Overalls

Some sisters might be annoyed to find themselves twinning as they walk out the door.

These might be those sisters.

But I think they actually love it. They're cool like that. 

Hide and Seek

 I think I might be winning.

Lion Chaser

We have an Olympic Lifter in the house!

Everly has been lifting with Lion Chaser for several months now. She's getting stronger!

Homeschool Life

Homeschool has its upsides and it has its weird sides. 

 

Mr. Rogers, the math teacher, is Anna's fave. Especially that weird smile he does at the end of every lesson. 

We could do without Paget Monet.

"Sometimes you just need to go play basketball because it good to do. So just do it!"

Cool Finds

 I love find these around the house. 

Spring Break

 Spring Break this year was ALOT of petsitting. 

It seems word is out that we don't go anywhere. So we talk care of cats and dogs while everyone else takes their cruises and hit the beach. 

But I find comfort in knowing that we'll be able to retire someday. 

And we still have Pogo Pass tickets to use up!

We popped over to the zoo and pretended to be the other members of our family...Everly and I already used our tickets.  I was ready to defend my identity as Mark. And Everly could be an exceptionally short 15 year old. Who's to say? 

But nobody ever checks the names.  We were golden. Second zoo trip of the year, covered!

Stingray Bay was very cool. And wet. 

No trip to the zoo would be complete without a sweaty ham sandwich and a zoo map. 

We also spent an afternoon at Urban Air, which was way cooler than I thought it was gonna be. I was expecting big inflatables in a slightly creepy warehouse with dark corners. 

This was fun!

It's not a Caribbean cruise, but we had a good time! 

To be 15

 Laneybug is 15 years old!

That means alot of things. 

Maybe not so excited to wake up to peppy parents in the morning?

But definitely excited for the new clothes she scored on her birthday shopping trip. Target came through with the flowy pants!

She may or may not be loving the idea of having a tv dinner lunch on her birthday. It's hard to tell...that's a BIG part of being fifteen. Always keep em guessing.

Unless we're talking about Laney's true passion for chicken enchiladas and cheesecake. 

Mathew's out walking in the snow of Idaho and Ethan is fresh out of the shower. We're singing Happy Birthday! 

The world is lucky to have a 15 year old like Laney. 

Happy Birthday, BUG!!

Express yourself

 Oh, they do. 

Megan and the stars

Not many moms get this. I get works of art presented to me while I'm drying my hair!

 This is my favorite one she's ever done. 

Sensation of spikes

 If you know, you know.

Carrot

 Eating healthier is really awesome.

Sunset at Cedar

We needed to get out of the house. So we dragged the girls out to the car and went for "a drive". 

I hated that when I was a kid. And then I loved it. They might love it too. But it's not required.

We poked around in the sand and looked for ducks.

The sun slid into that perfect glow and I thought I could get a picture of my girls.

I'll take it. 

Let's go find some ducks.
