Well its been awhile since we signed a contract for a house, but now we have something to show for it.

And now we have walls!  Well at least on the bottom floor we do.  It’s a lot of fun seeing the changes.  We are super excited about our backyard.  Lots of room for the kids to play and for me to have a garden! 

We Love Being Outside!

We sure are happy when spring comes around here.  Don’t get me wrong, we love snow and winter and would miss them if we didn’t have them, but it is much easier to play outside when it is warm.

We always have fun with cousins.  Sword fighting, riding in wagons, and other crazy fun things.

Katelynn and Jane have fun playing together.  Jane has been crawling for a month and a half now and can go really fast.  Katelynn likes to get down and crawl with her sometimes.

When its not warm outside we like to build awesome forts to play in.  This is one we built on a snowy day the end of April.  It was probably on a day where we got at lest six inches of snow.

We splash in puddles when we find them at the park, or not at the park.  This is Katelynn’s friend Andrew.  We play with him quite a bit.

Jane loves being outside and loves swinging.  It is fun to see her growing up.  Katelynn loves going to the park and asks all the time if we can go.  She is kind of funny though because she is petrified of getting up on the toys sometimes.  She doesn’t like that she can see the ground through the floor.  I have to go up with her and hold her hand.  She did this last summer too.  She is getting braver though and hopefully soon she won’t be scare at all.

These are our friends, the Robinsons.  We have game nights with them fairly often.  We play all sorts of games.  It is a little crazy at times, but that is part of what makes it fun!

Katelynn loves her Aunt Shanna!  They have a lot of fun together.  Katelynn is either asking to go to the park or to go to Aunt Shanna’s.  We love having family close by!  We chill together almost every Sunday.

Going to the park is always fun.  Katelynn flew her first kite by herself the other day.  She loved it!  She didn’t even crash it into any trees, although she came pretty close a few times.

The Month of March

March was just yesterday, right?  That is what it seems like anyways and now it is May.

Gotta go to the park when its nice outside.  Katelynn loves being outside and so does Jane.

Katelynn loves helping us cook in the kitchen.  She also loves helping me do the dishes.  It gets a little wet at time, ok, maybe a lot wet, but I sure love the help.  I have to get it before she decides she doesn’t want to help.

Having fun at dinner time!  Katelynn provides some great entertainment for us at dinner time.  Jane does pretty good herself too.

Sometimes Katelynn makes us laugh a lot.  The other day she got stuck in her tea set pot.  We had to take a picture before we got her out.

We went to Rohan’s pinewood derby in March.  It was awesome!  We haven’t been to one in a long time.  Rohan’s soccer car was awesome too!  He did a great job.

We love going for walks in our double jogging stroller.  We have soo much fun with our two little girls!  We love them very much.
