Isaac in the Woods

We spent a bit of time at Gramie's today, and I got some great pictures of Isaac in her backyard. I know there are lots of them, but it captures the many moods of Isaac!

Front Flower Bed- April

Our front flower bed is Mike's pride and joy. It changes all through the season, so I thought I would post pics of it once a month. Here are the pics for April. It is already looking pretty good. Most things seem to have come back, bulbs are blooming and the fountain is up and running.

Breakfast Pretzels

I have always loved those cinnamon sugar pretzels you can get at the mall. I decided to recreate them for a breakfast treat. They turned out yummy, and as I thought about it, actually much healthier than cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon sugar is adhered with a spritz of water instead of butter, and the frosting is just drizzled on top instead of spread on thick. The kids loved them and woke up with big smiles on their faces when they could smell breakfast baking. Actually the smiles might have had something to do with it being Saturday.

Sunset

It was nice enough outside this evening that we played outside until sunset.

April Showers and Tiny Flowers

We have had several days in a row of rain. Wonderful night time thunderstorms, and daytime showers that smell like spring time. My hyacinths and tulips are starting to bloom and the grass is turning green. Spring is really here!

Princess Millie

Amelia is a girly girl and I love it so much. I encourage the girliness at every opportunity. She found this tiara with a veil at the dollar section of Target today and had to have it. She wore it around the yard, quite pleased with herself. She put up quite a fuss when it was time to take it off for bed. She knows she is a princess.

Walking on Broken Glass

The van window was broken in the church parking lot on Sunday. Who would do that? They broke it to get a diaper bag, full of scripture stories and crayons. The kids were a bit freaked out, it was quite a surprise! Isaac was actually pretty unfased by it all. He said "It is OK if the bad guys took the diaper bag, I go in the potty now. " The kids and I were grateful to get a ride home from a friend while Mike waited for the police. We were also blessed to be able to borrow a vehicle from another friend to go to Grandpa and Nana's for dinner. Monday was spent taking care of the logistics of a new window, but all is safe, sound and whole now.
