Spring Break!

Our Spring Break this year was spent visiting both sets of Grandparents.  The first weekend we went to Texarkana.  We pretty much just relaxed and played.

Beautiful flower in one of mom's flowerbeds.  Couldn't resist taking its' picture.




This is the barn that my dad was working on--and the one that he ended up falling off the roof of a week ago today!  He shattered an ankle and will have to have surgery on it in a few more weeks.  I had the worst feeling about that roof.  I distinctly remember telling my dad to be careful that weekend we were there and he was talking about eventually having to do the roof.  Sure enough.  Bless.His.Heart. (and my moms!)


While he was working on the barn, he let Hannah and Lincoln have some nails and scrap wood to play with.  They spent I don't know how long in the barn hammering away.






About to go four-wheeler riding.  Layton LOVES the "fourwha".  He talks about it all the time.





The kids and I stayed in Texarkana till Wednesday.  We came home and left again Thursday afternoon to drive to KC to see Grandma and Grandad.  Grandad was doing SO much better.  He was walking around the house with a cane and has really improved since.  He has actually been able to get out into the field and walk around with his cane as well and is not even using the cane much in the house anymore.  We are so thankful!

Grandma set up a little indoor Easter egg hunt for the kids.  She was explaining what they were going to do.



It was really cold while we were there, but the kids wanted to get outside so we bundled them up and Kris took them all for a quick ride on the tractor.  Layton was begging to go!






Hannah and the kitty cat she loves so much!


Grandad's new dog, Clyde, was determined to get that cat!


This is a picture of Grandad's barn after the roof fell in due to heavy snow a few weeks prior.  Seriously, that was all they needed.  Ugh!


Happy boy!


Linc's turn to drive!



And finally Hannah's!


Saturday night it started snowing and snowed most of the night.  So, church was cancelled the next morning and so we decided to get out and play for a bit.



Lincoln and Hannah lasted about 5 minutes (for real) and they were done.  They don't like the cold.  Layton and I stayed out and made a snowman though!



We had great visits was both sets of grandparents.  Wish we got to see them all more often!
