We had such a good time and we were very gratefulof the nice weather. Pretty Great day, other than Daddy was missing it! We will have to bring him next time, huh guys?

Another few pics of Sylvie

As you can see, our little Sylvie Rae is getting quite big. She is so fun and has lots of energy that the kids enjoy on a daily basis. We are hoping that soon she will be fully housebroken, and prefer her toys over Taylor's. Right now Sylvie has a thing for barbies which does not make Taylor too happy. But, all in time I guess. Katie is madly in love with our girl, if you couldn't tell!

Hello to all!

Here we are enjoying a nice spring day. We had a lot of fun utalizing out new patio,and now the kids have teir own little space to work on their messy projects. Oh yes, the playdough is a great example of things mommy stresses about using in the house. And now, not so much. Thanks to Manda for all of the funplaydough stuff. As you can see, the kids think it is fabulous!!!

This is the flower garden that the kids and I created while Tony was at work on Mother's Day...What a better reminder of a wonderful Mother's Day. Something we can enjoy all summer...just hope they survive. Each kind of flowers hold special meaning to our family. Taylor loves geraniums, I LOVE gerbera daisys, momma's favorite are petunias and snapdragons, and my grandpa Dick was a pansy fan. They are all there! Sorry there are no pics of the work in progress...we were DIRTY and was afraid of even touching my camera.

We are doing a lot of fix-ups with the yard this spring, and I will post the finished product soon... I hope! :)

Happy Spring!
