Our weekend

We has such a great weekend! The weather was amazing and it's just so nice to be outside and have all the trees being green again, it does a lot for your mood! I was telling Bryan this weekend that I think the winter blues are so bad here because from now until November the weather is SO amazing that I spend the winter just craving and dreaming about it. I'm so happy that it's finally here and can't wait to enjoy the next 6-7 months OUTSIDE!! 


My sweet little girl loves to swing.


She has also been riding her bike like crazy! She is still without training wheels and needs zero help starting and stopping now.



Kade had a tball game early Saturday morning. Bryan and I can't get over this little team, they are having an amazing season! We are so proud of them all! At last nights game the coach from the other team said it felt like they were playing a select team. It's really true, they are leaps and bounds above the other teams we play and let's just face it, that's fun! They all enjoy it so much and that's the most important thing! 


Kade got the game ball on Saturday!! He had an amazing game and was making outs and catching some crazy balls. He did awesome and totally earned that game ball! 

Saturday night we had a sitter watch the kids and Bryan and I were able to go to dinner alone! 



We enjoyed dinner out on the deck. Between the weather, the view, the seafood, and the live band I told Bryan it felt like we were on vacation. It was soooo nice! 

 



Sunday we went to church and then took the kids to a local state park and beach! The water was freezing so I didn't pack swimsuits. The beach is known for having fossilized shark teeth so I figured they would look for those and play in the sand... Wrong! We couldn't keep them out of the water! Their clothes ended up soaking wet! 







And one funny story, they were searching for shark teeth and other shells and Ella brought this one to Bryan. He said "oh did you find a shell?" Without skipping a beat she said, "No daddy, I found and ear!" Later she found a similar shell and thought she found the other ear! Hahahaha!!

Nursery progress

Last weekend we cleared out the guest room and started on the nursery! It came together really fast and now I just need to add in a few more things. We are basically starting from scratch because we got rid of all baby things several years ago. We found a crib on Craigslist, the rocker was $25 at a flea market, and the changing table was only $10 from a flea market. Bryan can't complain too much about that! 



This bedroom is pretty tiny but the perfect size for a nursery! 




I love a good before and after. We found this dresser at a flea market. The guy said $20 and Bryan "wheeled and dealed" him down to $10. ;) I thought load that bad boy up we will make it work somehow, you can't beat that price! And I love how it turned out!!

Randoms


Grocery shopping with this little crazy.


Backyard picnic on a gorgeous day! 



Last gymnastics class for the year! 



All I wanted was to drink my coffee in peace... Instead I basically chugged it because these two were very close and wild as ever. :) 


Applying her own makeup. Oh my! 








Class picture day

Ella has class pictures not long ago. She picked her outfit from head to toe and even asked me to use the "hair curly" (curling iron). What a cute little mess!




Science experiment

A few weeks ago Kade was asking whether I thought certain objects would sink or float. I decided to fill a giant bucket up and let them test it out. I had no idea how big of a hit this would be! They were testing everything and they thought it was so fun! They went from testing sink or float to just playing with the water in the buckets for over an hour. I loved watching them just be free and do their own thing. I love little kids because they are so simple and the smallest little thing is a learning experience for them!

Little sister

Ella loves to go to tball to watch Kade and play with her friends. She is just so happy to be outside and having fun. She can't wait for her turn to play! I can totally relate, I spent many days at the field watching my older brother play baseball and I have the best memories. She is such a sweet little sister and is always so proud of Kade!


She found her spot for the parade! 






She was yelling "Gooooo Braves!!" 




And a few more from opening day..
