Springtime.

Spring is here and we have been taking advantage of the nice weather. The kids have been out on the trampoline a lot. It's fun watching them get creative and actually playing all together without fighting! Water balloons were a hit and their newest thing is loading it with tennis balls and seeing how high they can bounce them. They already are working on their tans. Makenzie is darker than I am. I need to get a new swimsuit so I can catch up!

Only 25 days til summer break! I am just as ready as they are. We love to stay up late and sleep in. We will be at the beach a ton this summer so if you call and we're not here, you know where we are!

Happy Spring!

SKATING!

We went to Kayla's 11th birthday party and had a blast. Marley and Garrett got the hang of it and Kenzie rode the scooter all over the place. I even laced up some skates. It's like riding a bike!







EASTER FUN!

Beautiful Bluebonnets



We have a beautiful patch of bluebonnets by our house that blooms every year. I say we're going to stop and take pictures and before I know it, they are gone. This year was a very full patch because of all the rain that we had. The girls and I went by one day and took some cute shots. A week later we stopped by with Garrett and you can see that they are already dying out. We had fun and got some cute shots!

Kenzie's Purplicious Room


We started Makenzie's room make-over during Spring Break. We negotiated for several weeks on which color to paint it. We finally decided on this pretty purple color called Sassy Lilac. It really reminds me of an Easter basket!

Day 1 of painting

We decided to get rid of her day bed and get a twin bed. Here are the girls helping Dad put it together.

Phase 2: The new do-it-yourself headboard project

Ta-da! Makenzie loves her new room.
It was a lot of fun but Mom and Dad are tired now! Next project...Marley's room!
