Dress up

having a girl so so fun for me.  This is my dress from when I was little.

And we pulled out all the old dance recital costumes from my childhood.  

She had a blast trying them on. 

And my sweet Drew let me buy a fuchsia plant that reminds me of our Marsibit home.  

The little guys just relish their Daddy when he comes home.  

Emmie girl supervising the backyard ball game.

The boys were estactic about the first lawn mower trip around the yard.  

St. Paddy's day

Grana's can do fun things like this......this poor momma wouldn't let the kids have these from Walmart so Grana mailed them.  

headed to Sam's and this girl is busy working.  

Lunch with these kiddos

more and more this is a common site in the backyard, suns out and shirts off.

puppy loving.

This is probably one of the last times these three will scrubba dub together, and they were all giggles.

My big 7 year old learning how to iron.

And today I am just amazed at this girls' long hair.

School and sprinklers

Luke is busy these days learning his short vowels sounds.

Noah and Anna had a blast watching the bricks be unloaded at the house next door.

This Noah, is just so interested in reading these days.  And i love it.  He's blowing through books.

Anna walking this girl is pretty humorous.

Momma bird sitting on our new little tree out in the yard.

And this afternoon was warm enough for sprinkler fun for these littles.

Spring is blooming

every day is getting warmer and warmer, slowly, look at these two girls.......

we stopped my the mission house to see if our flowers were blooming that we planted.  

Luke is loving the new camping shirts I made for them. 

sweet little kids at Awana Cubbies.

And tracing time with the cookie cutters.

Boys will be boys

The backyard is a a great place to let a little sword fighting steam out.

And get some belly scratches.  

Noah went on a special outing with Momma.   He had literally never been in a carwash before, so I let him sit in the front and get the full experience.  

He said it smelled like bubble gum.

That's some good cereal.

A little light reading this morning.  I love that Anna is like a buggy lady and pushes all her stuff around in the grocery cart.

More from our outing, coke floats......this was a treat for Momma.

homeschool math with dominos.

And sweet brother/sister dancing before sunday school.
