Backyard Fun

We have been LOVING this beautiful weather and have been spending alot of time outside lately. Two toddlers can mess up a clean house in a second and so any time spent outdoors means less cleaning inside! We spend most of our time in the sandbox, playhouse and swing set but I love that Gracie and Bailey are starting to enjoy the simple things in life. This week we talked about the flowers blooming and watched each day as they were ready to pop open. I always ask them "who made the flowers?" and they will reply with the sweetest little "God!" Bailey has just recently found a love for sticks...yes sticks and he picks them up and brings them to his Daddy and then watches in amazement while Daddy will break them in half. It is truly the sweetest thing to watch a little guy get so excited over something like breaking a stick. Bird watching is another one of our favorite hobbies and Gracie always will clap her hands to call a bird closer and she loves to point to them and wave. On the weekends we have been enjoying playing cornhole and having bar b ques. The twins love to play with the beanbags and they think the corn hole boards are slides built just for them. Dixie doesn't miss out on any of the fun and Gracie and Bailey love to bring her toys and they have both learned how to play fetch with her. Dixie is such a loving a sweet dog to put up them climbing all over her. I love plain simple family fun in our backyard as we are looking forward to Spring.

Sometimes we have to remind Gracie that Dixie is not a pony!
