I cannot even begin to express how excited I was for the spring weather to start turning warm! Over the years, I have determined that I am most definitely not a fan of winter. Snow is something I LOVE, but only for taking pictures in and then I want to view it front the warmth of the indoors. There is also the fact that I enjoy watching my children’s joy in the snow, but that is about it!

Having spring arrive and the weather turn warming, the sun shining brighter, the trees and flowers starting to bloom, wearing short sleeves, it all brings be so much joy! Now I will have to admit, in the dead of summer, I will start to complain about the heat, but for now I am embracing ALL the warm sun on my face and watching my children laugh and play in the warmth of the outdoors!

This was one of our first warm days of the year, just before the start of spring!

Jakob experienced grass for the first time and LOVED it!

Addy was beside herself excited that Ana was coming home from school! I love their little friendship!

Ana was working on getting ready for the first day of Trout fishing with daddy and Addy was trying it all out!

The goal for the summer – teach Ana to ride without training wheels… that’s going to be a daddy task!

Playtime at Ephrata Township Park. We love it there because there is so much to do! An awesome playground, lots of open space, sports fields, sand volleyball court, walking trails, fishing and a hidden quarry lake!

Spending a fun afternoon in the sunshine on our driveway!

This jumper was the best $20 Facebook Marketplace purchase ever!

Analeigha had a playdate with one of her little besties at Amos Herr Park and Addy had a fabulous time running around with most of mamas attention!

The zipline at this playground is a BIG hit! So many amazing laughs!

And this one is definitely getting framed.

Putting on little shows for me!

And of course I had to do some portraits! Ana turned 6 and we had Easter!
