The Park!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day. 

We stopped at park on our way to run an errand and the girls LOVED it!

Running.

Swinging.

Enjoying time with Dad.

I think my hands will be pretty full between these two at the park this summer.

Here are a few pictures from this weekend. 

Picture courtesy of Emma.

Headed out on our 8 mile run.

Celebrated an awesome weekend with some Jethros!

She is hilarious.

Apparently, my dad thought I was 30 already..... :) Getting there but not quite yet. 

I was trying to capture how silly Lily was being. Here's a taste.

Last, Emma's hair was WILD this morning, so we put it up in pig tails. Lily insisted, like she always does, that I do the same to her. She has never actually let me put them in, until today!!!!

I think this best captures Lily's personality :)

A Few Full Days

My dad came down for a few days to help us conquer more of our list on our house. It has dwindled down to less than a handful of things to do and some cleaning! 

Lily always wants to help! 

Watching and learning.... 

.....and actually breaking up the grout!!!

The cleaner-upper. 

Putting in a gate. 

Power washing

Longing to be outside with Bop (what Lily started calling him!)

Mulching.

There was some time for fun too :)

Lily now thinks it's funny to put her toes in her mouth...

Attack kisses!

Playing with worms.

 Big news! Emma learned how to pedal on her tricycle!!! She's soooo excited!!!

 More pictures from the little camera to come.... another night. :)

Easter Box!

Jay's parents sent us an Easter box from Florida. The girls LOVE getting anything in the mail, especially if you tell them it's presents. 

Lily found the Peeps!

Frozen!!!!

 They loved all their gifts, clothes, candy, and new books! 

The Big 4

Hard to believe it's been 4 years since this....

Wow! Love this man more each day as we grow closer to one another and closer to the Lord together. Here's to many, many, many more years together!

Progress

My blogging has been cut back quite a bit as we're currently getting our house ready to be put on the market. Any of you moms who have participated in this adventure know how much work it is, how tiring it is, and how many things you re-do due to have your kids around. My parents came down last week to help do a few things around the house. Their help was greatly appreciated!

Early morning snuggles.

Drawing with Pa.

Headed to Lowes with GG for flowers.

Pit stop for some Caribou!

Now to the work!

Working on the sink.

 The girls had a blast with our mattress being in the living room for a day!

 Helping spot clean the carpet.

 They actually did some great cleaning on the grout in the kitchen.

Gotta roll out GG after all her carpet cleaning!

So sweet.

Time to wrestle.

Then, we headed to the Poucher's house while new carpet was being put in. We had a blast enjoying their yard and the beautiful weather!

Had to have snacks outside at home.

Lily and her baby.

Lily really enjoys it when Jay does this to her!

 

Our beautiful cuties in their sparkly dresses from Grandma and Grandpa in Florida :)
