Kelli's New Hair

Kelli has been begging me for quite some time to let her cut her hair like her cousins.  (Yes Wade and Jenny, your kids are an inspiration. Now she can be called bob #4.)  So I finally let her and another thing she wanted to do was donate her hair to locks of love.  I haven't seen her hair this short since she was 18 months old.

Well, here is your before shot...( her hair was back in a pony tail and I put it down so we could see the length, so it is a little messy.)















And after...

My Little Soccer Player

Kelli has started to play soccer this year.  She is doing quite well for her first time and she seems to enjoy it, especially when she is goal keeper.  She likes to dance and twirl around in front of the goal.  At her last game, I had to keep yelling at her, "Kelli, watch the ball!"  She is quite funny, but so are all the other kids on the team.  It's fun to watch all of them play soccer at such a young age.  The other great thing is that Kelli's daddy is her coach!

Getting ready and excited for the big game!















Preparing the mind for the big game!

"This time, I'm watching the ball and I'm ready!"

Springtime Fun and Easter

With the weather warming up, you can't help but get outside and enjoy the warm sunshine. So that is what we did last week on Thursday. I packed Carson in the backpack, packed a picnic lunch, and headed out the door with the dog. We hiked around in "the wild" as what Kelli calls it. There are a lot a trails by my house which make it fun for exploration and exercise. Anyway, so we hiked around on a trail, sat down in the trees and had a picnic lunch.

Easter came and my kids loved every minute of it. We started out letting the kids check out what was in their Easter baskets. In the afternoon, we had a BBQ and then we went back out in "the wild" to search for eggs which I hid a little earlier. And of course they loved looking for their eggs.

Here they are headed out to the secret hiding spot.

Finding the eggs.

Oh and just a little side note, look at what we have found in "the wild" by my house.

It seems quite tame which I'm sure you can tell by how close I got to it and I wonder what on earth is a pheasant doing up here!
