Spring Blooms

We took a field trip last week to the Arboretum just in time to see all the tulips blooming. This is one of my very favorite spring activities! I could just walk around this place for hours. So we did....
Hope you enjoy all the beautiful colors!




My sweet girlies. I love having daughters. And I love Beth's dimple...


Looking at the fish.

Tag tried to pick all the flowers. "Just smell them, Tag!"




My cuties. Check out Beth's big hole in her grin. :)

These next few are the "individuals" I attempted to take of all the kids. This is the face Tag makes when you tell him to smile and say "Cheese!"


He's got the dimple too....


Notice Faith Anna's hand on her hip? Loves to pose...



This is my fav of all four. Darn cute bunch.

Tag has just learned how to hold these two fingers up....for "Peace" or for "two years old"...whichever you like. :) But he's been saying "Peace out!" with his Red Raider fingers for months now, so he's perfectly happy to have finally figured this out!

I love this face. Up to some kind of mischief, don't you know....

Dogwoods...remind me of home.


Boys love snakes. Augh.

Girls love pretty flowers.

This is probably my favorite shot of all the tulips. They just don't even look real, do they? So beautiful.

Please notice these next three shots of Tag running. They just crack me up. This is classic Tag with his tongue hanging out in excitement...




Pretty Faith Anna...

Silly Logan...

The kids loved splashing in the water fountains. Remember when getting wet was oh so fun?


Pure joy.





I love this face!


Logan took this of me and my man...of course by my fav yellow tulips. :)

And last but not least, nothing like hanging on a frog!

He is Risen, Indeed!

Happy Easter! Hope you had a blessed weekend thinking of all that Christ has done for us. He has rescued us...taken our place...bridged the gap....made a way. I am so thankful for His forgiveness on the cross...and His trimph over sin and death...a second chance at life! I need second chances....



Beth got this sock monkey for Easter, and couldn't seem to part with it for the pictures!

Tag got his own scooter...finally! He has been riding the other kids' for a few weeks now, and is happy to have his own BLUE one....his favorite color. :) He can ride that thing like a champ! And yes, he's only 2 1/2.
