Is it?...It might be...I think it is...SPRING!

Hooray for the sunshine! Hopefully spring is just around the corner, but the last few days it has felt like its already here. It has been so nice lately - we've actually been outside for more than just getting the mail. I'm not sure how long this beautiful weather will last, but we'll try to take advantage.
First off, Happy St. Patty's Day!! Ellie looks a little dazed and Tanner is giving his "say cheese" face, but we're green and mean. lol whatever!! Brad is taking the picture because he bummed out on us and didn't wear any green.

Yeah! We were able to get the stroller out and go for our first walk of the spring! Tanner kept saying, "Cheese!" and Ellie kept looking over at him. Notice he's not looking at the camera - he's got the "cheese" thing down, but looks everywhere but the camera while he's saying it. :)


Can't resist a close-up of my sweet Ellie Belle!


Tanner and I had fun today with our new kite. I went to get my camera from the house and told Tanner to stay still and not move, but he couldn't hold the string without walking at the same time, so we ended up getting the kite stuck on the roof of the house. No worries, we got it down and back in working order!


Of course it's a Lightning McQueen kite!


He was trying so hard!


Look at that grin, pure enjoyment!

BBall and Swimming

Last weekend we went to SLC for the 3A BBall tournament. Brad's team didn't do as well as they would've liked, but 6th in state isn't too shabby! The kids got to go swimming a couple of times and that was their favorite part of the trip, but what kid doesn't like that?! The kids were pretty good to watch so many games, but I had a lot of help from my family that came to support the Morgan Trojans! On Friday afternoon, Brennen and Aimee stayed and went swimming with the kids. Uncle BJ is always so much fun!! Their little girl Kaylee (4 1/2 months), also came swimming and enjoyed it much more than Ellie, that is until my kids splashed a little too much! Sorry Kaylee bug! After our last game on Saturday, my Mom, Dad, and sisters took my kids home with them and I got to stay and enjoy a few more games (3rd and 4th place, and Championship game) without taking anyone to the potty, digging in the bag for more fruit snacks, sharing my drink with anyone, or trying to get my baby to sleep while the fans were cheering and the pep band was playing. Thanks mucho familia!!! I took a bunch of pictures of the kids swimming, but neglected to take my camera to the games and didn't get any of Brad coaching. Oh well, there's always next year! What cutie pies!

Tanner LOVED swimming!

Sweet Linds

I love this pic of Brennen's face!

My little Ellie, not so much a fan of swimming!

Her funny face thing she's been doing lately

The Nintendo DS, a life saver for entertainment at the hotel and bball games!!!!
