Spring pics

Spring is here--and I am behind on posting pics. I have been hit by the deployment blues over the past few weeks. Which means a real lose of motivation. I feel like I maybe starting to see the other side of the slump. After much prayer and a few new summer plants, I am starting to feel more like myself. Here are a few pictures from our last few weeks.
I love pots. This big green one is new to my collection. I learned a few tricks after last year. I am hopeful to have better luck this time around. Reece has been learning about plants at school. Here is his plant project from last week. We have both been amazed at how fast plants grow!



Here is one of my pots in the back yard--lots of sun. I pray they make it through our hot Alabama summer!
Reece helped me plant today--well he at least kept me company.

Mariemma never keeps her glasses on--but today she learned they really do help on sunny days. She just looks so cute.

On Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt with cousins Evie and Jonas. Here are the boys eating a cookie

We had to pull them out of the air bounce. They could have played all day.

Oh the joys of finding eggs. I just love how this picture turned out!

This is another cool pic--I kinda like the overexposed look. This was really fun to both kids. Reece rode the pony and Mariemma made horse nosies while she watched.

Ok so this was Mariemma's first egg hunt. I asked Reece to teach her how to find eggs. Well at first he just grabbed them all but by the end he really started to delight in watching ME discover them for herself. Reece really wanted ME to find this one hidden in the tree.

My mom was so sweet to give the kids these egg grabbers--for lack of a better word. They pick the eggs up out of the dye. Well ME had no idea what they were used for but she really liked playing with them!

Yes I have to say this was the cleanest egg dying experience ever! But he did such a good job.
