and rosemary, oregano and mint in the right. 

We really have no clue what we are doing, and are a little scared of what the rabbits that run rampant in the back yard will do, but we thought we could at least enjoy them for a little bit as they are!

Spring has sprung!

I've been really antsy for warmer weather so I can ride my bike outdoors. The only problem was I have COMPLETELY worn my tires down to the threads...

The inner tubes still held air, but I wouldn't feel comfortable riding on the road like this anymore!

Yesterday was the first beautiful spring day and I just couldn't resist getting ready to ride outside again. 

I now have new tires and was even able to get a short ride in before sundown. hooray!

     

MAC CHAMPS!

Now that I have a job at a bank, I don't have as many free hours to blog! The next few posts will all be things we have done/been a part of since our parents visited in February (that's right, a month and a half ago!)

Carter's season just ended after a fantastic run in the post-season. Post-season play began in Cleveland with the MAC tournament. Ball State upset Bowling Green in the last minute of the Championship Game, earning the teams first ever trip to the NCAA tournament. The game was SO STRESSFUL, but so fun at the same time (It helped that we won)! My parents surprised me by coming to the game on their way home from Philadelphia, and I have been kicking myself for not getting a picture with them at the game!

The game was at the Q, where the Cavaliers play, so that was a fun environment to be in as well. 

Here are some pics from the games...

Carter cutting down the net!

MAC Champs! Time to celebrate :)

Carter continues to test his cake baking/decorating skills. This cake actually made the newspaper. It was part of the NCAA selection show festivities :) oh yeah, it tasted really good too!
