We had a bit of spring in March and we took advantage of it. The twins are getting so brave. They will now go down the slides by themselves. Even the big ones. They had a blast.
Aria loves to put other peoples clothes on. She especially likes hats and shoes.
Zachy wasn't very happy about taking a picture with mommy. But I made him. He still is cute even though he is grumpy.
Sam is always ready and willing to get his picture taken.
He was much happier to take a picture with mommy than little brother was.
This was the first mowing of the lawn this year. All the kids were so excited to be outside. Sam loves to mow the lawn with daddy. It is one of the things I love to see. Father and son working along side each other. Of course, Sam sees it as fun for now.
Zach wasn't quite sure about the lawn mower. We barely got him to touch it.
Aria will do anything to spend time with daddy. Even if it is to just mow the lawn.
I was so excited to get out and weed my flower garden. I had plenty of help too. This is Samuel and Zachary helping. They helped so much that I found one of my flower plants cut to the ground. Thank goodness I have more than one flower plant.
The kids love being outside. Aria found she could fit her whole body in Sam's dump truck.
Sam tried to fit himself in the dump truck too.
Out of all my kids Zachy loves being out side the most. When Aria and Sam have decided they've had enough, Zach is still out side playing and exploring. He always comes in kicking and screaming. I love that he enjoys the outdoors.
It was Mother's Day this last Sunday and I have to say this is why I love being a mother and wife. I have a wonderful husband and 3 of the best kids around. They all bring so much joy into my life. I can't think of a better place to be then here with my family.
Grandpa and Grandma Rasmussen came for visit with their trailer. Samuel got to sleep out with them one night. He had a great time. In the morning they fixed us all a yummy breakfast.
Last week end Travis and I went to Lava Hot Spring for a couple of nights. Now the really cool story behind this is that it was given to us by my sisters. They booked the hotel and gave us spending money. They felt we needed some time alone. This past 6 months have been really busy and I've been gone a lot. So being the sweetest sisters I know they decided to take it upon themselves to get a couple of nights alone. Amy watched Samuel and he was so excited. He was also on a vacation. My parents watched Aria and Zach. They also loved the one on one time with Grandma and Grandpa. Travis and I had a very fun and relaxing time. We needed it more than we thought. Thank you Lori, Maria, Amy, Shea, mom and dad. This is a picture of us in our hotel. My camera ran out of batteries so I don't have any more pictures of the week end but we stayed up late watching T.V. , ate good food (and I didn't have to cook), sat in the mineral pools, met my sister Maria and Roger for the movie "Tron" (loved it), sat in the jetted tub in our room, slept in and just enjoyed each others company. Thanks again!
