The Good Life

We have had some of the most beautiful weather this March! It is hard to believe we have already reached 80 degree temperatures. Needless to say we have been spending LOTS of time outside!! Spring Blooms make me smile! Avery loves to climb!  She was looking for the turkeys we kept hearing. With the arrival of spring comes storms and strong winds.  Unfortunately, the wind got the best of our trampoline a few weeks ago...we even had it staked down.  The kids are so heartbroken!! My big girl reading to my little girl!  This picture melts my heart!! Oakley had been playing with his Cowboys and Indians More spring blooms. My Dad's old triumph...he is working on restoring it. Papa and Oaks Lakelyn making sure that River is following behind. Discussing Lakelyn's toes. Playing with Papa one Sunday after church. How he loves his matchbox cars! Hopefully we won't have too many of these in our yar...

I LOVE to read!  My sister let me borrow these 3 books recently and I seriously couldn't not put them down!  Thanks for the recommendation Katie!!

Spring!

I am so glad I had the pleasure of taking this little beauty's one year pictures.  She is such a doll and I can't believe she is about to be ONE!!  Happy birthday Jovie Rose!  We love you!!! These next few pictures were taken in her Mommy's dress and shoes.  Gino (Jovie's Mommy)  had her picture taken in this same dress, sitting in a red chair around the same age.  Isn't that so sweet!?!

Our Handsome Little Man!   Oaks Jumping! Lakelyn Nicole Jumping! Springtime sunsets are sure beautiful!

"Music is a moral law.  It give soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."  ~Plato  My Dad has a love for music and he owns hundreds of records.  He has even given me a few of them though out the years.  When I look or listen to them it always reminds me of my Dad.  He is the type of person that will forever have music playing.  As a kid, he and my mom would dance in the living room with Katie, Daniel and I.  I loved those moments and cherish those memories from my childhood.  Thank you for the music Dad and teaching me to dance!  I love you!  

Since Avery was out of school last Monday we deiced to take the kids to Great Wolf Lodge for a long weekend.  It was such a neat place and the kiddo's had a blast!  I think they were pretty much exhausted by Monday and so were Jason and I.  However, it was so much fun and we can't wait to go back!   Following the Links...Great Wolf or Bust!  They sure did sleep good at night!  Of course Oaks is still awake!  Avery and Allie loved the Lazy River, but there was nothing lazy about it when they were going around!  Waiting for the waves to start! The kids loved the "hot pool" as they called it. She couldn't take anymore...it was time for a nap!
