Fun in the Sun!

These first pictures were taken a few weeks after moving here. Then spring came! 

No...we don't look like homschoolers with our scraggly hair and bonnet! Oh my!

We are having fun in the backyard. The trees are a little naked and Connor said the grass looks like shredded wheat. But it's warming up and we spend every spare second we can up on top of the canyon where the house will be. I've never seen such a big blue beautiful sky. 

The kids love exploring down in the creek bed and finding bugs and holes and climbing the trees. 

Warren decided to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house and babysit this time, but now that there's a dirt mound, he wants to join us. 

We have been busy with baseball...when I say busy, I mean that it has consumed our evenings. I'm not sure how I feel about it. The boys love it but I do NOT like driving around that much. We drive 25 minutes to Warren's practices and games and sometimes over 30 minutes to Kyler and Shad's. I'll be happy on June 1st when it's over. It has it's benefits, it's making time go by faster and the kids are getting lots of exercise and making friends.

I started deciding on some interior finishes...actually I have spent several years thinking about them, but it's getting closer to decision time. I remember when I was a little girl and I would hide from my friends in my room so I could decorate my dollhouse by lamplight. I spent hours placing each tiny, handcrafted piece in it's place, down to the tiny glass fruits in the fruit bowl on a cherry wood dining table. Then, I would go get my mom and she was so patient while I made her crouch down and look through each and every room. She was very enthusiastic. Good mom. 

This is just a big dollhouse...but the husband isn't wearing a tux and filled with stuffing, and the baby's arms bend.
