Swim lessons

The kids have been in swim lessons since January and are such water bugs. They look forward to lessons every week and have advanced so well. Fun to watch their new skills and all of their improvement. They are twice a week in the evenings and the kids are very tired on those evenings by the time we get home.

Sprinklers..

Look at that smile
I think I will stand right in front of it
silly green grass (and cold) kids

They just couldn't reisist... I had just finished doing chores for the evening and we were headed inside for bathes as it was after 8pm on Monday. Kasey turned the sprinklers on the lawn after he had finished mowing. So combination of fresh cut grass, kids and the sprinklers was all too tempting. By the time they were done they had green grass all over them and looked like they had green fur. So into the shower they went. Boy did they have good time...

Kaitlyn & Tessa

These girls love to play together! Tessa came and spent the afternoon with us recently. Grant is totally attached to Tessa and just follows her around like a puppy.

Dailey's visit

A few weeks ago Miss Dailey came to stay with us overnight. Kaitlyn and Grant were SO excited to have their cousin come to their house. Dailey loved to sit with Kasey and wanted to hang out with him also. When I got up in the morning Kaitlyn had already got Dailey out of the plan pen and was changing her diaper. Kaitlyn is growing up and has a great sense of independence. It was fun having Dailey stay with us and hope it will be the first of many overnight adventures.

Blessed....

Throughout the chaos of the day, the running around on the weekends, the chores, and it all... Here are my little angels... No matter how often their memory cards seem to have been misplaced, how many spills on the carpet, or how much mommy is just exhausted at the end of the day---I simply am blessed to have such wonderful, kindhearted, outgoing, and loving children.

Kiley's birthday party

My friend Kristy's daughter Kiley turned 4 in March. Here are some cute pictures of the kids watching her open up presents. Kristy, Kiley and Jason live in Eprata now and we really miss them although they will soon have their hands full with a new little one who should be here any day now. We can't wait to meet him!
