Springtime

I'm going to write a post later on my spring break... it was a beautiful learning time for our marriage and I love how God shows up even bigger than you expect in the midst of brokeness.....

But for now, I want to share with you some pictures I was able to take of the kiddos in the Texas bluebonnetslast week.... I didn't get as many as I would have liked of the older two kiddos, but they were having too much fun running around! Isn't springtime awesome??

New Year's Eve... just a tad late ;)

We usually stay home on New Year's Eve as we have a dog who is not so fond of all the fireworks that go off around the neighborhood. There were a LOT of fireworks this year. I am thinking it was because we weren't allowed to have any on the fourth of July because of the drought.....At any rate, we hung out with our next door neighbors and some of their friends. Jason was the hit of the night, lighting fireworks for all the kids. Can you tell their amazement?

 It's noce to live in a state where you are allowed to personally shoot off fireworks. I can only imagine the stupid things people in CA would try to do... The fireworks we got were cool and not too dangerous. :)

 The girls liked the lights, but not the sounds. Jenna stayed the whole time in the garage drawing on their whiteboard. Occasionally she went inside for a snack...

All in all, we had a ton of fun and didn't have to worry about crazy people on the road because when kids got tired, we just had to walk across the lawn to our house!

PS - LOVE our house still!
