READY, SET, GO!

Connor's new favorite thing to say is "ready, set, go" 

then he takes off running around the house.

He spent most of his morning filling the back of this truck with dog food

and dumping it out for the dogs to eat.  

We have cabin fever bad today, we're excited the weather is warming up.
We are ready for some park days!

This is one of Justin's old toy cars he's kept all these years.  

I love that he's now given it to Connor to play with.

So fun! 

MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS

 One of my favorite books when I was little was

 MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS by Robert McCloskey. 

 I will be headed to Barnes and Nobles this week to pick up a copy for Connor.

If you've read the book you know it's about a friendly police officer named Michael who lives in Boston and helps a mother duck and her ducklings cross the busy road.  

There is even a park in Boston dedicated to this sweet book.  

Here's a photo of the me at the park.

We have these signs posted around our neighborhood 

We also have flocks of ducks and ducklings.  Connor and I get so excited when we pass them on our walks.  

Sunday we saw these cutest bright yellow ducklings.  Their Mama was getting pretty upset so we kept our distance.  

We also watched the cars stop and wait patiently for this group to cross the road.  They couldn't decided what side they wanted to be on.  Finally they decided to head for the golf course! 

It's so fun having ducks in the neighborhood and you can imagine how excited Connor gets when we see these sweet ducklings.  Happy Spring! 

EASTER

We had a great Easter Sunday at our house.  We started our day early and ended it late.

Connor woke up to a basket full of goodies.  

He had a great Easter egg hunt at his Oma's house.

After dinner we had quite the baseball game going on.  

Love this picture of Connor and his Dad! 

LAST MINUTE EASTER IDEAS

 Easter weekend has snuck up quickly.  Here are some fun last minute Easter ideas from Martha Stewart.  

We've been roasting marshmallows on the fire pit tonight and are getting up early for Easter egg hunts in the morning.  I'll be sure to post pictures soon!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 

FOUR WHEELING

Connor has a friend named Redd who lives next door.  We are happy he has a playmate so close.
These boys are usually pretty funny when they get together. They both love football and four wheeling!

HOMES AND BABIES

I'm sure most of you have heard the saying 

"We may have a small home, but God knows where we live"

I love small homes, and I love small homes filled with happy people.  

I have always said, I could easily have three children in my house and people look at me like I'm crazy!  

Well... I am a crazy, but today I figured out how to make it work.

Really, what child wouldn't love this bedroom?

Lately I'm feeling like the problem isn't so much fitting three children in the home, as it is getting three children to our home.

People say to me all the time, why don't you worry about getting a larger home and then worry about more children.  And they think I'm crazy.  I'd pick babies over a house any day!

George Banks said it best, "I love this house.  I love that I taught my kids to ride their bikes in the driveway.  I love that I slept with them in tents in the backyard.  I love that we carved our initials in the tree out front.  This house is warm in the winter, cool in the summer and looks spectacular with Christmas lights.  It's a great house.  I never want to move.  But the thing I think I like best about this house are the voices I hear when I walk through the door."
If you don't know who George Banks is, think Father of the Bride. 
I admit their big white house might be my ultimate dream home.

CURLY HAIRED BOY

This video is too funny of Connor shaking his curls!
