Visiting the Vadens

On Monday my girlfriend Rachel and I hung out in her back yard and let the girls run. It was a beautiful day and she has a great yard for taking pictures!

Thanks for having us over. It was fun as always!

Ups and Downs

Last week we had some nice Spring weather so we (mostly) enjoyed playing outside. We had a few snags in the day as you can see from the sad faces. Clarissa was actually upset at me because I wouldn't let her pour the sand from the sandbox in the grass. Silly baby!

Nursing her baby and having a grand time!

I can't remember why Lila was upset...
mean ol' mama took my sand away!

first sign of peas!
and garlic!

Raining cats & dogs

On Wednesday mid-day the sky opened up. That doesn't happen all too often here, so I had to take some pictures. The rain/hail was so loud it woke Clarissa from her nap!




Clarissa is really stinkin' cute, so I just had to throw these in here.

Timbra's Birthday party

My good friend Timbra had her birthday this weekend and had a little celebration earlier this week. I took the girls over for some food and good company.
