Sunshine-y Day

It was a beautiful day today... I believe it got up to 27 here! And hardly any wind which is always a treat around here.

We were piddling around the backyard and all of a sudden Griffin comes running towards me exclaiming, "mommy, I found our very first dandelion!!".  I will never get tired of receiving weeds as flowers from my kids... hehehe... warms my heart.  Here are some pics of Griff and his find:



 hahaha... say wha?


And obviously my photography skills could use some improvement... one kid has a bucket on his head and none of the other ones are looking my way.  But atleast I remembered to get the camera out and snap a picture of this fun-in-the-sun day!


And this is Fletcher after his nap today.  He was the first one up.  I wish I could've captured all of his stinky-lil-boy essence in this shot.  His shirt is stained with watermelon, his pants are missing, his red hair is all crumpled up on one side, there is sand stuck in the folds of his neck, dirt around his mouth, he's all sweaty, and he's showing off his big buddha belly.  And I could just eat him up... hehehe... what a stinky little ball of love.

Happy Easter... Belated Easter...

I'm really disappointed in the number of posts I've done these days.  And I'm sure you are too... so I'm going to make it my goal to post atleast once a week from now on!  The good news is I have a lineup of photos just waiting to be blogged about so I should be able to come up with several in the next little while.  First though, I thought I should get some Easter shots up since it's already kinda old news.  The Easter bunny hid quite a few little candy-filled eggs for the kids (mostly Griffin).  He had a great time hunting around the house.  And since my parents just returned from Mexico late Saturday night before Easter, my sisters and I took on the task of preparing turkey dinner that Sunday.  Lets just say we have a whole new appreciation for our mom and we have promised her that although we would prefer not to do the whole dinner again ourselves (haha) we will definitely help her out a lot more in the future!
