Long-Grain Rice

Here is a bit of a catch up post! We have been so busy with playing outside that I haven't got to the computer much! But we have been having a lot of fun and enjoying the warm (almost too warm) weather. There is only 15 days left of the school year and then summer so more warm weather activities to come.
We celebrated Nana's birthday at the end of April. I won't tell how old Nana is because she might come over and get me but lets just say it was a bit of a milestone.

Happy birthday Nana!

The butterflies are out and I am a catching machine.

With warm weather, brings rain. Sometimes a lot of it so mommy had some crafts ready. Colored mini volcanoes.

Hady loves bubbles and straws so we tried a new bubble trick.
PS don't drink the bubble juice. YUCK!

And I have been begging to set up the slip n slide and finally we had a day that was warm enough to put on swimsuits and play outside. The water was still cold but on this extra warm day, we still played for hours.

Hady really couldn't figure out how to slide.

She liked the sprinklers.

And running through them.

I guess girls will be girls...but I like to slide and slide fast.

First field trip.

And guess where we went...you will never guess. We went to Kroger (the grocery store) and we got to go behind the scenes and got to try LOTS of food.

My preschool friends (some of them are in the afternoon class but we all went together)

Friends for a long time!

So excited, we started with ice cream.

We felt what it would be like to be ice cream in the freezer....burrr!

The live lobsters hadn't arrived yet so we held other things.

Next stop, bakery! And lots and lots of food!

In a couple more weeks we get to go on a nature hike and then before I know it my first year of preschool will be over!

Easter morning!

So the Easter bunny did visit our house even though Mommy wouldn't say I went to bed early last night. I was pushing it...daddy was in bed and asleep before me but when I woke up this morning I saw eggs, eggs and more eggs...oh, and a note from the Easter bunny!

Hunting.

Found our special eggs with clues inside to lead us to our Easter baskets, Hady's was hidden in mommy's shower and mine was hidden next to Reagan's dogfood.

And of course, pictures.

And more pictures.

Oh, wait and more!

The Easter bunny even came to Nene and Duke's house and brought us tennis rackets.

And more egg hunting!

And our attempt at a family picture on Easter!

Easter festivities!

Another holiday and another visitor to our house. This time the Easter bunny is coming to visit so we need to get ready. We got ready with Easter eggs, a bunny cake and some egg hunts.

Egg hunt #1...YMCA!

Egg dying time!

Bunny cake!

Easter carnival and egg hunt at country club!

Found some eggs!

Lots of eggs!

Early Easter with Papa, Nana and Nan!

And then we went to bed early so the Easter bunny could visit our house!

85th birthday celebrations and more springtime activities.

So spring is in full swing...we are having birthday parties at the lake. My great grandma Lois turned 85 in March and we all went to grandpa's lake to celebrate. I, of course, had a blast running and playing, even though daddy said I couldn't go tubing.
Maybe soon...

But I did run.

And chased Hady.

And play frisbee and soccer, even Charley joined in.

Hady got some love from her aunts and uncles.

And of course, yummy birthday cake.

We have been busy so far this spring. Daddy is busy taking care of the yard which means I spend a lot of time chasing him on my four wheeler and Hady tries to get daddy to take her for rides. When we aren't busy around the house, we head to the lake. I helped daddy and papa put the boat in and it was a piece of cake. Last weekend we enjoyed our first boat ride of the season on Lake Lemon.

Oh, they go so fast...NOT!
