Ok...this picture was actually taken on February 25th which is still technically winter, but we did have snow on the ground this weekend too...the 1st days of spring break. We didn't have this much snow, but it comes and goes just as fast. Before the storm above, it had been beautiful outside. No snow at all and a little hint of spring in the air. But the snow came quick and my kids were out there at 7:30 in the morning getting as much playing time in as they could before it melted, which ALL of it did before they even got home from school. CRAZY!
I took the following pictures of my front yard on Wednesday because I was scared my spring happiness would be covered in snow when all of our guests came last weekend. I wanted to have proof that spring was kinda in the air. :) I LOVE when the fall bulbs start to bloom and luckily the beautiful color could still be seen even in the snow. My brother's girlfriend did comment on how pretty our snow was here. We said, "yes, because it comes straight down." Actually Lehi wind does blow in some good storms, but I do feel the warmth of summer coming soon!
So what do we do when the storms dampin' our style?
Well this picture was taken one Friday when we couldn't find any friends to play with. Everyone seemed to have something to do....but we put smiles on our faces and we just make the most of any storm that comes our way!
We do usually manage to find good friends to do crazy things with.
We color!
And watch movies!
And cartoons!
We shop! (ooops....I mean dream--this was a cell phone picture sent to daddy at work)
The leprechaun came to visit!
And we play ball inside!
And when the weather decides to cooperate....
We play ball outside!
And ride horses!
And finally run outside with our new Garmin GPS watch!
SPRING BREAK!!
YES IT IS!!
And it is wonderful!
It is 8:30 on Tuesday morning and Kierra is still the only kid awake! It was so wonderful to just relax yesterday and again today. I think we might go swimming today and then we have big plans for the rest of the week with some great friends! We can't wait!
Hope your spring has been just as unpredictable and fun!
