Spring is in the Air

The grass is green the flowers are blooming and it's warm so we get to play outside more.Ours girls love it when dad gets on the tramp with them.  We put Summer on for the first time.  She loved it but won't sit still she was cruising all over and trying to fall off constantly. I think we will wait for awhile before she gets to play on it again. 

Summer fell of the couch and got a nice shiner! 

Here is day 2 with more of the bruising on her eye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a big rainstorm that left a HUGE puddle in our cul-de-sac.  The girls loved  it!!

Summer has a blast splashing in the water. 

The girls surprised me with a beautiful presentation of the dandelions they had picked.  

 I love their fun creativity!

We have had fun doing yard work and playing at the park too.  Spring is such a fun new season and brings with it an adventurous spirit!

Old Friends

We made a trip to Twin Falls to visit some friends of ours. They have 3 girls like us and it's so fun to have them together. Here they are snuggling on the couch after they woke up. 

This good looking guy is sporting the Giant BSU hat.

Rachel and Ella in their matching swimming suits!! They are a couple week apart and great friends. .  We celebrated Ella's birthday while we were there and Rachel can't wait to be 4 like her ! 

Kinsie and Addie

All the GIRLS!!!

Easter

After a long, fun Easter weekend these two were pretty tired. We went to a fun egg hunt with the kids on Saturday. Then Sunday the Easter bunny surprised us with some fun goodies,  we went to church then headed to our Cousins for dinner and some more egg hunting.

I didn't get all three girls in their dresses.  Before church I just didn't make it happen.  I did get Summer as she sat in her favorite corner. 

These two loaded up their baskets for the 3rd time!

All the kiddos after the egg hunt!

Addie found the last big egg in the fort and slid down to show us.

Spring Break

We decided to head south for Spring Break this year. Me and my sister-in-law loaded our kids up in our van and drove to Arizona for a week to see my other sister-in-law and her family. I don't think I could have done it with anyone else in one nonstop trip, my husband included. Things went great in the car and we had such a great time while we were there. Taking on 7 more people for a week was very kind of them but they were great hosts. The kids LOVED being with there cousins and playing outside. The wonderful 80 degree weather was just what we were looking for!


When the older kids went off to school we hung out at home and I found these girls on this bed a number of times just hanging out!!

Teresa found a great place that lets you try to do Trapeze. She convinced us to go!! I had butterflies every time I stood on the top and had to jump off but after I got the hang of it I loved it! I would definitely do it again.

These girls watched from below and were great supporters!

Here are Summer and Sam. They are 3 months apart and such best buds. They light up when they see each other and I found them sitting on the couch by each other and couldn't pass up the cute picture!

They kids were in love with the pet turtles they had. Elsie is feeding them gold fish crackers, we usually fed them strawberries and just loved watching them.

One day we took the kids to a fun indoor climbing jungle. We had gone the last time we visited and my girls were younger and didn't really like it. I was worried they wouldn't like it again but I was sure wrong. They disappeared when we got there and played so hard. It was fun to see them explore and have fun together. They drug me along a couple times. The babies loved climbing and running around too.

We had such a blast. Thank you Dave and Teresa for such a great week. I wish we had pictures of all the other fun stuff we did. The Pools we swam at, my first taste of sushi, not my favorite thing I might add. The girls jumping roping and riding their bikes around in the back yard for hours, or kids swinging in the hammock in the garage.  Family is so great! I'm so glad we went and made the memories.
