spring

when the weather warms up we like to sleep inand take afternoon naps

and put our clothes on the line to dry

camp trip

we had such a fun time camping at east lake resevior. we went "hiking", roasted dinner on an open flame, sang camp songs. it was the prettiest camp site i have ever been to.

easter fun

easter has come and gone, and so have the cousins! they came on wednessday and stayed till sunday. we sure had a lot of fun. one of our favorite things to do together is play super mario brothers on the computer.



we also had an awesome easter egg hunt. peter refrained from mowing the lawn for 2+ weeks so that the grass would be long, perfect for hiding eggs.

thanks for coming and playing guys! we love you!

Happy 2nd bday big man!!

Danny turned 2 on march 19th. it was some party!!

frog prince

my boys found this little prince out in the back yard and decided that it had to come inside to see me. what a lucky girl i am!

it's a disaster!!
