Fresh Air

We are really enjoying this spring weather we've been having. Good news, Abigail is no longer completely annoyed by grass!

Fixing the mower, getting it ready for summer.

I of course tried to get a nice picture of the two of them. Abby is getting pretty good at saying "cheese" and giving me a nice smile, but of course when I asked Caden for a smile, I got a frown (see top picture).

big "cheese" little frown

Caden put on a concert with a song and dance with his mower.

Can you guess what Abby is saying here? She just got done giving Caden a little push, and now she's telling him where to go!

Outside Fun

We are lovin' these few days of spring-like weather!

(gotta love the pot holes on our road)

The kids are all hat, but that's OK!
They love their wagon.

SNOW!?

I'm a little behind on posts...so I'll try catching up now. It's so hard to believe sitting here today with 80 degree weather that last Tuesday we had snow, sleet, freezing rain falling from the sky. Then, the next day it was gone and by Thursday it was in the 70's. I kept saying, "Look at the snow, crazy!" so of course Caden kept looking out the window saying, "Crazy!"

(a little later in the day...and we still got a little more after that)

"Time to Come In!"

We tried to go out on one of the cooler/sunny days last week, but it was just too cold. After being out only 15 min or so, I had a little trouble getting him back in...

He's saying, "Nope, nope, nope" in this picture which is the word that comes out of his mouth most often lately.

Missing the Weather

With 33 degree weather today, we are really missing the weather from last weekend. At least we were able to get out and enjoy it then. These are pictures from last weekend where we were able to try out Caden's wagon from Pappy D and the bike that Caden's Aunt Ju-Ju gave us that her kids used to play with.

Caden took a break from riding his bike to check out the water thing.

Happy Spring!

Happy 1st day of Spring!
These pictures were taken on Wednesday, just one of the really nice days this week. I was in the picture taking mood (when am I not?). We are so ready for Spring. Caden keeps asking to go outside to play, except the other day he asked for Aunt Ju-Ju and the kids to bring snow (he said, "fingers crossed" and everything) since they had a lot in their area.

He's trying to cup his hand over his eyes like you do when you are trying to block the sun to see...something I showed him the other day.

A goofy picture...

He got this bubble blower for his birthday from us, but I think we're returning it. It doesn't work as well as we hoped.

A Whale of a Time

While Jason, Jim, and Brooks put together the swing set, Caden and I played with his toys on the deck. We tried out his new whale teeter-totter from guess who...Aunt Justine, Uncle Randy, and kids. He wasn't too sure when he was on one end and I on the other, but he was OK in the middle.

Kirby Park

We decided to get out and enjoy the nice weather we had by having a picnic in the park with Jason's parents. We decided on Kirby Park, where I had never been before. It's a nice little park. Just watch out for not so nice bike riders!

Caden actually sat while we ate...as long as he had something to eat too.


"Here Mommy, have a clothespin."

A little fussy...he didn't want to fall down.

"What do I do with this?"

"Is this right?"

He actually did put the ball on the racket himself. I know...so smart!

There was a little petting zoo with ponies behind where we ate.

"Look Daddy!"

Here's a little video of Caden with his bubble mower. He's down at the end, but you'll notice he didn't let go!
