Quote of the day: "So Mom, when I am six maybe this skirt will fit and when I am six..."--Lizzie said at about 10 AM as she was trying on a skirt that was too big. I told her we need to get through turning 5 first.

springtime in the country

Here we are at "Tax Day" also affectionately known as my Dad's Birthday!! We have been busy going to the "Alligator Park," it contains a dragon slide which is how Lizzie named the park when we first moved here, but I don't have the heart to tell them. We also have been enjoying the swing set and the driveway out front. It smells lovely out here most days with the farmers fertilizing the fields. Thankfully, the field behind us has not been fertilized and we actually found out it is planted with winter wheat because it was planted in the fall and grows until June or so. It has all of a sudden started growing taller. It should get to be about waste high.

The other day we went out when it was over 70 and played with chalk (some ate it), rode bikes, and roller skated. It was so good to get outside and run off some energy. Here are some pics of the day...
how can you not love this kid
some weren't happy to be photographed, at least one was
here is the eating of chalk I had mentioned
hard at work
notice most of it ended up on her shirt
she had fun just sitting on this bike

I was able to sneak a few shots
notice the still wet shirt
"man, my big brother is so cool"

Quote of the day: "I don't know what I was thinking, I forgot my helmet."--Lizzie said as she was getting ready to ride her bike. I don't think we ever thought about helmets when we were kids.

birthday baby!!

Happy Birthday, Hannah Grace!! We had a fun day on Tuesday, the 1st, celebrating Hannah's 1st Birthday. She caught on pretty quickly that the day was all about her. It began with the singing, every time someone called to sing to her she'd listen and rock back and forth "dancing" to the song with a big smile on her face. She wore her shirt all day and was all smiles when people would wish her a happy day!! We also went out to play for a little while and Hannah had fun walking around and watching big brother and sister. We wrapped up the day with a yummy dinner, presents, and cupcakes for dessert. Wow, how time flies...here is the year in review!!
