Let's go fly a kite....

Claire flies the kite all by herself!

Claire was excited to fly her Barbie kite on this first nice and windy spring day in May. She was pretty tickled to be able to do it all by herself- with only a few crash landings!!

Signs of spring!

Some of my favorite sights and smells of spring: lilacs....

sandal clad toes in the grass...

sunglasses....

robin eggs in a nest built in the kids playhouse....

a gnome that mysteriously showed up in our landscaping....

Brett running the wheels off his four-wheeler in the green grass...

a "yellow flower that Daddy calls a weed" says Claire....

a "wish flower" again according to Claire....

Dan and I with our newly planted garden....can't wait for the yummy veggies...

brand new baby robins!

There are so many things to be thankful for this spring!
Thank God for the beauties and blessings this spring :)

7 years old!

Brett gets his birthday spanks from Papa Thompson!

A sweet new micro RC car from Gpa and Gma :)

Dancing to his new CD from Nan and Papa (Maroon 5) on his new stereo from Mom and Dad (i'm pretty sure there will never be another quiet moment in our home again!)

Birthday boy Brett opened his stereo before school on his bday!

Thanks Nan and Papa...itunes gift card!

Brett with his birthday cake (that Claire won on the radio for her bday!)

Blowing out his candle on his Saints bday cupcakes that he took to school!
