Dining al Fresco

We spent every moment possible outdoors this weekend, as y'all must have too.

It was THE BEST! With spring here, it's as if we're living a different life. I forgot what we were missing all winter. Being outdoors~there's just so much to do and not enough time to do it. We're lovin' it!

YAY for spring!

We are just loving this weather. Being outside is soooo nice!

EASTER

I wish I could say that we had the most wonderful Easter, but my babygirl Caragh was sick. She came down w/ a fever the morning before and was feeling pretty lousy come Easter morning. She awoke to her basket and joined in on the egg hunt, but just barely.

Then it was back to bed for Caragh and Daddy (who was also not feeling well).
The rest of us made it to Nana & Papa Rich's for the annual egg hunt, but we felt awful that Caragh and Jay were stuck at home in bed.
They were definately missed by all.
My *sweet* nephew Brendan gave up his own basket and made sure to hunt for as many eggs possible just for Caragh. Thank you Brendan, I am so proud of you~you're a great big cousin! She was so happy when we got home and showed her all her treats! ♥

They get you up & dancin'.

Strike A *SPRING* Pose!

It's been wonderful to get outside, when we can! One day it's beautiful, and the next rainy but that's spring I suppose.
My kids, like all kids, are happiest outdoors and it's so nice to sit and watch them play.
Oh, and make them pose for the camera too. ;)

This seems to be a pattern...

Hi, I'm Kelli and I'm a lame-blogger-a-holic.
It's certainly not due to lack of subject(s) to blog about, I just simply enjoy reading others' blogs. I end up blowing off my own for so long that to update it seems like an impossible feat (where do I start, it's been way too long, maybe I should just forget it all together, etc.).
The guilt eventually gets to me and I realize that if I'm keeping this as a diary for my kids, I must end this procrastination and get crack-a-lackin'.

Headed to RI for another cheering competition:
