It was a rainy evening, but that didn’t keep us from watching the Good ‘Ol Days Parade.

The boys were ready for the parade to start.

April’s Favorite Photos

O.k. first off I took a lot of pictures in April… And secondly, well, here are way too many of them.

016

Dylan was all smiles when we were out for a walk.

043

Thade loves to swing on the swing-set at home.

026

It was a little windy, but Agnes and Dylan didn’t mind.

011

I finally convinced James to let me give Agnes a hair-cut. It turned out super cute!

0122

One day when the little ones wern’t feeling too good, they made a blanket fort. They had a blast playing in it even though they felt yucky.

021

Dylan was watching Agnes draw a picture.

0035

One of the best days ever!

014

I love my little family. We had a blast coloring Easter eggs with the kids.

035

I had some dental work done… It wasn’t fun, but it had to be done.

This next batch of photos are from all around town.

008

We visited the baby ducks at Tractor Supply. They are so cute! How I wish we had a duck pond. I just love their little beaks.

029

We took a walk downtown to look at the roses.

028

I took this one at “The Castle”. They have a beautiful shade garden filled with large Hostas and Calla Lilies.

030

One more from the Pavilion downtown. The Roses were in full bloom.

017

We visited a local greenhouse. I love the large potted succulent plant.

027

It was a dreamy scene inside the greenhouse.

This next batch are all from our garden at home.

024

I found this beautiful Mayfly on the Lily plant.

025

The Hibiscus bloomed early. I love it’s big red blossoms.

0161

Last year’s Hosta came back. I love their cool green leaves.

Last, but not least your double dose of kitty cuteness.

February’s Favorite Photos

February was the month that got away from me… We were all sick for most of the month, and we were stuck indoors for way too long. I hope that March will be much better. I do have a few photos to share though…

006

One lazy Sunday the kiddos stayed in their pj’s all day. They loved it.

015

Thade was home sick from school, so we had school @ home instead.

Dylan was all smiles on Valentine’s day.

0131

We did get to venture out for a little bit.

0011

Agnes swiped Dylan’s boots. They are way too big for her…

0101

Agnes finally let me put her hair up in pig-tails. That lasted about two minutes.

003

Another night that no one was feeling too well…

0061

We visited one of Dylan’s favorite local stores, and spotted the seeds.

0012

We had a lot of Crocuses pop up in the front yard.

0091

They were bright and cheery.

The rest are all from the backyard, on a few different days.
