It's been awhile since I've posted and I'm frantically trying to think of what's been going on. Not too much excitement here. We had a beautiful spring-like week last week. It was sooo nice. The kids broke out their shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops. It was fun to see McKena and Kade discovering "outside" again. They played outside for hours. I also spent a little time in the yard cleaning up some of the mess that didn't get done last fall. The tulips are about 3 inches tall now so we are making progress. Unfortunately the horse manure next door also began to thaw and we were able to enjoy that smell anywhere in our backyard. Almost all of the snow melted, we had a few traces left in our backyard. Of course by Sunday a storm blew in complete with rain and by Monday it was a major snowstorm. It snowed huge fluffy flakes for hours and covered the ground with 2-3 inches. The snow didn't stay for long though, as our balmy 40 degrees today was enough to melt it. We have more storms ahead this week but it should warm up again next week.
All of the kids are enjoying school, and I'm enjoying my quiet afternoons with Kade. If I'm lucky I can get an occassional nap out of him. I've been trying to get all of my piano students prepared for a recital that is next week. After that, I am looking forward to a visit from my sisters, spring break, my in-laws arriving home from their mission, Easter, and soccer season. The year is just flying by!

Feeling your pain...no snow here but cold cold rain. Pooh on that kind of weather. I can't wait to come. Love Kade's spikey doo and can't believe McKena looks so old. You're not allowed to flat iron out her curls..what I wouldn't give for my girls to have curls! She looks awfully cute. I miss you all and am excited to see you soon soon soon!
It's funny that you can wear shorts one week and have your coat back on the next. Your kids suddenly look so big, especially Colin.
Good luck on your piano recital. I am glad the time is going fast--I like it when it does. You will be sorry when school is out though. Have a great time when Garr and Karalee get home. I am really looking forward to General Conference.
What gorgeous kids you have! We're also so glad that Spring is here!
