So sweet.

Jake was playing outside by himself and came running in the house with these. "For you Mommy!" Unfortunately, most of these are from my neighbors yard! Oh well...it's the thought that counts. Maybe he could teach his dad how to bring a girl flowers?
** missed a few days of pics...Too sick to even think about it. But I'm starting to feel a lot better :) **

Picnic.

Stickers.

Church field trip to Mrs. Grossman's "Sticery Factory" (as Jake calls it!) in Petaluma. Fun place for young kids. Jake loved it. He was in the front of the group the entire time and I could tell he was listening to everything and was very interested. When we got home and he was talking to Pete he said: "Well, I kept raising my hand, but I didn't have any questions." We both just busted out laughing at him. He's just so funny.

Blah.....again. only worse.

Spent just about all day in bed or on the couch.

Pretend.

Blah.

really bad headache today...probably the precursor of what was to come...

Easter Sunday

Spent Easter at the ranch and had a big family BBQ. It was really fun...but if you think these kids look dirty you would be mistaken....they are completely FILTHY! Our bath water last night was like mud.

Sticks

Saturday at my mom's. I'm having a tough time getting either of my kids to look at the camera lately. You think they're sick of me putting the camera in their faces all the time??

Color.

Colored our Easter eggs today!

One more extra:

Holes.

Every. Single. Pair. Of. Pants.
I'm holding out for warm weather so we can wear shorts!

Brush and Floss.

Jake's first dental exam. No cavities!

She likes toast with Jam.

He likes Peanut Butter.

Silver Lining.

The sky has just been such a gorgeous shade of blue the past 2 days. So pretty. :)

Green.

For We Spy You Spy.
Definitely looking like Spring around here. Lots of green :)

MM good.

Oh, it's even better in person. I seem to be in love with all things Making Memories lately. I especially love the Blossoms and Buttons...WAY cute!
I know I'm behind in the photos. But I'm not going to stress over it. There were actually a day or two where I didn't even turn my camera on *gasp*! But I posted 4 pictures on Saturday...so certainly that makes up for it, right? I think so.

To-do's.

All kinds of to-do's on my list this week...trying to get everything together for Kindergarten!

Cars.

Both kids are totally into playing with cars right now. I find them all over. Jake loves setting them up and Megan loves steeling them from him.

a surprise.

A very short visit from a good friend. Chrissy and family were driving right through my town on their way back to Phoenix and stopped in Tracy for dinner. Loved seeing her and finally meeting Sean and the kids. I felt like I already knew them. It was a nice visit but WAY TOO short!

Favorites from today.

I just couldn't choose what to post. I got several great shots this afternoon on our patio. Changed my white balance on the camera to shade. It worked perfectly!
So glad I'll be able to hang on to the early evening light a little longer now...don't forget to turn your clocks ahead, it's daylight savings time!!
EDITED TO ADD: These pics are basically SOOC. All I did was sharpen them using the defog technique I mentioned a few weeks ago. The one on the bottom left was sharpened and then I use the burn tool around the edges. That's it!

Window washer.

Not the best shot..but I like it because this is his new favorite thing to do. Not a bad thing, eh?! If only he were a little taller....

Blossom.

Curly.

I love seeing her cute little curls and pig tails!

Glowing.

My Fruity post below was supposed to be for yesterday. I forgot to change the post date. wooops.
This one here is for today. I did some minor adjustments in PSE and then ran a "glow" action from Action Central. If I can find the exact one, I'll link you up :)

Fruity.

Just me.

Done.

Finished up during nap time. Really good book! Thanks Nicole!! :)
