Tractor Driving

 Last Sunday Maggie was dying for a chance to drive the lawn mower around the yard. So Rock gave her a little driving lesson.

 And you can't possibly give one sister a lesson without giving the other one a lesson.

Or the other one.

So thankful to have sunny, lawnmowing weather.

A jumping princess, a flipping fairy and some colorful volcanoes

Sleeping beauty has re-discovered the trampoline and we can hardly keep her off of it.

Rain or shine, this is where she wants to be. Preferrably dressed as a Disney character.

Tinkerbell learned how to do a front flip on Easter

so the tramp is where she prefers to spend all her free time too.

 

One of the few pictures I have with a head attached.

All my other pictures she was jumping so high her head kept getting cut off.

My three girls. Lu isn't much into the princess costumes anymore. Basketball shorts are much more her style.

Love this crazy girl!

Thanks to Grandma's super fun grab bag for Easter we acquired this awesome Science kit. Sam, the lil' girls and I had some mind-blowing Science fun this morning. We did a couple experiments out of the kit and then Sam taught the girls how to make colored volcanoes in a cup. They were mighty impressed with his skills



Let's work our way backwards

Since I've got a lot of ground to cover from the past couple months I thought maybe the easiest way to tackle this would be to start with the most recent. So here goes. Baseball season has officially begun. Before we even had a minute to hang up the basketball jersey, the cleats and mitt were getting worn in. Thank goodness Sam has endless amounts of energy and seems happiest when he's on the go. His team has played three games {3-0} so far which I think is probably a record for this time of year. We usually can't make it a week without a rainout...which incidentally happened this evening. So begins the crazy schedule of make-up games. Even with the rainouts and unpredictability of schedules, baseball is hands down my favorite to watch. Well, maybe soccer is. No baseball. Hmmm...good thing we've got both going on this spring!

The girls watched the game exactly two and a half minutes before the begging and pleading started for the playground.

They won and we spent an inning swinging and climbing.

We've been blessed with a few sunny days and these

two haven't wasted a single minute of outdoor time.

Miss Mils, all smiles and no teeth.

See ya later Alligator!

forgive me....

for neglecting you my little online scrapbook. so much to share and yet so little time. i've missed two birthdays, the end of basketball season, a very special trooper, our march number and now easter. i'm hoping the cute face above buys me a little time to finally get something post-worthy up here. see you soon with some good stuff.
