Their own gardens

 

The kids each planted their own little gardens this evening, they each a got a spot right next to our vegetable garden.  I spray painted them each a fence, and they picked out various flowers and seeds to plant in their own gardens.

 

Jaymes has an obsession with flags, so that's his favorite thing in his garden!



 



Isabella put a flag and a fairy in her garden.



 

Jaymes lasted about 3 minutes planting his garden, then he was off playing in his rocks, while Daddy finished the planting.

 

The finished products!

Back to playing peek a boo!

Dazed

Can you tell someone didn't have a nap today??

 

Finally a smile . . . Daddy's home!

Last day of School!

Today was Isabella's last day of Kindergarten, boy did that year go fast!!  She got out of school early, and after several fights over a set of blocks, I decided on an impromptu trip to the lake.  It was just what we all needed!  I didn't even think about bringing sand toys, we left in such a hurry, but it didn't matter, they spent the whole time playing with sticks and throwing rocks in the lake.  It was so fun, and when Monte got home I told him I actually felt like a good mom today.  :)  Because let's face it, there are many days I would like a chance to start the day over again.

 

Procrastinating

I should be getting ready for our very busy (but not all that fun) weekend starting tomorrow, but instead I'm posting pictures on here.  Oh well, I seem to get the most done late at night anyway.  I saved up some of my piano lesson money and my birthday money and purchased a new lens for my camera, I LOVE it!  I had to try it out on my favorite subjects today.

 

 

The girl loves horses!!

T Ball

This summer will be the first time Isabella will be involved in summer rec activities.  She is signed up for T Ball, a summer reading program at the library, and swimming lessons.  Yesterday we got her all the necessary equipment to be able to practice at home.  She fits right in to this baseball loving family, and made her daddy proud at how well she caught on!

 

 

Jaymes had to get in on the action, too.

My Boy

I love his sweet little two year old talk, I love when he tells me things like, "Night night, Angel Mommy", I love how cuddly he is, how he still asks me to rock him sometimes, how he belts out the songs in church.  I love his innocence, and I love seeing the world through his eyes, everything is just so exciting!  I love that his favorite toys are cool whip containers, hangers, and cereal boxes!  Ages 2 and 3 are my very favorite ages, and he's right in the midst of it!  He's such a good boy, but a crazy picky eater!! I love how he only calls Isabella, "Sissa", unless he is comforting her, he says, "Sissa Baby".  He does know how to push her buttons, though, too!  I wish I could slow down time, and keep him like this a while longer.

 

 

 

 

"Reading" a book in Spanish, one of the only remnants of my college days.

 

Eating supper tonight shirtless, after an unfortunate incident involving a lid not properly placed on a sippy cup!

Spring?

We finally got a chance to play outside today, what a welcome relief!  We had another blizzard yesterday, and there's more snow in the forecast for tomorrow, but then  . . . according to my weather app, SPRING at the end of this week!  You know your child is going stir crazy when he asks every day, multiple times a day, "I go to Wal Mart?  I ride in blue cart?  Pwease?"

 

Big Jump!  :)
