The Blonde haired cousins

I took Kade and Addie over to Becca's house this morning. Jewelia played with her cousins outside on her WONDERFUL play set. And inside in her WONDERFUL playroom. Here are a few pics of the girls. Jewelia must have thought her hair was not up to snuff today, she asked to wear a hat. She has the most beautiful curls.
Addie's hair is really getting long,
her hair is very fine, with just a little wave.

Thank you, Natalie,
I
Love
Them!

Maggie loves the park

So I drove up to see Paulie this past weekend.
The "kids", Maggie and Sophie went along
for the ride. Both were very good on the
10 1/2 hour drive to Richland, WA.

Maggie liked all the walks we went on each day,
we checked out many parks in Richland, usually along
the Columbia River.

It is a pretty, blue river, on Saturday there were
lots of boats out enjoying the nice weather.

Sophie decided that she wanted to sit on my lap
or ride shot-gun. So after about 4 hours of this
she got to ride caged!






I took this picture of a cabin cruiser on the river; when I was young we used to have one kind of like this. I remember going out on it, and being tied to a rope and swimming from the boat.

Tree Art

We came across these
neat tree carvings
at a park along the
Columbia River in Richland,WA.

This tree is in the beginning stages of
transformation.
Cool!

Spring Flowers!!!!

I had a huge bag of topsoil delivered last week.
My front garden looks great.

I love when the pansies and daffodils come up
The tulips are getting ready also.

Addie is ready for RED HATS!!!

Addie pulled this "Red Hat"
out today.
Doesn't she look GREAT!!!
I can see another RED HATTER
in the future!
