fun times

We all ended up working outside in the yard a couple Saturdays ago so I shot a couple pictures of the kids. They were having fun helping.

Note: Kylee dressed herself that day (the shirt and shorts were both pink!)

We were blessed with visit from Dianna. We had a fabulous time. We did some shopping (of course), played with the kids, and had some lovely chats that sometimes lasted late into the night. Kylee calls Dianna her sister, so that caused some confusion with her teachers!! :-) It's wonderful that Kylee has someone like her to look up to. The visit went by way too fast. Anyway, I finally took some pictures on the last day she was here.

403rd Wing Family Day

About a week ago, the kids and I were able to go and spend Saturday with Josh during his drill weekend. They were having a family day for his wing. They kids had a great time and fell asleep early on the way home.

The highlight of the day was being able to walk through two C-130s. They are huge. Josh says that they aren't too quiet to fly in though.

A picture with me in it just to prove that I was there!

Getting a picture with Daddy in the cockpit

The rest of the day was spent at a "picnic". They had food, a fun jump, water slide, playing at the park, etc. We were able to meet up with some friends living in Biloxi that we know from Reno. We took the kids to the park and then to Chick-fil-A. It was nice to chat and spend some time with them.

Easter

Ok, so I didn't get these pictures up right after Easter. I had uploaded them to my blog, but hadn't written anything, so there they sat remaining unpublished and hidden from everyone to see. Oh well. Here they are anyway.

Got to love my daughter's silly smile.

A day at the park

Kylee has been off of school for spring break this week so we have been trying to do some extra fun things. Joshua was off of work today so we had planned to go on a picnic at the park and let her play for awhile. She was soooo excited. (Guess we need to do it more often than we do now.) As soon as she got up, she wanted to get the lunch packed and leave, but I had to convince her that we needed to wait till everyone else was ready and it was lunch time. We went to a nice big park in Lafayette. There were a lot of people there today. Guess it's because it was Good Friday today. It's real big around here. Most people have crawfish boils, but we just had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Fine with me though, seeing that I don't care for crawfish. :-)
Anyway, the weather was absolutely beautiful and we had a nice picnic in the sun (Kylee picked the spot). Thankfully, I remembered sunscreen. Kylee and Zane swung for quite awhile, went down the slide countless times, and walked around the park and pond looking a ducks, flowers, and the many dogs that were there with their owners. We stopped in for a treat at Sonic on the way home.

None of us were very hungry, so we just had nachos (with homemade guacamole on top) for dinner. I still think I ate too much though. Zane is now done with is bath, Kylee is in the shower, and then comes some relaxation that doesn't include going up and down the slide or pushing Kylee as high as she can go for an hour (I'm exaggerating!!).

Anyway, here are some pictures from our day today. Kylee took the one of Joshua and I. There was a lot more of the park in the picture so I had to crop some out, but I was rather impressed anyway.
