Don't Hate!

Seriously. Is it really April already? Once we got past all the yucky cold rainy weather, I think I might like it being April! With it being in the 80's the past couple of days {sorry all you Idahoans, you can HAVE the snow!} we have spent so much time out in the sun getting farmer's tans and drinking slushes from Sonic. {Gotta love Happy Hour!} What I could do without is all the POLLEN! aka a green film on EVERYTHING! And, it would be nice to not have to turn on the AC. So not ready for that bill yet!

I took a much needed break from blogging, blog stalking, and facebook! It was such a relief. I came to the conclusion that I just had too many things going on in my brain at one time-with worrying about what everyone is doing constantly. So, by eliminating that, or at least downsizing, I have more time for my own stresses and excitements!








I'm not sure why, but I absolutely love this picture. Paisley had been quiet for quite a while, so I went looking for her. She was sprawled out on the floor, watching tv.




The boys were SO excited one morning to wake up to their very one Popcorn tree!




Easter was a lot of fun. The Easter Bunny brought the kids: Coloring books, crayons, books, toothbrushes, toothpaste {the strawberry kind}, Goldfish {S'mores, cinnamon, pretzel, and cheddar!}, a Bubble blower, and blocks. What? No chocolate? Nope!
We colored the eggs the night before--and guess what? The easter bunny found them and hid them for the kids.






And a slug found the eggs, too!







Like I said earlier--it has been HOT! We went to the beach yesterday with my friend and her kiddos. The weather was perfect, the absence of waves was perfect, but the water was freezing. Which wouldn't have been a problem if Ben hadn't picked me up and thrown me in it! Trust me, I was kicking and screaming.
