Spring Break 2012

What an awesome week!
We had our dad part of the time ( when he wasn't working on presentations for school)!
We worked hard in the mornings and played all afternoon into the evening!

We did TONS of yard work!
We cleaned out the fridge and the van!
We registered the van and John got a new battery for it!
(All these things had been weighing heavy on my mind.)

We decorated Easter eggs,
went to lots of parks,
jumped on the trampoline with sprinklers,
went to an arcade place with dad called Gatti Town (even got pizza),
had some late night movies,
and lots of crafts!




And last but not least!
We camped in our back yard with our friends the Stanfields!

We got a fire pit which we will use all summer!
Dined on foil dinners and smores!


Addy, Isaac, Evan, Easton and Owen.


Easton and Evan!
It was hard to get a picture of these goofs!
They are the best of friends!


Addy and Isaac!
Some more goofs!



The plan was to sleep outside,
but it was 33 degrees outside that night.

So we brought the tent in and they
slept in it in the living room!
They loved it and had so much fun!
The family time this week was priceless!
John helped me so much and we got so much done!

So grateful for good friends as well!
Now back to real life! pooh!


Box House

Isaac made this little house out of a big box we had.
Easton said he wanted to sleep in it.
I said sure thinking he wouldn't really.






When I came to check on them before I went to bed ...
this is what I found.
Oh childhood!
Truman D

This guy is our light!
He has such personality these days!
He knows what he wants. And he grunts "uhh, uhh" till he gets it.

He makes us all laugh and is so happy and silly!
He is 15 1/2 months old and speeding through life!

We decided his mind goes faster than his body can keep up
so he gets hurt all the time!
He is constantly running into things and falling down!
I feel so bad for him!

His brothers can't get enough of him!

Hanging out outside
We love this guy!
Awards

The boys school does awards in their classes at the end of every semester.
They really look forward to it and it is so motivating to keep up the hard work.



Isaac got the Super Student award for working hard
and turning in all his assignments on time and done well.

Isaac wanted a pic with Truman.... (that worked out)



Easton got the Super Reader and Hard Worker awards!

They both work so hard and try their best.
They complain, but they always do it and I am pleased with that!
Love these boys!
Lexington Seasons

I couldn't let all this beauty go with out blogging about it!
I just soak it all in daily!


My attempt to capture spring in Lexington...
Second official try at water color...
Not sure


It only looked like this for about 2 days this winter!
My favorite tree right outside our front door.



Ahhhh spring...





These are the blossoms on the tree right outside
the boys window upstairs. So I get to look at them everyday!
Amazing! God is truly THE artist!


My favorite tree again right after the threatening tornado.
Who wouldn't love Lexington Kentucky?
