"All I've Dreamed Of"

Imagine an 8 yr old girls excitement to find out that she gets to ride in a limosine...now add another 8 yr old girl and guess what you get??? The loudest screams you've ever heard! One of their friends called Saturday morning (she is also on their soccer team) and asked if they could go for a ride in a limo after their soccer game. Her aunt was going to be going to pick kids up for prom and had offered to take her and some friends for a ride.

So, while the girls went on their ride, Kale went with Dad to the field - which to him is the most exciting thing EVER! When I got the kids all picked up, they were all bragging to each other about their afternoons, as if to one-up the other. All Ana could say was "Kale, it was SO fun...it's all I've ever dreamed of"!!!


Think Spring!!!

FINALLY, the men are planting!!! The weather seemed to take it's own sweet time in allowing it, but they're officially moving now. We have a field that is very sandy so we were one of very few to be out last week so I'm sure that got everyone around really itchy to be out as well!!

I love spring - I love watching the grass turn green, the kids being able to play outside without winter coats, mowing again (yes, I love to mow!!), and I really love watching the birds that were gone all winter appear again. Never really thought I'd be a person that loved watching birds, but I really do!! The kids find amazement in them too - they get so excited when they come to our bird feeders!! And by the pictures below, so does our cat!!!!
