Spring has Sprung Picture Parade!
How about showing off you kiddos doing what they love to do in the Spring...whatever that may be.
Here's DD...Golf is her new passion and she is doing awesome. The pro who is teaching her and the other pro's at the country club are in awe of her ability. She is doing better than most 8 or 9 year olds and is driving the ball about 65 to 90 yards...using only the first two positions. (Yes mommy and daddy are very pround and bragging! Sorry!!) Then just her fooling around. DS and I went bike riding when DD was at golf a couple of weekends ago...and any of you oldtimer's may remember Vance...DS's cabbage patch with the same b-day as Alex...he's still around. SHARE!!!

Mr. Jurassic Park
DS loves to watch Jurrassic park... I know I know! He is a dinosaur maniac and totally loves the character Dr. Grant. He likes to wear my beach cowboy hat but its too big so he wears it adorably sideways. The flannel shirt is also something Dr. Grant wears out on the "Dig". My Mom sent him 4 flannel shirts and he calls them his Dr. Grant's and keeps them in his dress up box. Daddy and I think he is too darling but flannel in Florida????
Sadly the hat bit the dust shortly after the photo. Ds informed me that "his kid" ripped it and picked a hole in the top of the hat. I said "wow" thats too bad why would your kid do that. DS informed me that "his kid" knows better and that he is in time out but he is sorry. "his kid" has been in timeout for 4 days.. LOL!

i don't really have any outside pics to share, but we celebrated my son's spring birthday (#18!) last weekend and were able to get a pretty decent pic of all 7 of us around the kitchen table. getting a pic when everyone is actually looking at the camera is not an easy task!

More GREAT pictures! Keep 'em coming! I have to live vicariously through you gals for a few more months and then I can happily join in.
ddahl ~ SUCH a shame that the cowboy hat went bye-bye. That is the greatest picture...what a doll! Have a wonderful day, everyone! Jessi
