Spring is Slowly Springing

Our Spring has been slow to arrive this year and we've experienced quite the wishy-washy weather the past month! One weekend it's beautiful and warm and the next week it's been cold and rainy.  Noah's Spring Break was FREEZING and wet and we pretty much spent the week relaxing indoors.  Even Easter was a yucky, rainy day. 

The ONLY picture I was able to get of the boys dressed on Easter morning while at my Grandmother's house

One particularly beautiful weekend in March we were able to enjoy the sunshine and took the boys down to Cypress Creek, on my in-laws property right across from where we are building our house.  The boys LOVED it.  It made me that much more excited to get our house finished and move out there.  The kids had a great time throwing, as Collier calls them, 'wocks' into the water and exploring the property.  I can't wait until we are able to take them fishing, riding in a canoe or just playing in the water. 



We then, of course HAD to finish our afternoon off with yummy Fro-Yo from the local frozen yogurt shop, where you can choose between tons of different toppings and sauces.  Such a treat!

Then this past weekend, much to our delight the beautiful warm weather returned! Since Jamie and dad were in Augusta for the Master's Tournament, Mom and I took the boys to Spring Park, along with the rest of the Shoals area.  I had been eager for my train-loving 2 year old to see the BIG train and get to ride on it.  To my surprise, he was scared of the train (along with the carousel, which I can't say I enjoy since I always get dizzy on any carousel). The first time around the track, he cried for a little bit and clung to my mom. By the second time around, his face lit up and he was happy as can be.  All of a sudden, he proclaimed, "A CHOO-CHOO!!" as though it was just dawning on him what we were riding on and that he actually liked it.  Who knows!? Noah on the other hand, loved EVERY. SECOND.  Noah and I even rode the roller coaster for the first time.  He smiled in the beginning and he seemed to enjoy it.  It was pretty rough and jarring though so I think I can speak for the both of us when I say I was ready for it to end a few minutes into the ride.  I was curious how he would do on this particular ride since we have a Disney trip planned for the fall... and I think it's safe to say that he'll love the rides.  Now Collier... well, I'm not so sure.  Let's just hope his feelings change by the time September rolls around!

 

 
 
 
 

I adore this last picture of Noah, with his eyes closed, laughing and enjoying the warm sun and the breeze as he's riding along on the train.  He looks so happy.
