Poppy.

Jeff's dad came into town and had some bonding time with the girls. Poppy drew for Bentley and she colored. They built towers with the blocks. Bent was very entertained by him, she wouldn't leave him alone for a second. She even sat and waited by the door while he took a shower. Thanks for the quick visit Poppy!

Why can't summer come and stay?

Well we thoroughly enjoyed the TWO whole days of 80 degree weather.
Luke came to play in our pool.

Bentley could not get enough of being outside.
The hose water was freezing but they didn't care.

Who needs a large luxury pool when you can have just as much fun in a 5 dollar blue plastic one?

Bent is actually smiling and looking at the camera for most of these.
I love her face!

Kell came by for some summer plastic pool time and loved it.
Didn't you Kell?

And then just like that the sun was gone and fifty freaking degree weather came back.

Easter. Just a little late.

I love LOVE this picture of my baby!
Isn't she a beauty?

Easter morning the girls found candy arrows pointing to the direction of their baskets. We could have just done that and they would have been happy.
I think Reese ate all of hers before Bent woke up.
My Bentley girl is of coarse being a stinker for the camera.

This was the best moment in her life I think.

My three lovies on Easter morning.

This is a four wheeler Bent got for her Birthday. They both have mastered driving it. Yes... Reese drives it.
Anyway I don't think Reese likes being behind the wheel with the fast and furious.
Can you tell?

The Easter hunt and dinner was at Mel's.

Reese figured out how to carry her bucket all by her self.

Sisters on Easter.
(Lori, Jo, Mel, Tam, and me)

a glimpse of summer.

Reese got to meet her new little cousin for the first time.
The two of us flew to L.A. to meet Patty's babe and bask in the sun!

Reese thought Hollin was fun to poke and was very interested in her...
just at first, then paid no attention the rest of the trip.

This is Hollin Willardsen.

She has beautiful little lips and is tiny tiny.
Everyone already can't get enough of her!
Patty is such a natural. She can't stand to be away from her for a second.

The rest of the trip was spent doing hair, shopping, relaxing and soaking up the fabulous weather in Nicole's backyard.

This is how we kept Reese out of the pool.

Kendall was just a fantastic cousin to Reese.
She babysat and entertained her the whole weekend.
Reese loved her!

This is Nicole using her talents, feeding Reese with her toes while I was doing her hair.

LOVING every second of the sun!

(Thank you Patty for the trip, thank you Nicole for your hospitality and thank you Sandy for all the free time to play!)
