Spring has sprung!!!

Spring is such a pretty time of year.  Everything is budding and starting to bloom.  The greenhouses are packed full of life!  It's my happy place right now!!!  :)))
 
Spring also has us working outside and pulling weeds.  The 20 yards of mulch got laid and the flowers are now planted!!!  The grass is green and I am so delighted to see our new, young dogwood trees are blooming!  I love these trees and dreamt of having some in our landscaping some day!!!  The cherry blossom trees in the front yard are over their peak but put on a pretty show!!!  It now looks likes it's snowing pretty pick flowers all over the lawn!
 
Hunter was here one afternoon and kids put him right to work!!!  Or play!!!???!!!  :)))






Family project!!!
 
=====================================
 
Ashlyn lost her first tooth the other night!  She has been busy wiggling and wiggling this tiny tooth for a few weeks and finally it was loose enough for Mike to give a tug and out it popped!!!
 


======================
 
We got to have our first campfire the other evening!!!  Ashlyn was so happy because she keeps begging for campfires and watermelon!!!  :)))
 
Again, Hunter was here and they had fun making smores!
 






 
=====================
 
We got a deal at the grocery store for Easter Egg Dye like 75% off.  Ashlyn wanted a project to do, so she decorated eggs.  Fun for her.
 
 
 
==========================
 
With the orchard trees being in full bloom, I scurried the kids off to get some pictures of them.  We were in tears and not wanting to go by this little miss.  She was NOT into it but when Mom has something in mind, we tend to go for it!!!  :)
 
And look ... they turned out so cute.  I literally washed their dirty faces and put them on some clean clothes and snapped pictures of them as they ran through the orchard trees!  Nothing too stressful with what to wear or when to smile! 
 


Ashlyn - 6 years old.








Austin - 22 months old.


XOXO!!!









====================================

And because today was so sunny and gorgeous, we got the little pool out for a little while!!!  These two will have many hours in the pool water this summer!!!  We are excited!!!




==============================

The weekend weather is looking wonderful!!!  We are going to enjoy the outdoors!

Please keep praying for the Lapp Family!  We are taking one hour at a time as to when or if Mike and I need to go to Arizona!  Thank you so much for all that have texted and called and offered to babysit, etc..  This is a very tough journey but God is still good!!!  All the time!!!  We have so much to be thankful for!!!
