2 Weeks & What a Difference!

This is our house and yard covered in snow 2 weeks ago…

This is our house and yard all pretty and blooming!

We have had several 80+ degree days here lately, and we are loving it!  I don’t know how hot the summer will end up if this warm of weather in March is any indication though!  We have spent the last few days outside almost all day.  We worked in the yard and planted “pretty purple flowers” as Cole continues to call them. 

Jordan is definitely going to be a little tomboy!  She LOVED playing in the dirt. 

Cole even perfected his worm catching skills!

We have also been to the zoo 2 days in a row!  Yesterday, Cole, Jordan, and I headed to the zoo with our good friends Emily, Jackson, and Andee.  Cole and Jackson were so excited and kept telling us “Get your cameras ready!”  We definitely got some cute Kodak moments from them!  I promise they didn’t just pose… they did look at the real animals too!

And our sweet girls at the start of the trip…

And at the end of the trip!  Haha.

Today we went with Amber, Grant, Christy, Joseph, Stephanie, and Carly.  We took up most of the path with our group today!  Once again, Cole had so much fun.  We took the wagon this time, and Jordan had a great time riding around in it and eating cheerios and animal crackers.

Of course we had to stop and play in the van for a while too.  Almost managed to catch all of the kids (minus Jordan) in a picture…  not the best picture ever, but hey. 

Then we hit up the playground.  Cole & JoJo were pretending to be gorillas crossing the bridge.

Cole was so sweet and wanted to push Jordan.  She was loving it!

Then he needed to swing too, and there was only one swing so…

Jordan continued to swing while Cole joined the other kids and watched the tiger down below.

Cole & Carly were big buds today for sure.  They were so cute walking around like this!

They even rode the carousel… Cole did much better this year than last, but was still pretty serious about it.  Check out that face while he was waving at me.

Very excited that spring is here!  Can’t wait for more pretty days and fun times outside.  My kiddos couldn’t love being outside any more, and this momma is very ok with that!  (Although I am considering buying stock in sunscreen. )
