Spring

Oh how I love Spring. This year seems to be extra wonderful after being buried in snow and enduring frigid temperatures for 4 months straight. I love the beautiful budding trees and bushes with their greens, pinks, reds, and whites. It is has been fun to watch the grass turn from crispy brown too a nice soft, lush green. I love feeling the sun on my face...I could do without the wind gusts though, and I love the spring storms at night. This year I am testing out my green thumb and have planted a few things in pots around the yard...we'll see how well they do! The boys enjoy helping us water all the plants each day.
We have also made it a point to add a few play things to the backyard for the boys to occupy their time and energy with, so far it seems to be working. Play lawn mowers, a sandbox, a small swingset, frisbee, baseball, and bubbles...we keep them busy! We make it a point to go outside as much as possible on the nice days, and have enjoyed playing lots and lots with our neighbors and their two girls. The boys seem to think that if we are outside it is mandatory to be playing with them...sorry! Here are a few Springtime fun pictures!

Yay spring! I know that I appreciate spring so much more living here (than in CA), it just feels SO GOOD to be outside after the long, cold winter.

Y'all have the cutest kids ever! Yay for spring! I hope summer isn't too hot and humid for you. We are supposedly going to have our first triple digit temp down here tomorrow. Do you wish you were back here?!
