Spring Farm Day!

Every year we look forward to Spring Farm Day at Landmark Park.

It is one of our favorite days of the year.

My sister Lisa and her family, my parents, and my crew

all went this year and had a wonderful time.

Nicholas, Jake, Cole, Nolan, and Scout

Can't wait until next year!

Give Me an "A"!

This little guy gave me all A's... AGAIN!

Another perfect report card!

Way to go Jake!

We are so proud of you, and we love you so much!

Say a Prayer

My little sister called this morning in tears because her little boy Nolan has been sick. What started as a simple stomach virus quickly progressed to something more serious, and he is now in the hospital being treated for dehydration. He is extremely lethargic, and they can't get him to eat or drink. He is on IV fluids now. Hopefully he will be better soon.

We love you Nolan!

Weekend Discoveries

We had a wonderful, low-key, simple weekend,

and we discovered a few things along the way.

Pigtails are absolutely adorable!

Dads are wonderful coaches! Moms and grandparents are great cheerleaders!

Baseball is fun!

(Even if you're not on the team!)

And...

Spongebob pajamas are really cute (if you are four years old!)

Hope you had a great weekend, too!

TGIF!

It is Friday afternoon! School is out!

The weather is beautiful, and we are ready for the weekend!

Sunshine and Rain

I took this picture of Cole yesterday outside the library. I love the sunshine on his sweet face. He saw this dandelion and wanted to make a wish. Precious.

I miss the sunshine today. It has been raining all day with severe thunderstorms and tornado watches. It is crazy how drastically the weather can change in one day. School even dismissed early, but despite the bad weather, we made the best of it. Popcorn, a movie, blankets, three kids, and one mom snuggled on the couch. Kind of makes me love the rain, too.

I took Scout and Cole to the library today after I picked them up from school. Jake needed a few more books to finish up his independent reading log for school. He loves to read, but he isn't too crazy about going to the library. He would rather play outside after school so we went before we picked him up. I think this is Scout's favorite place; she was so excited. Cole likes it too, but mainly because they have a train table to play with! Scout loves to look at the books. She would stay in the library for hours. She looked at about 100 books before making her final selections. We ended up checking out 20!
