Cherry Festival

Well we went to the Cherry Festival in Emmett and because of the weather there weren't really any cherries yet but we had fun anyway. We had fry bread for the first time since living in AZ over 6 years ago and the kids enjoyed the petting zoo. I also got a henna tattoo which I have wanted for years. Fun Fun Fun!

Swimming is fun

The next day we went back to the pool in swim suits and had a blast. I really love the pool here. It has a beach entrance so the kids can just walk in.

Park and Pool

We went to the park and the kids love the slides. We didn't intend on going to the pool but it is right next to the park and so we were just going to put our feet in. Jude made some cute footprints on the sidewalk. I had to capture the memory.

My Peony Garden

I didn't even know what a Peony looked like really and then when we moved here there was one plant in front that got one flower and I thought it was so pretty. Daren ended up buying 3 more and this year we had 10-15 flowers. I just love them and I love spring. This post is was late but better than never. I had cut some and brought them in and put them next to the most recent picture of Jude and Lily.

Bed Head

I think the longer hair makes it so much worse.

Jude the Dude

Here is Jude on the swing at our Uncle Lloyd's house. He had a great playground for the kids in his backyard but unfortunately the kids weren't really feeling up to it. Jude threw up the whole day before we left and then Lily threw up the whole car ride there and then Aspen threw up the whole second night we were there. I got sick the last day and was sick for the week after we got home. It was fun to see family and we were sorry we could not go to the farewell we came for. A special thanks to Uncle Lloyd for letting us stay with him. Thanks to Mom and Dad for helping with the kids. Unfortunately under the circumstances this is the only good picture I got for the whole weekend. What a missed opportunity to get picutes with family. Next time I guess.

Aspen's Manicure

This is one of the few times Aspen let me paint her nails. This is also one of the only times I could grow them out. She is pretty lethal with those things. No fair she has nicer nails than me.
