First Swim of the "Spring?"

It was in the low 90's today, so my friend and neighbor Karen and I decided we would take the kids to the sprinkler park for the first time this season. However, we got there and learned it doesn't officially open until May, so we were a little over a week early. So we headed back to the neighborhood and took the kids to the neighborhood swimming pool. They had a blast! I was impressed at how Lillian remembered to kick her legs from last summer and Andrew was even brave this year and was walking all around the baby pool which he wouldn't get in last year and was scared. We will be taking swim lessons in June, so I'm glad to know they aren't scared. I'm a little nervous about the weather already being this hot now, but I'm thinking we may be at the pool and the sprinkler parks a few times a week when they are open now because they kids loved it and I think they will sleep very well tonight with all the kicking around they did.

Spring Fun

Brandon was off work today after working the past 6 days, so while Lillian was at her occupational therapy, he, Andrew, and I made a Wal-mart run to pick up miscellaneous things. We saw a huge bottle of bubbles which the kids have been obsessed with lately, so we got a couple of bottles to stock up and while Brandon worked on planting more flowers in our flower beds....which I may say are looking so great this year....the kids had fun blowing bubbles. I've been so excited to get the yard in shape this year after the deadness it was all in after winter and want it to look great for our guests this summer coming to see our new little blessing and to take pictures! Here are some pictures of the kids and the flower beds. (I'm expecting them to get even prettier and will post more pics as they do. Brandon just watered them this evening with the awesome Miracle Gro mix and we are finally going to get some rain tonight!!! Yipee!)

The Bluebonnets are Back!

I noticed the beautiful bluebonnets this week while driving and thought I better get the kids out to get their pictures in them before I forget. So after picking up the kids from their weekend with their aunts and grandparents in Shiner, we stopped off a country road and took some pictures! Enjoy!
