Really, girls? :)

 Yes! We can plant some of our garden. Kids, you were a really big help this year!

 Daddy took you all out to get new bouncy balls and ice cream, after gardening - what a special "late" night you had ;) Carson you have been asking for a soccer ball, so after this store daddy took you to another store to get the perfect ball! You wanted a standard black and white checkered one! Fun to see you find interests of your own!

  The days are getting longer and weather better...time for a trip to the coast!

 We inherited and improved upon this awesome beach fort!

 My heart leaps for joy when the sun makes it's presence known around here! Thus the reason for more pictures and more outside adventures!
On Wednesday I was motivated for a walk w the girls and another mini-walk w all the kids (all of them walking, no stroller) to the park. Right before Carson destroyed his knee, I had a discussion w them all that if they fell and hurt themselves, they still had to walk home and be tough. I wasn't going to carry them - such a kind mom :) Two seconds later, Carson biffed it! When he said he wanted to go home, the girls cried that they wanted to go to the park. What was I thinking, taking 3 kids to the park at 5pm, when they are all near break-down point? Carson decided to be tough, and head to the park. As soon as we got there, Paislee had to poopy - ha! So, we walk to the store. Of course, she can't go at the store, but needs to again as soon as we get back to the park. We headed home - successful outing :)

 The kids anticipated Mimi coming on Friday, all week! They all got to stay at the motel with her, so were all very excited! They got to go in the hot tub, look for hidden Easter eggs and do other fun things! Paislee wanted a sleeping bag and Carson and Austynn shared a bed :)

 Today we checked out our local "Zany Zoo". They have many different exotic animals. We all enjoyed the little adventure.
