Easter Weekend

So these are almost a month late, but I love some of these pictures. We had a wonderful Easter weekend. My brother, Jared, and his family came down. It was a bit chilly outside, but that didn't deter us from outside fun!!




David stuck in the mud




He really was stuck. I tried to pull him out and we couldn't get the boots out. My dad actually had to come get his boots out of the mud.






Egg Coloring





The three little Easter Egg Hunters


Anyway, lots more pictures, but this is probably my longest post ever. We had lots of fun together!!

HOORAY FOR SPRING!!!

I wish that I could explain my excitment about Spring. I absolutely LOVE it!!! Here are a few of my favorite Spring things:
  1. FLOWERS!! Yesterday, I was sitting at the computer working and my sweet little David came in with a big bouquet of purple and yellow flowers. They smelled so good!!!
  2. GARDENS!! Today we walked up to the garden. We have onions growing. The spinach and lettuce are also out. We are waiting for the peas and potatoes to make their debut. I love the garden and all the delicious things it brings.
  3. SUNSHINE!! I love warm weather. I love long bright days. Maybe I belong in someplace tropical.
  4. GREEN!!! The grass is so green I could turn into a cow. Perhaps the fact that I'm pregnant, automatically turns me into a cow. I have more than 7 stomachs when I'm pregnant. I can out eat any man. It's quite disgusting!!
  5. BABY ANIMALS!! All of our cows are having baby calves. I love how cute and soft they are! It's fun to watch them run and swish their tales. They just look like they are haviing such fun.
  6. WALKS!! Spring also brings back our daily walks. The boys absolutely love being outside. If I didn't have to work, I think we'd be outside all of the time.
  7. WARM RAIN!! Maybe I'm a little crazy, but I love the rain. I love to sit on the porch and listen to the rain. I also love the way everything smells after it rains. Fresh and clean. And, more green comes out. Just can't beat it!
  8. BULLFROGS!! So maybe another little crazy confession, but we all love to sit on the porch and listen to the frogs "chirp." It's like one of those weird family traditions. Maybe I should sing a country song about it. My dad is so obsessed with his frogs. He has a million of them in our pond. If anyone attempts to mess with his frogs, they are in major trouble.

I know there are lots more spring things that I love, but there's my top 8. :) HAPPY SPRING!!!
