Spring Has Sprung!

Pictures from around the house - literally. We've been enjoying our garden and discovering all that was here before us! Kayligrace has been enjoying playing outside too, especially helping Mommy play in the dirt!

We found an entire bed of Irises that are just beautiful, and we had our first two bloom this week! (I had a great time playing with my camera with these.)









It rained today, and I had a FIELD DAY with these rain droplets.


Seriously fun.


These shoots have started springing up all over the place, but we have no idea what they are. Any ideas?


Kayligrace got all dressed up last weekend for Kiri's wedding. Adorable!




We only have one of these little guys, and he is REALLY little. But what beautiful color!


We added these guys to our garden and can't wait to get some tasty berries! Kayligrace couldn't figure out why there was a strawberry laying on the ground that she couldn't eat!


Not quite ready yet!


We just found out that this is probably a peony and that it's supposed to be beautiful when it blooms. Yay!


This is called "hosta," and we found it growing in the shade along the side of the house. We don't even know when it showed up because we rarely go over there!


The azaleas in front. We think the two that aren't blooming yet are going to be pink.


A hydrangea bush (or the wedding flower, as I like to call it) that was blooming blue when we moved in last October.


First, Mommy got dirt out of this bucket.


Then, she patted it down like this.

Easter with the Fam

We spent Easter visiting with the Moody family. John, Mari, Benjamin, and Lucy were here too, so we had a grand ol' time!

Now that's good napping!


Meet Ellen Lucille, whom we call "Lucy."


Birthday cake!


More Easter egg hunting!








(I think this one is adorable.)














Smile!
