House update!

Things are progressing nicely! We now have a roof with shingles, tyvek is partially up, and windows downstairs! All this has happened in 2 days! Wow!

Spring Break 2011

We had a pretty quiet Spring Break here and just did our usual routine for the most part with the exception of the Rodeo and some pool time thanks to Sarah!! This was our first time since last summer that we have been “swimming” so I was anxious to see how they would like it! The water was FREEZING but Finley enjoyed it with a “whoa” here and there as she got splashed!

 

Zane wanted nothing to do with the frigid H2O…I don’t blame him! So instead he did a little yard work…just a little mowing, sweeping, and watering…this boy can do it all!

Gardening 101

We had some yard work done last week and Finley and Zane were examining the work! Who knew fresh new mulch could be so fun!

Giddyup…our first Rodeo!

We headed to the Rodeo last week and took in all the sights and sounds! We hit up Kidstown first where they had Farmer for a day, pony rides, petting zoo, puppet show and more!

  

We cheered on Blakeley and Woods as they rode the pony! Woods was a natural cowboy…giggled the whole time!!

 

Then we checked out all the animals in the Livestock show! We even got to see a BEVO!! Hook ‘em!

I braved it on my own and we had a good time (thankfully Sarah and Brant were there).  I am looking forward to better planning next year so that daddy can go with us and we can experience all that the Rodeo has to offer!

Yee-haw!

Finley and Zane earn their keep!

I am finally getting some help around here…’bout time!!

FYI…It may sound loud in the video but it really isn’t much louder than a hairdryer!

Nah…momma just got her new favorite toy…a 2-in-1 vacuum/hand vac (thank you, GG)!! I love it…it is lightweight for those small messes and I can just unsnap the hand vac and take it to the car to clean up all of F and Z’s leftovers! Oh and best of all… it is cordless and pretty darn powerful!

Zane’s form is impressive, huh?!!?

I was so surprised when Finley jumped in to help too.  Normally she is terrified of the regular vacuum! It was a hit all around!

Happy Mardi Gras!!

We celebrated in style thanks to Grammy (shirts) and GG (accessories)!!! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

 

Kite Fest 2011

We headed down to the Kite Fest again this year.  We’ve come a long way since last year when we were able to put Finley and Zane on a blanket and they stayed on it! This year we chased them around! It was so fun to watch their excitement as they took in all the sights and sounds!

Kite Fest 2011

I really think Zane thought he had won the lottery when someone’s kite landed right next to him! He wasn’t too happy when I pulled him away!

Like father, like son! Love these boys!

 

We were lucky to meet up with some of our friends too! It was a gorgeous day and was so happy enjoy it with friends and family!
