Spring has Sprung

We decided to venture out to a new place, the Grapevine Botanical Gardens. I loved it - it was so beautiful and small enough that I wasn't overwhelmed! I got a little camera happy so brace yourself for photo overload!Brigham enjoyed gnawing on a carrot that was almost as big as him!
Kabe and Ayvri really loved looking at the fish!
Doesn't he look sweet?

Ayvri and Kabe have such a funny special relationship. Most of the time they are wrestling with each other and they play really well together. He watches out for her and she is always chasing after him!
Ayvri was picture perfect although I had to really talk to get her to not pick the flowers!
This is what happens when Kabe is done taking pictures and Mom isn't. We have a lot of pictures like this!
This is what happens when Ayvri realizes Kabe is pulling a grumpy fit and she thinks it's pretty funny to tease him.
This is Kabe saying "Mom - enough is enough, can't I go play on the playground?"
The girl had to swing when she saw that they are "Yayo" her ultimate favorite color!
Finally! The playground - now I can run and be wild and get dirty.
This giant spiderweb toy was so much fun!
Such cute kiddos and a very thankful Mommy! I love this time of year!!!

Such a darling family Toni,
Thanks for all the pictures.
Tell the kids hi for me. We sure love you and miss you much.
Tell Kabe that Grampa's head is always cold and he is so blessed to have hair. I bet he figures it out before too long. course you have better weather there. Jim would love to wear his hat to church, but alas, I can't talk him into it. oh well, He was thinking when he was the Bishop of wearing one of those Jewish caps that fit close to your head, but thought the members wouldn't understand :(
but his head sure gets cold.

Love
Mom P
