Fun in Hope

The kids & I went to my Parent's this week. We helped Dad in garden, went to Columbus Commons playground, went to my brother & sister-in-laws, went to Mamaw Beeker's, went to Hope Square playground & just hung out at Mom & Dad's. Poor Jessica came home with fat lip & several bruises/scraps on legs from playing so hard. But everyone had a great time. Below is a slideshow with lots of pics of some of the activities of the week. Enjoy!

Trip to Mamaw & Papaw's

We went to my parent's house this week. Here are pics of some of the things we did.

                                              We went to the park in Hope.

 

They worked in the garden with Papaw.

 They played with the cats

 They helped feed the cats & clean the litter boxes.

Jamie & Mamaw made brownies.

Yum! Carmel Swirl Brownies!

 Jess & David being goofy.

 Jessie was showing Sally how to draw with chalk.

David was giving Jessie a ride & wasn't too happy, but Jess was thrilled...

Until he dumped her! 

Then they tried to give the cat a ride.

 Then they gave Sally a Bath.

Sally looks all pretty & clean. She didn't stay that way too long. The next morning she got all muddy but I forgot to get a picture of her.

 David marching and playing with Sally!

They also loved riding their bikes & scooters.

We had a great time! I took over 300 pics but didn't want to swamp you with all of them! I might do another blog post later with some of the flower & animal pictures I took. Thanks for taking the time to check out what we've been doing!

More Spring Fun!

We went to my parents' house tonight. and the kids had a lot of fun! Jessica had so much fun driving Papaw's lawn tractor!

David decided he wanted a turn at driving the tractor too! I think Papaw is going to have help mowing this summer!

Jamie didn't drive the tractor but I did get a couple pictures of her outside.

On the left is one of Dad's Rhubarb plants. On the right is one of mom's plants. We think it's a pussy willow but we aren't certain.

Here are some of mom's flowers. I can't believe her tulips are blooming. already.

I love her daffodils too!

The hyacinths smelled so good!

More Daffodils!

  I also took some pictures of mom's cats. As you can see, Jessica loves them!

On the left is her big tom cat. He was napping. On the right is one of the momma cats.

 These 2 loved posing for me!

 The calico on the left & gray one one the right are 2 of my favorites.

The 2 below were hoping dad would feed them.

 I'll leave you with pics of the beautiful sunset God blessed us with tonight!
