Farm Fun

We recently went to a local farm for a tour around their property. Dylan and Lindsey were able to feed the turkeys and ducks. They were even able to touch ducklings that were about two or three weeks old. Dylan especially loved being at the farm. I will never forget the moment he went exploring off by himself a little ways from the crowd people. He found a mud puddle that had five or so white ducks sitting in it. He ran over and startled them. They all flew up and Dylan realized if he continuedto run toward them they would try to fly away. The pure joy in his face as the wind blew his hair while he ran after those poor frightened ducks was truly priceless. Every time I think of that moment I chuckle at how happy he was and how free he seemed to be.

After I got home and saw this picture I realized that he was really close to that turkey. And that turkey was really eying him.
The little ducklings.

Easter

We had a nice Easter Weekend. The twins enjoyed hunting for eggs at a local nursing home egg hunt on Saturday. Luckily some of their older friends were there to help them get some eggs. They were so excited about what was going on many of the eggs were gone before they could get one. On Sunday after the we returned home from church and twins had their afternoon nap the Easter bunny came and hid our Easter baskets.

Sweet Moments

When I see moments when Dylan and Lindsey show their sweet love for each other I can't help but smile. It's nice to know, that in fact they do love each other and in the end like having the other around. Thank goodness for these moments!

Finally Clear Weather!!!

We really have been taking advantage of every moment that the sun is out. The twins have found out how much they really enjoy being outside exploring, throwing rocks in the water and picking flowers. Love spring!! Crossing our fingers for more sunshine!

Crazy Life

Here are some silly pictures of my silly kids. It has been raining a lot lately so to occupy their time, the twins think of some entertaining ways to keep from getting bored.

I think Daddy needs to find this boy some cowboy boots.

Lindsey's So Happy

Spring Break: Silver Falls

Our last family day trip was at a place called Silver Falls. In total there are 10 falls that could be hiked to. We went to two of the falls that were short hikes from the road. It was remarkable. We were able to hike down to a fall and even behind it. Neither one of us has had the opportunity to do that before. It was a fun and enjoyable trip.

North Falls. The twins hike themselves about a half a mile to this fall. They had fun "exploring like Dora" in Lindsey's words.
This tiny waterfall fascinated the twins. They sat there for several minutes studying it.
The South Falls. This is the one we were able to hike behind. None of the pictures turned out very good behind it. The pictures does not do this waterfall justice.
For some reason this day every picture that was taken of me I made some weird smile. Unfortunately Lindsey was in everyone with me so I will post this because she looks so cute.

Spring Break: Newport

One day we to a trip over to Newport to see some of the indoor sights since it was pouring rain. We had so much fun at the Marina and Lighthouse there.

Spring Break: Park Fun

We had a great time during spring break! It was so nice to have Daddy all to ourselves. One of the fun activities that we did was to hang out at the park.

Dylan learning to balance.

Devin

Devin's time has been consumed with reading, exams and constant studying. The moments that he isn't busy doing that, his joy (besides his family) is flying his new helicopters. For Christmas he got a small house helicopter he loved it so much that he purchased a bigger one to use outside. It's been a fun family event. Dylan absolutely loves watching Daddy fly the helicopters.
