Winter and Springish

New Year, New Cat!  This was Sawyer (named after Tom Sawyer....) when we first got him!
He's grown!  The kids have gotten much more comfortable around him- almost too much! Hallie likes to carry him around and talk to him like a baby and Justin has never had a fear of him, even when he plays with Justin's feet!

Justin with his Marshall firefighter hat!

The kids love their hooded beach towels for their bath towels!

Hopefully this means we're on our way to actually swimming!

They love the "customer in training" carts when we

do Family Grocery shopping!

Good times with Miranda

Easter dyeing eggs with Nana and Papa

Hanging out for Easter at PawPaw and Karen's

Justin is FOUR! How can that be?

Not sure where she learned this.....

Hallie went to Defy Gravity with McKenzie and Miranda!

She loved it! Great place to get out energy!

Hallie was nervous to jump off this top

platform, but ended up working up the courage

to do so a few times!  I was so proud!  Not afraid of heights!

Lately, the kids have enjoyed a dance time to Pandora music we listen to through the tv
and a favorite movie now is "Zombies" (which is a musical)....
it used to be the new "Annie" but I was informed
that no longer was a favorite movie.....

We went to a spring festival and Hallie got on a horse all by herself!
The last time was a year and a half ago and
 I had to ride with her so this was great!

Hallie has also said some cute phrases:

She said she "therometered" herself aka took her temperature

and she weighted herself and said "I weigh 500 pounds!"....

It said 50.0
