Cherry Blossom Time...again

It was time to hit the cherry blossoms at the capitol mall again so this year we went with our friends(and neighbor) Angela and her precious son Bennett...(you can check them out here at Little Bird if you want to see more of B's adorable face) because we didn't want to wait until after MG got off work and risk loosing our only chance at sunshine...
It is 90% chance of rain for the rest of spring practically.

They really are so lovely.

Super Hank flying through the blossoms.

Sweet big baby growing way too fast...

Brothers 

My two littles with cute(and very edible) Bennett.

And here is another sweet boy who just wont stop growing
despite my constant recommendations that he do so 

So big and still so little...
I really adore him.

Our state Capital...
where MG works
and where the Cherry blossoms abound.

Say fair well because we may not
have sun again for weeks.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch with a few of our friends the other day. It was a really nice warm day and we had fun running around looking for the perfect pumpkins.


We just got this new hat for Owen...it matches one that his Papa has and he really loves wearing it.

We found some really good pumpkins that were just Owens size.


A great shot of the whole crew! Such amazing kids...and super cute!!!


A couple more of Owen in the hat... seriously can't get enough of that face!!

Owen your smile is like sunshine to me!!

A Day with Friends.

This weekend M.G was at the mens version of the "cru retreat" I went to last weekend. SO Owen and I were flyin solo. Last night a couple of nice ladies came over for dinner and stayed till Owen went down for bed. That's always the hardest time for me to be alone. I was really grateful they were able to stick around.



When M.G is gone its always hard to get up the motivation to do anything fun on my own, so this time a friend and I planned a park play-date in advance. Such a relief to have some fun outside time planned to break up the day.


We went to the park and ate a picnic lunch with Miss Lisa, Maddie, Nathan, Melanie, and Tiny Judah.


Maddie and Nathan got on top of the crooked house thing and stayed up there for a long time watching and filming squirrels.

We let the kids play for 2.5 hours It was perfect weather for the park. Then we took the kiddos for ice cream. It was the perfect way to spend a Saturday with out the Papa.



Papa will be home late tonight... in time to let me sleep in a little on Mothers Day! Yay!

Owen has been asking after Papas where-a-bouts all day. This boy misses the big man a lot!
