Spring is here!!

Sophie has started soccer! She is SO excited to play on a team. She is used to playing in the backyard with daddy, so this is a new experience! She is playing with her two best buddies Madison and Olivia. It's SOO funny to watch the kids her age to kick the ball around and to try to be aggressive. Its hilarious to watch them run around, not really clear where to go!! I'm sure that more pictures are to come!

Other than that, spring is such fun with the kids! Even if its just getting out to the park for a picnic, kids think its the greatest day ever. Its nice to be able to meet someone else's expectations every once and a while! (even if it is a three year old!) We have been going on a lot of "field trips" now that the weather is warming up. We took the kids to Wheeler Farm last week. If you haven't been lately, you should! I forgot how much fun the farm is! The kids LOVED the animals (especially the turkeys!)

Graduation is quickly approaching for Katy! I cant even believe it!! Only five weeks until she is no longer in High School. She got her itinerary for her trip to Europe this week and let me tell you, I am super jealous. They are going on an amazing trip!!

I love spring because its like a clean start (with crabgrass). I love to garden, work on my flower beds and as crazy at it sounds, I love to cut the grass! I'm just looking forward to getting out there and making the yard my little outdoor haven. We have plans to put in our fence this year! I cant wait to have a bit more privacy! I just love spring!!

Buzz Buzz, go the bees!!

So March was lovely. Busy, busy, busy, but lovely none the less. I got the bathroom remodel most of the way done. Now I just have to save some $$ to do the tile and it will all be done. We celebrated Katy turning EIGHTEEN!! I cant believe it. Even though she is my sister, I feel like I'm losing a kid. I am so proud of her and the choices that she has made in her life. She is such a mature, wise and beautiful woman and an example to me what a daughter of God really is. I started crying at dinner on her birthday, and I didn't stop crying for 24 hours!!

Katy got her flight plans for Europe!! She leaves June 13th! I am so excited for her to set out on this adventure. I know that it will be a growing and learning experience for her. Not to mention, I am SUPER jealous and want to go!! She is equipped with her IPOD full of the tour info and a digital camera!

Duncan is walking! He has fully committed to walking (finally). He is still a tiny little squirt, so it looks kind of funny, but I'm so proud of him!! He is growing up so quickly and I wonder where do the days go?? He has started saying words. They are simple ones like mama, dada, no, yes, and such but its surreal to have TWO kids who are talking, walking and reminding me that I have to take advantage of every moment. Sophie is getting older and sassier as the days pass. Her new favorite phrases are "I'm SO over that" and "Pu-lees mom, I'm a big girl!" I don't know where the spunk comes from :) I blame Katy.
