BROWNIES!!

(cooked or not) are a girl's best friend!!!

I was trying to get her to smile... this is the pose she struck :)
"Mommy, you eat!" I didn't move quick enough, and she even got some on the camera!

MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

These pictures are reversed, so this is the beginning and the top ones are after she had the spatula for a while :) Not that the mess on her face didn't already tell that story!

Silly Faces

I think she was eating some candy here, but I am not sure about the "gang sign" she is putting on there... Probably some secret code between her and her toddler friends :)

SSSSSOOOOOUUUUURRRRR!!!! "Ady not like" I am sure she spit whatever this was out immediately after making this face...

Usually this look is accompanied by "Momm-meeeeeee!!! I want __________" Usually candy or a mint, but this is her "I want" face and dance :)

And last but not least, she is the queen of rolling her eyes. I wish I could take credit for catching this look, but Aunt Shannon actually got this shot. I usually miss them and ger her after she is done rolling her eyes...

Turtle Sandbox

Adyson went shopping (gasp!) and she spent some of her Christmas money on a new sandbox! I can't believe this dumb thing cost $50 but it has a lid when the $10 plastic pools do not, so we caved and bought it. Six bags of sand later, she was having fun!!

We decided to put the sandbox on the front porch so that she could play while we mow, or plant flowers, or whatever else. Although, I am thinking now we might move it (HA! sounds fun!) to the back yard so that someone doesn't have to sit with her at all times. Shasta has been been going crazy when she is locked up inside and she knows we are on the front porch.

Unfortunately, Ady's favorite thing to do when she is "ply in dirt" it to scoop it into the flower beds and carry loads into the house and garage. We sweep the entry way every day.

Spring is here!!

We planted a ton of tulip bulbs back in October. They sprouted and quickly became a beautiful showing of pink, purple, and yellow!!

Here is a view of our front porch.

Of course, no spring would be complete without a ton of wind. Here are some of the early bloomers falling apart in the wind.

This color was my favorite, of course I do not know the scientific name for it, but they were really pretty when they were fully bloomed.

This is the last good picture I got of them. The wind has been blowing 30 mph for the last 3 days, so now I have a flower bed full of green stalks and no tulips on top... I did however move the green bush you see below and planted a rose bush. I will get some pictures of it up soon.
