The weather in March and April was beyond gorgeous in Dallas, and we spent as much time outside as possible. (I'm really missing that weather now that we have officially reached consistent 90-degree temps.) Ahhhh, spring...
Plant shopping at Home Depot.
Ava loooooves lipstick. Also, this picture is a giant flash-forward to teenage Av.
Enjoying a beautiful day and a fun fiesta for Lillian's fourth birthday.
We joined the Leos family for a special night at the Dallas Zoo, and got to see this sweet elephant taking a bath.
We also got an up close and personal visit with Aruba and Jamaica, two of the Dallas Zoo's friendliest flamingos.
Fire truck + "di-saur" = a happy boy.
Ava's school friends are so adorable.
Just before Easter we completed a huge backyard project: filling in two areas in our backyard (where the grass doesn't grow) with crushed granite. Which meant we had 9,000 pounds of the stuff delivered to our house. Holy moly.
Josh, with the help of our buddy Roger, did such a great job of creating our new patio/game playing space in the side yard. I will share some true "after" pics once it is all put together.
Big boy haircut. Sigh.
Chalking + sharing.
Almost exactly a year from her hospital visit last year, Ava made another trip to the ER. This time for a serious case of bronchitis with lots of wheezing. Scary stuff, but thanks to the breathing treatments she was back to normal within a couple days.
Springtime swingin.
And bug findin.
Josh and Ava both love building castles.
Hers are only slightly different.
She also loves fixing mama's hair. So pretty.
After eight years in this house, I finally planted an herb garden in the spot that has been calling for it. Ava was a great little helper.
This girl was also quite excited to release 1,500 ladybugs in the yard. How could I say no when she saw them at the register?
When did this little guy get so big?
This is her "sweet smile," and I love it so.
Some serious baby shower planning complete with lots of wine and Lolly on FaceTime.
Popsicles on the patio weather. (Before the heat and mosquitos take over.)
And finally, a little front-yard wrestling.
