Queen Anne's Lace

I have been admiring all the Queen Anne's Lace growing in the fields and ditches this summer.  I had been wanting to take pictures of this one field in particular.  So, one evening I was going in to town with Ella and grabbed my camera so we could stop and get some pictures.  When we got to the place I had been wanting to go for weeks I found they had just mowed it all down.  There was still some of it left, but we had to troop through the sharp, cut grass to get to where they were.  Then we took the pictures and then we did a tick check because that's what you have to do here in good old West Virginia! :)  Anyways, I was happy I got some pictures of them before they're all gone.

 So, I do realize these flowers aren't Queen Anne's Lace, but Ella liked them too!

My sweet kiddos on July 4th.  These two pictures were taken basically right after each other and I find it funny that you can see the girlie on the far right dancing around.  That is so her!  She doesn't stay still for very long.

This is just a sweet moment from last weekend.  Happy Friday!!

March Snow

Our week started off exciting with getting about eight inches of snow.  I think all of us are very ready for spring, but the snow was beautiful and it has all melted now.  I really didn't feel like putting the kiddos in all their snow gear and going out there, but once we got out there we were happy we did it.  I have come to appreciate the changing of seasons so much more since living here!

 I had to include this picture!  When we came back inside these two snuggled up on the couch and big sister was attempting to "serenade" her brother. :)

We have had a lot of rain and cloudy weather this week.  I have been wanting to do something creative all week.  This afternoon I made a flower crown for the girls and they happily obliged wearing it so I could use some ideas that have been rolling around in my head.  I wish all these were my own original creative ideas, but it was still a lot of fun for me and the girls loved it too.  The youngest seriously just dances around and does her own thing.  The middle one was talking in half the pictures I took of her.  And the oldest will just do whatever I ask her to do, plus she always has some of her own ideas.

This cooler weather the last couple days has been absolutely beautiful and also a little saddening if I think about the fact that summer will be over soon!  It is inspiring me to spend as much time as possible outside enjoying the nice sunshine.   

 

Summertime

My baby is turning one next month!  The year has gone by too quickly for me, but we are all loving watching him grow and try his best to keep up with his siblings.  He gets so much love and attention from all of them.  

This boy can eat watermelon like you wouldn't believe.  He will keep munching and munching on a piece and after a few minutes the whole thing will have disappeared, minus the rind, which he has actually tried to eat as well.

Enjoy summer and enjoy some watermelon!

I love watching my boys together.  They both love being with each other and it's so precious!

Spring is here and our cherry blossom tree has bloomed!  I am so happy for the change of season and for the reminder of God's love through every season of life.
