Spring is arriving!

or so we hope! i busted out the patio furniture and the wife beaters at the first glimpse of warm weather. these last few days have been beautiful. we started out with a 70 degree thursday at the zoo with uncle charlie for his birthday. friday was 78! we had some family in town and spent the day with them. it was awesome to play outside, eat outside, lounge outside... you get the point! skylar spent the morning playing in the backyard ALL BY HERSELF. let me tell you folks, this is such a treat for me. she was in the garden, playing with mud and water, making mudpies. she was filthy but i didnt care! i was able to pick up the house and get dressed ALL BY MYSELF. looking out the window every 30 seconds or so. ;-) uncle char came over and they spent time drawing with chalk on the driveway.

the weekend was spent at our cabin. russ enjoyed fishing in his new kayak. i enjoyed sleeping in and playing with the girls! i cant wait for the summer activities to start out there; crafts for the kids, concerts, art shows, farmers markets, etc.

and of course, miss b got her 1st pedicure. gotta love those little painted toes.

i know the pics are not rotated appropriately. picasa and i are having some issues. its too smart for me.
