Dirt Road Kids

“Egg, Egg, Where Are You?”

 

We had a little easter egg hunt at gramma and grampa’s.

It was super windy and rather cool.  We opted to put the eggs out in the alfalfa field.

The little girls paired up with one of the bigger kids, and off we went.

The little girls had so much fun looking for the eggs,

and all of us bigger girls had so much fun watching them!

In fact, I had so much fun watching them, that I hardly have any pictures of my own kids.  Bad momma!

Honestly…my kids never mind at all when someone else is the subject of my camera for a day.

And I don’t that the it gets much cuter than these two!

It was a fun day, and great family time!

Easter with the Littles

We got to spend Saturday of Easter weekend with the little girls.

They are so fun.  I wish they lived closer so that we could see them more often.

Somehow, it seems, I forget to take many pics of my kiddo’s when these two are around.

Coloring eggs was lots of fun!  When we finished, we went outside for an Easter egg hunt.

Those pics will be next

Country Sunset

 

 

Kids…

blossoms,

and green grass.

Welcome to Spring!

Allyana took the dirt bike out for the first time this year last week.

She really likes to ride.

That makes her daddy happy.

Today, I made cherry pie.

The girls made mud pies…

{Please ignore the fact the Zoe appears to be wearing nearly every color under the sun…}

And Daisy n Joe chased imaginary critters around the yard.

 

Hmmmmm….

The Lorax, The Salon, and Toe Socks…

The girls and I spend Sunday afternoon out on the town.

Our first stop was the movie, The Lorax.

It was a good show…some biblical parallels even.

And my favorite quote…”A tree falls the way it leans.  Be careful which way you lean.”  Dr. Suess

Noticing the biblical parallels was what kept me from turning around to reprimand the girl that wouldn’t quit kicking my seat…but that’s another story.

After the movie, we went to have the girl’s hair cut.

Zoe went first.

Ally looked at very interesting haircuts.

After a few pages, she wasn’t sure she wanted her hair cut at all.

Zoe had about two inches cut off, a nice little bob, with even bangs.

Ally just had a trim, with a couple of long layers added.

This is before:

during,

and after!

Our last stop was Walmart, for exciting things like laundry soap and cereal.

Oh, and toe socks.

 

So Pretty!

My boys and I were gone for a 4H contest over the weekend.

I came home to these gorgeous flowers.

Alan does buy me flowers fairly often, but I can’t remember the last time he brought home anything besides red roses.

I have to say, I love these!

The colors are amazing.

Snow Boarding

Sawyer brought his snowboard along to Uncle Pete’s.

He did pretty good…

He made it all the way to the bottom.

See, all the way to the bottom…

Snow!

I don’t ever remember having an open winter before…

not like this year.

It snowed on November 19…I remember that because it is Alan’s birthday.

It melted a couple of days later, and hadn’t snowed again til leap day.

February 29th.  When leap day turned into a

SNOW DAY!!!!
