Ok, so I haven't posted for a long time now. I am usually too busy looking at other blogs, and my computer time is used up before I can even get a chance to post. And, Netflix hasn't helped, I am totally caught up on the entire series of Bones.... something I am not proud of, but my OCD comes out in different ways. I wish it could come out in the cleaning/laundry/house keeping side of life, but I guess we can't pick and choose.
We have been busy here in Kentucky this year, so far.
For spring Break, I took the girls and the dog to Arkansas, to see my mom for a week. The girls had so much fun. I did too, the week went by very quickly. Here are some of the pictures of our adventures. Emmaline got a hold of the camera during the week and took a picture of EVERYTHING she could, not wanting to forget a single thing. I guess we need to do more adventures. So sifting through the pictures was a little tough. She took some really good pics, but i get to take credit for some of them
(....side note.....I worked last night, and am very tired, so ramblings happen...)
While we were there, we took a little trip to Big Springs, Missouri. It wasn't too far from my parents house. It is, I believe, the largest natural spring in the States. It was absolutely beautiful. the water was so clear and blue. unfortunately, you could not get into the water until the spring met with the river, and became cloudy and gross...
the girls and i at big springs. i will get more pics up of this beautiful spot later.....
this is emmaline and sadie. sadie is getting pretty old now, she is a really good dog, but getting grumpy. piper drove her crazy, she was too tired to herd the overly energetic 8mo old pup. and piper wouldn't stay still.
So, a week or so before we got to my parents house, they had this play house delivered. it was so cute. the girls had so much fun it it. we planted flowers around it, built the little walkway up to it, and the girls made an icecream shop, out of it. emma documented every inch of it, i believe, so will have to post all of her fun times next.
Sophie on the 4wheeler. what girl doesn't love a photo shoot?
Easter dresses. if anyone knows me, they know that the girls have to have Easter dresses, that match/coordinate. They were so hard to find this year. But, Mountain Home, Arkansas had them..yeah!! So beautiful!! Marin wasn't in the mood for pics, so we got a few off her smiling...silly girl.
aaahhhh. I love my girls. they are so beautiful. so happyy, so helpful, so wonderful!!
Girl #4. I happen to think she is beautiful, too. she had so much fun at my parents house. they have 100 acres, and she got to run for a week. We were afraid she would run off, and not come back, but she loves us, so she always came back when called. she was sad to leave.
One of the girls photo shoot pics. this is from the mail box, looking at the house.
Little miss Marin on the little bridge. she had a great time, too, and keeps asking to go back to grandmas house. its a 9 hour drive, if you don't stop, and traffic is good going through St louis. Coming home, traffic was horrible due to construction, so it too almost 11 hours.
action shot of piper. that girl can run!!
hopefully i can get more pics up, even if it is just for me.....
Miss Marin looking over the bridge
Miss Emmaline
Miss Sophie.
Looking up towards the spring from the bridge. see that big tree on the bank on the left?? totally cool tree, and huge!
Marin and Piper got in a little bit. I figured they could not throw them in jail...if they tried they would probably give them back pretty fast.
the really cool big tree, blue sky, beautiful day.
The waters coming out of the ground. aparentley it pumps out on average 465 cu ft/s of water. its coming out pretty fast! and is only 58 degrees. not warm, either.
more pics of the spring
the girls by the giant big tree. i wonder how old it is??
