Yes, it is Iowa.....

our deck

neighbors house across the street

Woke up to it SNOWING! Yes, it is snowing, actual big flakes here. Today is to be 29 and tomorrow 51! So the snow that is accumulating shouldn't be here very long. It is actually pretty, and I can only say that because we haven't had snow for quite some time. Here are a few shots....

(update, it is now 10:10 and the snow on the deck is melting! VERY SHORT LIVED)!

Harlem Globetrotters

Marcia, Wes, girls and I went to see the globetrotters tonight at Wells Fargo! It was a lot of fun. We had really good seats also. Hannah and I were matching tonight. She picked out my outfit today. Haydn was also in purple too. We were the purple people eaters! HA!! The picture of Haydn and Marcia, Haydn is trying to do the YMCA!! Haydn is such a bold little girl but she was scared when the blow up characters would come on the floor!! She is funny!

Stella's 4th Birthday Party

Stella had her b-day party today. The theme was Fancy Nancy. Hannah, Stella and Haydn wore their petti-skirts mom made them that we took to the Ozarks last Sept. The party was a lot of fun. She got a lot of fun gifts. I tried to capture a picture of Hannah feeding Porter ice cream, but taking it towards the window, it doesn't show up all that well. Wes took Haydn home for a afternoon nap. Hannah stayed over at Kayren's. Mom, Kayren, Hannah, Stella and I went shopping for awhile. Came back to her house played outside, what a beautiful day. Wes brought Haydn back over. U Mark stopped by, we ordered pizza and ate outside. It was a fun day/night.

Happy St Patty's Day

We headed downtown for the St Patrick's Day parade today. Kayren and kids went too. It is a beautiful day here (low 70's). I had never been to the parade before. It was probably 1.5 hrs long. They didn't throw out much candy just mainly beads. The kids had a good time. Porter was there, he just chose not to be in the group photo.

It's Back!!

Got the corvette out today. It still had a little charge from last year. Charged it some, Hannah nor Haydn could wait to take it for a spin!! I am thinking Haydn might try and learn how to drive it this summer. Wouldn't put it past her!!

It's Offical...

Spring is here (or the girls think anyway). I put ALL 3 swings on the swingset today. Ever since we have had the swingset (3 yrs) we have had a baby swing for Haydn. This year she has her own BIG girl swing. It is to be 67 degrees on Monday!! YEAH!! Hopefully it keeps getting warmer each day.

Space Helmet

Hannah made a space helmet again this year at school. The first picture is her last year.

I Wish Time Would Stand Still......

I do, but I know it can't. Wes and I attended a Kindergarten Round-Up meeting for parents tonight. The Kindergarten teachers were introduced tonight. We got to tour the classrooms. It was fun to see where Hannah will be next Fall. Just hard to believe she is old enough to go (well actually she could of went last year, but we are REALLY glad we didn't send her). She has a lot of preschool friends that will attend Kindergarten there also. Including Hannah, there will be 3 girls from our street going next year also. Now I can already guarantee I will be BAWLING on the first day of school. The next year will bring A LOT of changes for Hannah, Wes and I. It will be fun, I am looking forward to the next chapter in her life! Really I am, I just might not show it the first week of school.

Playing with Eliott

Eliott came out this morning to play. He and Haydn got along great together. Once Hannah came home from school, she was a little bossy with him. It has been fun having him around today. Haydn and Eliott would give each other hugs A LOT!! Sometimes it looked more like a chock hold though.

Surprised Visit

Jim and Bev surprised us today with a visit. Marcia has Eliott for a few nights, she stopped by also. I thought we needed a picture with the great-grandchildren. Hannah and Haydn are spending the night with Eliott tonight. I know they are having fun with him.

another beautiful day....

after we picked Hannah up from school we headed to Centennial park for a picnic lunch and to play. We were there close to 2 hrs. What a beautiful day. The temp is 69, a little windy but a GREAT day to be outside. We are loving this weather.

feels like spring....

It is 52 degrees here today! I pulled out a few toys from the shed. Last fall Hannah learned how to ride her bike w/o training wheels. Well she didn't want to try and ride her bike today, so she chose the big wheel. We walked to a small park 3 blocks from our house. It was fun to be outside. I am getting spring fever now!! Hopefully it is right around the corner.

Happy Easter (alittle early)

I had the idea to get the girls bean bags for Christmas but did not. Well yesterday in the Target ad they had kids size ones on sale. I decided to get the girls one. Well we went today and they picked ones out they wanted (luckily they didn't want the same color). Told Hannah this is her Easter present.
