Spring days.

Our days have been filled with a lot more than just 

'working on the new room'.

It has been so nice to get out and chat with friends

& give some attention back to ours kids at night!

We called up some friends & they told us we should swing in to their house on the lake.

And we're so glad we did.  

Because look at what they set up in their backyard!

Here's Luke taking a stab at the 'jumping thing'.

 Then our daring one (Adler) decided he wanted to give it a shot.

Then he never got off!

 This past weekend we had friends over for supper.

We live in the same town and rarely get to see each other.

It's always funny how and why that happens, but it does!

They also brought us our latest favorite...Red Lobster biscuit mix!!!

Yes, it's true.  I think they buy it at Sam's Club & they taste just like (no kidding) the ones

at the restaurant.

I think I know what my dad is going to get for his birthday.

And we're enjoying the new room!

Doesn't get much better than that.

Reading some books in our new window seat.

The only thing left is to put the brick on the fireplace

and that is occuring right now. 

Here's Luke working on my favorite part of the room.

My pendant light!!!

It's spectacular.  Maybe even...unbelievable!

I love it. 

There she is in all her glory. 

And this is how she hangs.

Ohh to die for! 

My sister & nephew skipped a day of kindergarten & came to visit.

It was a morning full of swimming & birthday wishes to the new 7 year old, Gabe.

The boys picked out his gift...a bug catching net & a bug wrangler.

Then they had to stop playing for a moment to get a snack (of course).

Snacks, snacks, snacks.  

I think kids could just live off snacks (well mine anyway!). 

Someone didn't get a nap & later that day I found this on the couch! 

Reading books in the new living room.

Do we even have another living room???

Because I will always be in the new one! 

Grandma stopped by after work to play a little & read books too. 

We gave Vance a sippy cup

& he mastered it on the first try.

That's our parental sign that he's ready to be a big boy already!

Ohh man, where did the time go?

(I love only his one foot under the high chair! haha) 

Happy Spring...FINALLY! 

Let's get some summer weather coming now.

I need the heat!
