Slip-N-Slide & Strawberries

We stayed cool in the HOT 93 degree weather today with the good old fashion slip-n-slide. Even I took a turn! (nobody got a picture but that's probably a good thing). Then the kids enjoyed some of the biggest strawberries they'd ever seen. It was a fun afternoon.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! This morning the kids woke up to find a note from the Easter Bunny. It said that their Easter baskets were hidden somewhere around the house and that they would have to find them...a tradition from when I was a kid. They thought this was so funny. Kylie's was under an end table, Trevor's in the oven, and Alyssa's in the dryer. After church they had the easter egg hunt in our backyard. Here are MANY pictures...a special thanks to Grandma Michelle! She made the girls' dresses.

Bubbles & Water FUN!

We've been loving the nice Spring weather. The kids ask to ride their bikes every day so as long as it's nice, we do! Sometimes we bring them to a park and sometimes we just ride them out front...luckily we live on a pretty quiet street so they can ride in the street. Kylie LOVES to be outside. She is constantly requesting to go outside by saying, "ouw-siyde." She got this lawn mower bubble blower for Christmas and she used up all the bubbles pretty quickly. We finally got some new bubbles the other day and she's already gone through 2 bottles! She played with this thing all day today. If you have a toddler, I definitely recommend this toy...it has provided so much entertainment for Kylie and I'm sure many many more hours.
After a while of riding bikes outside it got kinda warm and the kids wanted to play with the hose so I turned it on the "mist" and let them at it. They got their swimsuits on so of course, Kylie wanted hers on to0. She kept saying, "shwi-shoot" till I gave in and put hers on too, even though she wanted nothing to do with the hose water. She was so excited to be wearing her swimsuit. She kept touching it and smiling and saying "shwi-shoot."

They had so much fun and were actually getting along so well!
