THE SUN CAME OUT

We are SOOO excited to have the snow finally melting away.

This winter has been entirely too long.

Sidney LOVED going down the slide.

Cayden, Sidney & Prestyn all LOVED riding in the wagon, they didn't love taking the time to pose for pictures though. The boys got bored with my photo taking & found a stick & a little spot of water & were fishing. All of a sudden they'd yell "FISH ON"

The Gator, or as Prestyn calls it the "agigator" is always entertaining.

THE JOY OF MY LIFE!

These 3.

I don't need to say much more.

They are so full of energy, and fun!

I just love seeing them together & loving each other.

and squirming to escape said "love" and "hugs"

My helper

Sidney just HEARS the dishwasher open & she's RIGHT there, pulling up to stand & watching whats going on.

Hopefully as she gets older she continues to want to help with the dishwasher!!

the CLOWN sprinkler

Oh my soul....I'm so excited.

My great Aunt Ella had this little gem sitting in her garage collecting dust.

She gave it to Grammie & Papa to give to me, for the kids.

Ryan.....do you remember this??

We had this sprinkler when we were little.

What happened to that one MOM?

The hat shoots up in the air when the water turns on.

I can't wait to see it in action this summer, I think we'll be having ALOT of fun in the sun & water. (can you tell I'm over the snow & winter??)

I remember Ryan (my brother) taking the hat off & sitting on the clown's head.

What a nerd.

So Mr. Clown is sittign in OUR garage now, waiting paitently for our 1st summer day of sunshine & sprinkler fun!

Her first REAL ponytail

My sister gave me a few tiny little rubber bands & I just had to try putting a pony in Sidney's lack of hair.

She HATED it, but I thought it was kinda cute.

SOMEBODY likes ice cream!

We just had a fundraiser for our local MOPS group & of course we had to buy ice cream!!

Guess who LOVES it??

Yep, the Sidster.

She saw it come out & was fussing & whining, until we gave her a taste....then she was HAPPY!! Until the ice cream ran out...then she was mad!

Another happy customer!

Sunshine & Snow?

Hard to believe we had sunshine & SNOW at the same time, but we did.

We managed to get the kids our for awhile to get some fresh air.

The Sidster wasn't sure what to think.

The boys, well they LOVE the snow. Especially when they can walk on top of it.

My girl & I!

Check out this little cutie!!

Awe, and some love from Daddy. Life doesn't get much better than this!!
