Enjoying the spring weather!


I found a pair of little wranglers that were Cade's. They have an elastic waistband so they were able to stay up over Avery's little butt with no problems plus she looked super cute in them and her little muck boots.


Going for a wagon ride. Note Cade's shiny new gun. I got him a pair of six shooters with a two holster belt. The belt is a little big and the guns fall out of the holsters when he runs, but the guns are a big hit.

Avery got a pinwheel from her Grandpa Harlen in the easter basket he sent and the kids had a fun time with it out in the wind.


It looks like they are getting ready to plant a flag on top of the ramp and claim it for their own!

Avery's Dance Moves

Cade


Cade was busy roping outside Sunday.


He caught a big one!

Every cowboy needs a horse!

A Neat Sunset


The way the sun was setting behind the clouds the other night looked really cool. I thought it made it look like there were three suns setting instead of just the one.

Fun with boxes


I went to Costco and came home with some boxes that the kids immediately climbed into and were content to play in for about twenty minutes which gave me enough time to get supper ready!


Gotta have milk!

The Shrine Circus


Cade has been so excited to go to the circus of course we have really been talking it up for him. He even believed me when I told him I heard he couldn't go to the circus unless he had a haircut so he finally happily let me cut his hair. He couldn't wait to see the elephants and ride the elephants until he saw just how big they really are in real life and he couldn't be convinced to take a step towards them at all. He did get to do the pony ride with Avery. They both seemed to think that was great and I had to peel Avery off her pony.

Carter rode the elephant this year! We made it all the way through until intermission and it all fell apart so home we went!! Maybe next year we will make it through the whole show

All bundled up!


It seems to be an endless cycle of snowing and then having a few really nice days and then going back to the cold. SO we are all weary of mud , mud, and cold! Ready for the sunshine and nice 50-70 degree weather of spring.


What a sweet brother! Notice how he holds his sucker back so she isn't tempted to grab it! Avery has a great time splashing in the mud puddles and eating snow although when she is all bundled up she has a hard time getting back up and won't keep her mittens on. Cade also loves to get outside every chance he gets and drags Rance on all kinds of adventures with hide and seek and shooting big bears!
