Phoenix has always had a love affair with walking around with blankets on her head.
Getting creative with paint brushes.
Taking turns keeping daddy from packing for yet another trip.
Sweet.
First time with pig tails.
Fisher said he wanted to have a sleep over with his cousins Wyatt, Cash, and Bo and eat popcorn and watch kid shows. So that's what we did.
Sibling love.
Decorating D's birthday cake.
Happy birthday daddio.
Enjoying the back yard. Since winter was spring-like and spring has been summer-like it's been easy to do.
In need of some daddy time.
We've been eating almost every meal al fresco, as requested by Fisher.
He pretty much only wears his rain boots these days.
Excited to sleep with his magic walking stick.
Celebrating grandma B's 60th. Thanks, Fisher for keeping your sister in line.
The kids and I tagged along with aunt Carrie and her kids to the Omaha zoo. Fisher said his favorite part of the day was holding Cooper's hand.
Walking with the big kids.
With a little help from D.
Our dear old neighbors from Green Bay stopped by one evening while passing through town.
The house being swallowed by bushes.
Watching us work on ripping the bushes out.
Papa came up with his truck so we could yank them out with his hitch. Pretty slick, though there were a few that wouldn't budge which D had to chop down.
After. Now we just have to do everything.
I keep catching Phoenix playing with her brother's hair.
Mud pies.
Popsicles on the porch.
Me and D's sisters at Honey Creek to celebrate grandma's birthday.
Fisher lead the team in collecting sticks for the fire.
The next morning, Phoenix made her very own breakfast: a bag of chips.
I found them like this in Fisher's room one morning.
And a bit later caught them enjoying a snack together like this. Weird.
Phoenix was not a fan of the sprinkler.
But this kid couldn't get enough.
She sasquatched herself on out of there.
Fisher running to the river with his bag and gloves so he could pick up garbage. All his idea.
This is what Phoenix did.
The rain boots were real handy.
Explaining why it was important to pick up garbage: "for the environment and the animals."
Got one.
I showed him how he could fish out plastic bags using a stick.
Baby legs.
Enjoying the walk home after de-littering the trail and river.
Just before nap.
One of her new favorite words: swing! I swear I have already spent a good 12 hours pushing them in swings this spring.
