Abbey Mowing the yard

After watching Brandon mow the yard, Abbey wanted to try it too. The only problem was that she wasn't heavy enough to keep the mower going. So, her dad had to walk behind her. Kent did eventually get the yard mowed!!!

Brandon Mowing the Yard!

The girls wanted Brandon to come home with us after church. So, he did. We went out to eat in Bethany first and then we all came home and worked in our yard. Brandon wanted to ride the riding lawn mower and somehow Kent was convinced that Brandon had done it before (with the blades on). He just did a few strips. So, I snapped a few pictures while he was riding the mower. They had a fun day.

May Day Baskets

The girls and I made May Day baskets on Friday after school. They had lots of candy left from Easter that I wanted to get rid of. So, we just put all of that into all of their baskets that they made. Here they are posing with their baskets.

They also picked lilacs and other flowers from the yard to put in their baskets. They had fun making their baskets and taking them to everyone!

Our First Promenade

The girls and I went to the Promenade at the High School tonight. We were one of the last people there so we had to sit on the last row. They had fun looking at all the pretty dresses!

Spring Bouquet!!

Abbey,Gracie, and Lily went in the yard this morning to pick me some spring flowers for a bouquet. With their dad's help, they managed to create a really beautiful bouquet! They found tulips, dandelions, and lilacs. Here they are posing with their bouquet.

The Ballet Performance

The girls did a ballet performance for Shawna and I this evening. It was very good and highly entertaining. I would probably have to call in ballet/modern/free style dance but it was really great to watch.

Easter Egg Hunt at the Porters

The girls had an Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Twila and Grandpa Allan's house on Sunday after Church. They had fun with all of their cousins. Here is Lily, Abbey, Gracie, Cash, Kamdyn, and Jackson. Cousin Danny and Cousin Kelly played outside with all the kids most of the afternoon hiding and re-hiding the eggs for the kids. They had a great time.
