Swinging on the Swingset

Basketball!

Matthew has really gotten into shooting hoops lately. We have our basketball hoop in the backyard down to its lowest setting, and we have a smaller basketball that Matthew has been using to shoot hoops with. He absolutely loves to play PIG & HORSE.

Sandbox Fun

Once it got warm enough to play outside, Connor was anxious to start playing in his sandbox. The sand was quite wet, not to mention frozen in spots (it was, after all, only March 14th), but Connor had fun anyway. He absolutely loves the outdoors!

Silly Boys!

Matthew & Uncle Mark

Uncle Mark came along for the ride on the day that Dad helped with the railing. Matthew really looks up to his uncle, so he was thrilled to see him.

End of February Project

Before

After

For the boys' safety, Dad helped us build a railing with spindles to our stairs leading to the basement/family room. Between building & painting, it was a full weekend project. The bottom picture shows one side with primer & the other with brown paint. I assure you that both sides are now brown. :) And now these stairs are more safe for my boys.

Early Spring

My irises are a good couple of weeks ahead of schedule in the backyard. The flowers started opening on Saturday. I never thought I'd see a daffodil & an iris open at the same time...
