Spring is here!!

Hallelujah!!  We are so ready to spend more time outside, and the weather has been beautiful!




"Look here and smile Bentley."  "I'm trying mom!" 


"No more pictures please.  I need a break from that."

This is one very happy girl if she can be wondering around outside!
And of course, with the official welcoming of spring, Brad caught his first lizard of the year.  Eden was thrilled!
 Olivia got her first experience with a lizard and it was actually really funny to watch.  She ended up holding it for a really long time and just kept looking at it kind of puzzled. She was being very soft and gentle, but Brad ended up needing to take it away when she started trying to fold it. She had that sucker for a long time though!



And of course - the turtles.... slowly but surely they will now begin making their way out of hibernation.  So far we have seen Beast and Grumpy.  Everyone is so excited!  I'm not sure who is the most excited though - the kids... or Brad.  Going to work each day is getting harder and harder for Brad... there are too many fun things going on around here! 
Bentley giving Beast a "welcome back to the world" kiss.
Happy spring everyone!!

I am not totally certain that Olive realized the lizard was a living creature.

Also, for the record, some of our turtles came out the weekend of March 21. We can never remember when they begin to come out. So far, we have only seen two males. 5 more need to come out of hibernation and Princess Leia will join them from her comfy acquarium in the laundry room as soon as it's nice and warm.
