Going to the pool

The gym we go to has a really nice pool for kids. For an hour and a half each day they have Fun Splash, just for kids. There were only a few other kids there, it was perfect. We will definitely be going back!

Planting flowers

The girls picked out their own flower at the nursery last weekend. They picked the same flower, but in different colors. Hannah's is yellow and Tay picked orange.

They planted them all on their own and are responsible for watering them too!

Happy 30th Birthday Greg!

The girls and I made an outdoor cake for Greg for his birthday!

Outside fun

The girls have big bikes with training wheels. They love to ride them! They don't mind the helmets and even ask for the knee and elbow pads. The can ride by themselves, but haven't mastered turning or stopping yet.

The water table...

A license already? Only in the backyard!

Easter w/ Tim & Rose

Cousins! They got along great and are still asking when we will see them again.

Anyone up for triplets?

The outdoor hunt....


The indoor hunt...




What did the Easter bunny leave me?

Its like Christmas again...

Oh, will they be in trouble when Clay can catch up with them!

Does it get much better than family, fresh air, and woodland (or forest as Tay says) creatures?

Clay turns 1... already?

I can't believe he is 1 already!

This looks like so much fun!

Notice Clay in the background.... he is still cheering!

Easter weekend

Lunch with Arnold and Theda, Annette and Bobby Easter weekend!

The girls opened big, beautiful baskets from Grandma and Papaw!

Mommy was excited to see something other than sugar in the basket - they had fruit and raisins! So were the girls! Thank you Grandma and Papaw!

Bloomington Zoo

We stopped on our way to IN to check out the Bloomington Zoo. The membership pass is reciprocal to Peoria's Zoo and is cheaper!

In the tree behind the girls is a very tiny monkey.

The tiger growled and paced the entire time we watched him... it was creepy!

Looking at the otters.

The barn owl.... no need to say more.

We will be making this stop more often! The day we stopped was chilly and the merry-go-round was not running. Taylor has asked almost daily if we can go back to see if it is working!

Easter w/ Grandma Bridget

Grandma Bridget and Papaw Mark went to the lake over Easter, but we managed to see Grandma for a little bit before they left!

She brought baskets filled with good stuff! Thank you!

Rockstars

The girls love to sing, especially on Grandma's karaoke machine!

They are naturals!

Easter Eggs

We dyed eggs with Grandma and Papaw the weekend before Easter.
The girls had a great time. I think Greg did too!
