Playing Catch-up!

I know I haven't posted pics in a few weeks, but i'll make up for it today!

Grammy, Suzanne, and Grace flew in on Thursday of last week to visit and they left on Sunday. As always we had lots of fun and even went yard sale-ing on Saturday. Ben was so kind to stay home with the kids, but we rewarded him with 2 new big tools that he's wanted for a while now :)

On Thursday night was Wyatt's preschool graduation--it was really cute!

On Friday we visited the tea room in town for lunch (this is becoming a tradition for any time Grammy visits)...it's a wonderful place and the kids love it--we do, too!

On Friday night was Natalie's dance recital. While it didn't go too well, we enjoyed ourselves (at least I think we did!). I didn't get any decent pictures b/c she didn't want to be there and wasn't really cooperating!

Can you tell that these kids love dirt?

I will have lots of pictures up after the weekend. Wyatt has preschool graduation on Thursday, Natalie has her dance recital on Friday. Grammy, Suzanne, and Grace are coming on Thursday. We are so excited to see them!

Ben is changing jobs in the coming weeks so we need lots of prayer! He has been offered another job that will give him a promotion in position...but it will still be a drive.

We had absolutely beautiful weather this pastweekend--in the 70's both days! Hard to imagine that a week ago we had snow flurries!

Ben and I worked in the yard on saturday moving the kids swingset and mowing, then planning what to do to prepare the garden (we're having a big one this year!).

The kids had a great time playing on their bikes and most of all, in the dirt! At the end of the day we had a fire to burn some brush off and roasted lots of marshmallows! We reminded each other how blessed we are to finally have a big yard for the kids to play in.

See Natalie..right here is where you dig.

And this is what you find...

Tee Ball

Wyatt had his first Tee Ball practice today...he loved it! He was so excited that Ben was there to help him and be a part of his team :) He's such a good daddy!

And Natalie, doing her part to cheer on her big brother (and play in the grass!)

We had a great day yesterday! The kids played in the sand and we planted some pansies! The weather was awesome!!

more snow

crazy! we had the most yet...about 8-9 inches last friday. but the sun is shining and temps are rising now, so hopefully i'll be able to post some spring pics again soon!

Finally!

Sunshine! And temps in the 60's!!!! The kids and I had a picnic on the swingset that Grammy and Papa got them last fall, then started some seeds for our garden. We were blessed with a beautiful day!!

And just a silly pic of Bailey Dog :)
