Bluebonnets/Grandpa Ernie and Emmy

My FAVORITE girl!! This dog is the best. We have been loving us some Miss Kona around here!! We went to the lake a few weekends ago and Kona had a blast in the pool. (See video below)
Mr. Ian also had a great time in the spa! It was his first time in, and he did great!! Way to go Ian!! I have a feeling you're going to be a swimming pro by the end of the summer.




As much as I love her, she does have a few quirks. For a reason unknown to me or the rest of the family she LOVES the sand box. We can't firgure out if she likes it because it's cool, or in the shade, or soft, or WHAT! BUT she LOVES it. EVERY time I open the lid and one of the kids gets in so does she. WEIRD.



Dad and Emmy came to see us last week/weekend, and we went out to Brenham to take BLUEBONNET pics. This time of year in Texas is my absolute FAVORITE!! We went to the little airport they have just north of the city. They had a hillside FULL of the bluebonnets and we set the kids up!


They did such a great job posing for pictures. Afterward, we ate lunch at the diner. YUM.



Dad and Emmy in their FIRST bluebonnet pic. Pretty special if you ask me!



After lunch we drove a little more north and visited the Antique Rose Emporium. It was SO neat. Marilyn, being an avid gardener, knew about this place and has been here once before. It was really fun.



Since everyone is planting right now for Spring, the place was hopping. They were also having a wedding there later that day. Beautiful scenery and wonderful company.



Across the street was a field FULL of bluebonnets. For my friends that don't live in Texas--and I'm sorry you don't--most highways look like this during the Spring. Just this beautiful shade of purple/blue like a dusting on the ground. SO neat.

On the way home the boys fell asleep. Reed was sleeping indian style. It looked so uncomfortable.




Jeff decided to bungee a hose to the trampoline and let the boys run around in the water while bouncing.



Really funny. See video below....




On a side note. It's Easter time. One of my favorite time of the year (for the candy). As if they had to mess with perfection, they have decided to make CHOCOLATE dipped PEEPS now!!! UM hello, why didn't anyone think of this before. I bet they are DELISH!!!
