Zoo With Friends

We love going to the zoo and it's even better that friends will always join us!  We never see all the animals, but we always feed the ducks, play on the fun playground and have tons of fun.

That's cute little Lydia Pickett peaking out from under the blanket. :)

Spring is here!!

Swimming Lessons

Monday mornings we are now spending some time in the pool with Ms. Shannon.  The kids love her and are learning so much in their ability to swim and be safe in the water.  I'm so glad we are able to do these lessons now!

Bentley and Eden both just needed to gain some confidence in their ability to swim.  They are making huge progress and are having so much fun discovering that they are acutally really good!

Olive has the confidence and loves to jump on out, now she just needs the technique to actually back up that confidence.  She is so fun to watch though, laughing and smiling the whole time.

Then at the end of the hour, Karly goes for a little spin with Ms. Shannon too, but she is always quick to tell her "I won't be putting my head under the water today."  These kids are so fun.

Grandma and Grandpa's House

Sometimes we will spend our Monday homeschool down in Bosque Farms with grandma.  The kids love being there, and I love that we can all spend more time together. Life is good.

Kids Hanging out in a Tree

We sure love this big tree in our backyard.  We can't wait for summer when it gets so green and beautiful.  Little green leaves are sprouting though!  Summer is coming!

I love my little tree monkeys.

Karly and Olive

These two girls are my little home buddies.  We try to go on some sort of adventure or outing every morning, then we enjoy our afternoons together at home.  Lately they have been bickering a lot so I really needed this collection of cute pictures of them being happy together to remind me that they really do love each other.  They both have very strong personalities so they butt heads quite a bit, but they also have so much fun together. 

Sisters really are the best kind of friends.

Baby Frog

The cutest little frog around.  It's big eyes blink and everything!

Karly was so mesmorized by these big automatic blinking eyes.  She wore them and looked around for the longest time.  It was adorable.
