Spring?

It seems that it may be spring here in Indiana. We are cautiously optimistic. It has been in the 60's and the boys think it is warm enough to go without a shirt! I guess when it's been winter for so long 60 seems pretty warm. They have been out playing and spending alot of time jumping and playing on the trampoline. Problem is we have to play too and they are wearing us (me) out! I thought we got the trampoline for the kids?! We did have a great time today playing with them tho.
We took all of them to start their immunizations today. It's taken us awhile to be able to have a day where both of us could go and the health department is open. They did pretty well. A little crying from the younger two, but no kicking and screaming. Andrew cried until he saw the container of candy and then he stopped crying immediately! With him candy can cure any problem and cure it really quickly. Now we have to figure out how to get them back in a month! They will know what the deal is next time.
Here are some pictures of a fire pit we made Saturday night. We had been hauling home large pieces of stone from my Mom's house for a year to do some landscaping with. We weren't getting very far with that, so decided to do this. I think it looks good and will work really well. Our neighbor Scott came over and joined us for the inaugural fire. Only problem is it stays light so late now we have to let the boys stay up in order to enjoy a far after it gets dark. Maybe we'll have to have some daylight fires.
Hoping for more warm days.

The fire pit looks great! How fun!

We are waiting for spring to come to Utah, too! It's cold today, but supposed to be in the 70's this weekend! Yeah! We will definitely be going to the park!

It will be nice to see spring. I'm sure the boys love the fire. Won't be long before they want hot dogs and marshmallows to roast. Love you all, Mom

Boy do I understand your itching for spring! The weather in Kansas City brought snow flurries today. . .in April! UGH! How neat to enjoy such quality family time. Glad to hear the immunizations went ok. I know that's a high source of anxiety with me once we get our kids home! Hope this week brings beautiful weather to enjoy as a family!
