The Piggy Basket that Ayson won (for Addie) last Friday at the Parade of Baskets!

Addie had her Kindergarten screening and now has her own card with the alphabet! (just like her big brother). She immediately started practicing her full first name and writing her numbers :)

Thursday night was the first night of T-ball. This year the kids are on the Taste of Heaven Pizzeria team...yay!

Great hit, Ayson!!!

Then it was ice cream time!!!

Wow, that sure is a big ice cream cone!!

Ayson found a tiny slug Friday night...just wait until later this summer when the slugs are HUGE!

Friday night chiminea time

Smores!

On Saturday, Addie wanted Mommy to open her Mother's Day gift BUT Addie wanted to be the one to take off the wrapping paper....lol! Thanks for the lovely card, Baby Doll!

Working on a new robot! LOOK, Mommy finally took down the Christmas cards along the archway:) But take a closer look at the edge of the desk at the bottom of the picture :) The reason the cards were still up is that Mommy intends to write each person a card/letter and she has not made the time yet to do it.

The kiddos giving themselves foot baths...and leaving water puddles all over the floor. At least it is only water and Mommy and Daddy can always change our socks when we step in the wet spots :)
Check out all of the bruises on Addie's legs. Crazy girl! Addie loved to drop to her knees and then pretend to be a cat/dog. Just about all of her leggings have holes in the knees!

Goofy kids!

Ayson had a friend over Saturday afternoon. Luckily the rain held off so that the kiddos could play outside!
Rolling down the hill in the tubes.

Look at those balancing skills!

Ayson showed his friend how to roll down the hill...apologies for the grass stains, Jen :)

We also had a visit from Ms Linda!!! Addie sat by the door waiting for Ms Linda to arrive! Ms Linda brought the kids belated birthday gifts AND McDonald's. Thanks, Linda! It was great to see you!!

The spiral art set that the kids received!

Saturday night, Mommy and Grandma Collene went to their first concert of the season together: Dwight Yoakum! It was fantastic! We will see Santana in August and hopefully someone else between now and then :)

When Mommy got home Saturday night, she found everyone asleep in her bed:)

Mommy opening her Mother's Day Gifts:
A painting from Ayson with a bird and a flowering apple tree :)

Addie gave Mommy another card and a bookmark!

Ayson's "All About Mom" book :)

The school Pre-K daycare program now allows the children to check out books with activities. Of course Addie's involved a cat!

Addie selecting the pictures that go with the story. The story was about a kitty that takes FOREVER to get ready in the morning...VERY much like Addie :) Starting in March, Mommy had to start waking Addie up earlier just so that she would be ready in time to not miss the bus!

Between rain showers, we went for a walk in the apple orchard! So many of the apple trees were in bloom and it smelled fantastic outside! Hello Spring!!!!
Ayson chopping down the dandelion heads.

So pretty!

Daddy letting the kiddos smell some blooming honeysuckle.

Grandpa Roger-this picture of new poison ivy is JUST for you :) hahaha

The kids crushing the horse tail plant in order to feel the silica inside.

Looking for minnows, bugs, frogs, and crayfish! The orange fencing is protecting newly planted trees that Mommy suspects were planted to help with soil erosion adjacent to the stream.

Success on everything but the crayfish!

A pretty afternoon for a walk!

School work:
Nice Job, Addie!



Ayson's drawing of Galaxy Zack. Every week during library, he selects another volume of Galaxy Zack to read :)
