First Swim!

Mid-March (I'm falling a little behind on my blog), and the summer games have begun!
Does this mean we are going to have a hot summer season? We filled up the little pool and placed it at the end of the slide. Charlie was at our house that day.

Willow was thrilled to have a "tub" outside! Even if it was a really dirty one ;)

I was watering the lawn. The kids found the sprinklers pretty quick..........

Later in the day the kids found another activity to play......

Willow ran to follow suit........

Hot diggity dog, a day well spent :) 

Hello Spring!

St. Patrick's Day flew by with my little leprechaun ;)

 I feel like I'm still scrambling, as time eludes me. Tornado Willow tries her best to keep me busy and keep my attention. Although the other day I realized as I was making lunch that she was really quiet. I walked around the house looking for her; even went outside thinking she's popped out there really quick. Nope. Hmmmm. Curious. I went back again to Ava's room after hearing shuffling. I looked on Ava's top bunk to see Willow's large mischievous smile.
lol I had to run to grab my camera then we both had a good laugh. Oh boy, does she remind me of how Ava used to be at that age......

All fun and games until someone can't get down.... ha!
Good thing mom was around to assist ;) 

Ava, Isaac, and I went to Ely one night with friends. We tried out the new playground equipment. Afterwards we went to dinner and bowled a couple of games.

Isaac and Ava beat my score...... Ha!

 March 19th, Bryan had the hardware removed from his tibia and fibula. The surgery took a half an hour and now he's on the road to recovery. My mom watched the kids.
It only takes surgery for us to get a date night ;)
lol

I'm itching to improve the soil in my garden. I have much work to do and I probably won't get around to it until mid-April; hopefully sooner.
My forsythias are in their spring wardrobe. Beautiful. Also, my peach tree has blossoms for the first time this year!

 Snakes are out of hibernation.........

Must be Sssssssssssssspring! 

Winter Carnival 2015

The Winter Carnival, a fundraiser for the local schools, had an astronaut theme this year. It's always fun to see how the stage in Baker Hall will be decorated. Of course the food, games, and friends are always great too! There was good turnout.

Below is the Garrison School Astronauts:

All us parents created a space themed game booth:

As you can tell by the kid's faces, they looked forward to this event all week!
We managed to get a family photo, which was great :)

Another Winter Carnival passes us by.......
