Warmer weather has arrived...

So it has finally started to warm up around here and we are taking full advantage of it.  All three kids love to be outside, and after being stuck inside for the whole not-that-brutal-but-really-long-lasting winter, it is so refreshing to have something new to do.  They love riding bikes, swinging on the neighbors swing set, sliding, and playing in the sandbox.  It's been warm enough to play with water on a few days and they could play forever with their water table in the sandbox, or jumping on the tramp with the sprinkler going.  We even had a "car wash" one day where I brought a bucket of soapy water, some sponges, and the hose in the backyard and we washed all the carseats, Jack's high chair, the stroller, and all their bikes.  

That's how she rolls.







Mady's soccer has started back up and we have been spending our Saturday mornings cheering on the Purple Dragons.





Lagoon is now open on the weekends and we have taken full advantage.  We've got our season passes and have our new Sunday routine...church at 11:00 (Sophie's now old enough for Sunday School-the girls love it!) and then straight to Lagoon (skipping naps - oh my!).  We only stay for a couple hours at a time, which is why having the season passes is so nice.  So far our no-nap Sunday schedule has worked great, the kids are worn out and go to bed extra early at night!
Jack was totally freaked out by the rides at first, but by the end of the first day he was hooked.  Mady did such a great job taking care of him and letting him ride with her when they could. 
Bulgy the Whale is a family favorite.



No matter how many times they ride I'm always this excited watching them:)


Train ride!




He wouldn't get on this ride but loved watching his big sistas!

Uhh...I take what I can get as far as family pictures go.



And my recent instagram pics, just because I like them:)
