Spring cut

Now that the weather is getting warmer we have been spending more time in the pool. griffin's hair has been getting in the way as he has been learning to swim. I figure now is as good a time as ever to have a fresh spring cut. He looks adorable...but oh my, the "bed head' this a.m. was too funny. When I brought he back from getting the cut Lee loved it but said " I am glad you did it instead of me"

We have a visitor

We have noticed that some sort of creature has been digging underneath our fence lately. Last week when Lee & Griffin were trimming back on ourpalms around the pool Griffin said "hey look..a cat" which turned out to be a racoon! he seems to visit every night & he swims in our pool! I think he may be eating the flowers off my newly planted marigolds! We need to call animal control asap, but in the meantime...Griffin & Josie have set a friendly trap for him made up of mulch, grass 7 carrots!

Sundaes on Sunday

Here is Sydney & Griffin 's afternoon snack! Griffin still is wearing his pajamas...ice cream in your pj's...now that is having a relaxing Sunday!

Fountain & Pool

Yesterday Griffin, Ella & Caroline (recovering from her T&A) headed to the fountains for some water fun. The water was cold, but that never stops the kids (well Ella may prefer the water temp a bit warmer). After than ran around for awhile, we walked over to the baby pool @ Lakeside for some more water time. Don't you just love how sun & water wipes kids out? Griffin went to bed at 5:30 last night!!!!

See how our garden grows

I had to stop in at Lowe's today & the flowers were so beautiful & colorful, I couldn't resist. I bought Griffin some gloves & a shovel & had planned our after lunch activity. I have to admit, I really do not enjoy gardening, never have...but I love the end result. I can't wait until they start to grow & fill in. Another sign, that spring is on its way!

Good old fashioned fun

Bring back the sprinklers! Our kids took a pass on swimming in our pool & going to Blizzard beach so that they could play in our "Octo Sprinkler"...what was regular summer time fun for us as children is rarely something our kids get to play with. They were screaming so loud you would have thought they were on space mountain!

Art Show

This is Josie's beautiful picture she created for the PTA Art Show fundraiser...of course she had a buyer (us!). Thank you Jo...for helping us decorste our home!

Spring Soccer

We missed this season's 1st game because we were in Naples, but we heard Jo's team played great & won the game! The 2nd week was also a great game & her team played against her former coaches (Chuck & Honey). Griffin had his own games going on (duck, duck goose 7 ring a round the rosey)- all I can say is we were so lucky that that Ella's brother was playing on the other team so Griff had a friend to play with. No pictures from this weeks game but our girl jo had an awesome goal right in to the corner!
