Soakin up some SUN!!!

Today was oh sooooo WARM---YEAH!! I love the SUNSHINE!! Our house doesn't seem so SMALL on sunny days!! :) It is like we all of a sudden have a family room---right in the back yard!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Emily absolutely LOVES going outside---she thinks she is just as big as the rest of them!! She wanders around and LOVES every minute of it!! Kara and Brandon love to ride their bikes and of course play in the play house. Tyler went to spend the day with Grandpa--since he is leaving town tomorrow!! Grandma rode her bike here and Tyler and her rode back to her house----he was THRILLED!!

I got all of the winter coats, hats, gloves, and snowsuits boxed up---hopefully I am not jumping the gun!! Winter is OVER folks!!! I also had made some cookies today--I tripled the batch!! Yikes--it was quite the workout for my Bosch---but we did it!! I did a full cookie sheet of just dough for Troy and then cooked the rest for the kids!! We aim to please at our house!! Troy could live on cookie dough!! :)

...and to think this will only last about a week!! Ugh---makes my stomach hurt thinking about it!! Troy loves his cookies dough for his late night snack---well and anytime during the day too!! :)

Cooked & ready for the kids to devour!!!

Emily LOVES LOVES LOVES playing outside!!

Kara of course had to join the photo shoot! She is Emily's 'little mother' outside!!

Kara is stinkin cute, but can be soooo sassy!!!

Miss Emily, thinking she is HOT stuff!!

Kara LOVES her PINK bike!!!

Some of her ATTITUDE shining through!!

Anyone need a ride?!!?

Hard to tell, but I do not think Emily wants Kara to push her!!

Happily playing together!!

Kara likes to ride Emily's bike because she can go faster and keep up with the boys!!

Brandon and Kara usually play pretty good together while Tyler is gone---they each seem to take turns being boss!! :) Works out great!!

Brandon is a little pro on his bike without training wheels!! They love dodging all the boxes we have around outside for Ecolab!! Nice built in obstacle course!!

Brandon being a nice big brother, giving Emily a ride!!

Emily would have sat there ALL day!!

Cute Brooke just chilled inside!!

I LOVE her little smiles she gives me---it makes some of my long days--not so long!:)

That is so familiar with the cookie dough...Whenever I make cookies I double or triple the batch and then put dough on the sheet like you did and freeze it so that we can have cookies anytime without more than a ten minute bake.It just makes life easier when Rett has a sweet tooth at 10pm and I don't feel like doing anything!
