A bit of updated history

Grandma Berta's old room. Awaiting baby now:)
Bathroom

Grandpa Marvin's room....such a change.

Kitchen where we used to share so many meals and laughs.

Living room area - new carpet and paint changed the entire look!

Payton, Kale, Grandma Rhonda and I made a short trip to Iowa to visit relatives. While we were there we had the opportunity to tour Grandpa and Grandma's house, now owned by a young couple expecting their first child. Of course, I asked permission to take the pictures so here's what we saw. For those of you who had pleasure of sharing even a moment in Marvin and Roberta's home, you know it didn't matter how it was decorated - there was always such a feeling of "home". Although the updates are wonderful and fit the new family residing within, the memories I have of the home will never change.

In a zone

Can you tell we need a spring break? :)

Exercise Queen

St. Patty's Day fun

Thanks to Pinterest, I found this fun scavenger hunt to print off and do here at the house for Payton (Kale had little interest in it). She LOVED hearing the clues and searching for the prizes:) After the scavenger hunt we attempted to attend daddy's first baseball game of the season, only to have Kale cry in anger every turn we made. He wanted his freedom to run around - who knew? :) We made it about an hour and then headed home. Kale rested while Payton played outside with her neighbor friends. It was beautiful yesterday -hope it keeps up for our spring break week this week!

Spring has sprung

Spring has arrived early and we couldn't be happier! Here's a few pics of Payton and Russ putting the training wheels on her bike. She gave it a test run only to prove that she needs to build some more muscle in her little legs :) We'll have her trained in no time! Good news is, no accidents from falling YET!

Tap, tap, this thing on???

Hello??? Just checking if anyone actually reads our blog.....leave a comment to let me know I'm not posting for myself to look at the pics and read my own posts!!! :)
