Spring has sprung

and I love it ... minus the whole "spring forward" time change thing! Spring is a great season ... nice cool weather, celebrating Easter, great bright & cheerful colors, spring break, LOTS of family birthdays (on Ashley's side), flowers start to bloom, trees get their leaves & the grass comes back ... and that's just a few great things that God has this season doing!

I finally got a chance to change up our blog today ... I've been wanting a change for a while now and it is pretty easy to do, but it does take some time ... especially working with the html code (since I'm not a techy)! So, today we said good-bye to the winter snowflakes and moved into more of a spring-inspired design ... finally ... I mean it is March 12th already! Not sure if this one is what I'll end up staying with, but at least it's bright & cheerful ... I think it is, anyways ... so we'll see.

Today, Kendall & I spent a little time swinging on our front porch swing ... just enjoying our time and the beautiful day that God created! Once Ash came home, we spent some time in our back yard ... cleaning out leaves that had fallen into the pool, playing with Cassie (who desperately wanted to go swimming ... and practically did after trying to retrieve her Frisbee that she continued to toss into the pool, herself! ha!), and looking around at all the landscaping work that needs to be done! We love our backyard, but it is a bit high maintenance ... but definitely worth it ... I LOVE our backyard in the spring and summer! We are getting cost bids for putting up a fence around our pool ... it's time now with Little Miss about to get mobile.

Now for some spring cleaning ... lots of hard work ahead of us for several projects that we want to get done, but after it's all done, it sure looks great and clean! We are getting started this weekend ... so, Welcome Back, Spring ... Welcome Back!


Happy Birthday to our sweet niece, Sadie ... she turns 4 today and she is sooo adorable with her beautiful blonde hair and big blue eyes! Can't wait to see you in a few months when we come to Canada to visit you!
