Spring has arrived

We have been having spring-like weather for a few weeks now, but I was always afraid to say "spring has come!" for fear that it would suddenly get shy and disappear. And we wouldn't want that, would we?! ;) Well, I can now proudly (and loudly) announce that spring is here!! The trees are growing leaves, we have beautiful flowers in our yard...okay, maybe they aren't in our yard per say, but they are close enough;) I don't think our neighbors would mind me pretending that just for once I actually have something pretty in my yard. Sorry bushes, I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but lets be serious, you could use a little TLC and someone who has a green thumb...and that goes for you too grass...sigh...one of these days we will have a nice yard and keep it nice...one of these days. For now we will rejoice that our neighbors have green thumbs and beautiful flowers for the girls to enjoy:)

On one of these Spring like days last week, the girls spent some time admiring the flowers in the yard. They loved them (and loved being outside)! They played hard and we worked hard to get Kendall to not pick the pretty flowers! We wouldn't want to lose all the pretty growth so soon! Here are some pictures Andy took while playing with the girls.

I'm sure the girls were trying to figure out what these beautiful things sticking out of the ground were and why we didn't have any! ;)

taking a break from it all... oh, who are we kidding, she's escaping from Kendall;) Sure dad, I will be in the picture!


Oh Kendall...don't pick that...can I blame the lack of "prettiness" in our yard on the kids?? Ok, maybe not...if I could keep it alive long enough, then maybe...

Happy Spring to you all!! And if we suddenly go back to winter...sorry! ;)
