Spring is here!

Finally! We are able to get outside and play! After such a long and cooped up winter, the kids are thrilled to be outside. We are working on our yard, purchasing a new wooden swingset for the kids, and building a new playground. It's the season for sandboxes, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and slip and slides! It's been so much fun working on the yard with Darius. Dad even came up and helped with his tractor, smoothing out the side yard.

The cows have been put back out to pasture, which thrills Selah to no end. Here she is watching them come down the hill behind our house and yelling at them. Adah is convinced that all the "baby cows" are hers. Thanks, papaw. :)

The apple trees are blooming! We hope to do better this year than last with the apple and peach trees - they started off really good but something happened - bugs or something and all the fruit died. We'll see what happens this year!

I love the simple joys spring brings; making wishes on dandelions, everything turning from the boring grays and browns to a sweet smelling green, with pinks, purples, and yellows thrown in by God for some extra pops of color. :)

Bailey helping daddy with the tractor, moving dirt. That little guy can really drive! I'm so thankful for the things this spring has brought us. We've been so blessed. We found out a couple of days ago that we're having another boy! No names picked out yet.

Well, its off to more organizing, cleaning, and enjoying this wonderful season! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
