A paradise in the desert.

We are so proud of our backyard, its amazing that things grow when you give them water!
I have also learned that the strongest and best plants are steamed from seeds or bulbs. Especially when it comes to our Ranunculus! they are like a whole foot taller than the ones we got at home depot! they are my little fireworks! flower explosions!

See a youtube tour of our little backyard {paradise in the making} here.

Harbor cruise...

A week ago, we spend part of spring break in california. My lovely grandparents just happened to be there from Utah as well. One of my favorite days involved cruising on an electric boat around the harbor...
Chris was our tour guide and "Skipper"
there were tons of seals basking on docks....
and floating on their backs.
lots of fun company.
