April in Pics

Woah! I guess we've been busy in April :). Sometimes I forget until I look back at the pictures. Here's a little recap of what we've been up to.

We've had some GREAT days of playing outside!! This is what the kids looked like when I walked out to the trampoline (Zane had been laying down). Otherwise, not posed! They were just hanging out :). After they finished playing I did make them pose for this one. They've been swimming in this freezing pool! People say, "So you already opened it?!" I have to tell them that it was NEVER closed :(. There's a more recent pic at the end...We had so much fun playing at the park with Carter and Shell. She's been doing a long term sub job so I've really missed seeing them (and calling her randomly :)). They look like they're planning something!Lydia likes to play on the big top step of the pool. She had a BALL with the waterhose!

We finished soccer and Harrison has started baseball. He is playing in the coach pitch league. He's doing great!! I'll get a pic in his uniform on here soon. I just loved the sunglasses :).

Here's his number ONE fan (although his Poppy would argue that and he'd probably win:)).When he got up to bat she said, "There's H!! That's Harrison!! He's my brother!!" She was proud of him :).

We had some friends over for dinner one night. This is their daughter Evan (she has a twin brother named Spencer). They are such sweet kids. I'm kind of holding out that she could be my daughter-in-law one day :). Isn't she cute?!

We've been replacing some trees out around the pool. Lyddie LOVES to help us! She gets in the hole and scoops out the extra dirt.

This is Lydia's new BFF. Her name is Mr. Coconut (Zane and Courtney named her before we knew the gender). We've pretty much dropped the "Mr." but I still call her him. She adopted us about a month ago. I'm really not a cat person but she just had this personality! She also tolerates Lydia as you're about to see :)!

Her dress got wet in the pool. This picture COULD show up in the wedding slide show some day!

So it's not a GREAT picture of the "almost finished" pool! We only have a couple of things left and I'll get some better pictures. I can't believe it's taken so long to complete it! When we started it a YEAR ago we were told it would take about 6 weeks :). Oh well, we'll appreciate it more than we would have!! I took this picture right before I put them in the trash! She's been "clean" for several weeks but I hadn't thrown them away. I'm proud of you Lyddie!!!

The playhouse gets used as a fort in the war. It's pretty funny to listen to them :).
