Debsweb: Spring in the South!

Spring was a little slow coming this year. Winter was just determined to stick around or to pop up for a randomly cold day here and there but it finally was pushed out and Spring came in all it's glory. What is spring without new chicks!

Don't you love that hair!?
This year has not been a normal chick year. To begin with sooooo many of them died while being shipped-so sad! Then we had 1 older chicken that kept picking on the little guys and ended up killing my cutest little ones. That girl has now been sent to Lena's with others her size.

After a long delay the azaleas finally decided to make an appearance! they were lovely this year and because of the cool spring they stayed around for a long time.

Memorial park was glorious and a great way to spend an afternoon exploring with cousins!

Found this guy fishing and had to check out his bucket of catches!

YiKes!! found this water moccasin right by the shore.

Spitting into the pond to get the fish and turtles to come up is obviously fun for all ages!

New life and new roads to explore. Can anything be more magical than seeing the world through the eyes of the young and young at heart?

One weekend we had the two youngest princesses for a night so had to visit memorial park AGAIN and it obviously wore one out. thanks for the lap Papa!

And birthday! Let's not forget the spring birthdays!!

Lena does a great job making cakes that are just right for each child. Robbie's was candy land made with lots of candies. the sugar boy was in heaven!

Hunter's cake all bugs and dirt!!

And FINALLY Easter came in all it's glory. It was awesome that it was the same weekend as General Conference. I am so amazed at how great all my kids are at incorporating the story of the Resurrection of the Savior and Holy week into their families. I don't remember doing this until our kids were more in their teens so super kudos to all of them! Of course the easter bunny did come to Nana's house and was very sneaky in his hiding.
