Spring is Here!

 Spring is here!!
The weather has been absolutely beautiful here lately
signaling the onset of my favorite time of the year:
SPRING & SUMMER!!
Carter helped me change our message on the chalkboard to reflect the change of seasons.
We have already logged countless hours on our patio.
In fact, this is where we lived all weekend long.
Ryan and I spent a lot of time planting flowers.
I can't remember what these are, but I love them.
Anyone know?
My roses came back again this year!
This year we'll make sure to move these when Ryan uses the grill.
We didn't last year, and my sweet hubby burned all of them.
A little bee for the birdbath
Petunias
Begonias
I bought this wind chime at Hobby Lobby, got it home, unwrapped it,
and it makes absolutely NO sound.
Awesome.
Hibiscus
They always remind me of Hawaii.
Creme brulee petunias
No clue what these are.
Lemon zest petunias
You can't go wrong with petunias in the Texas heat
Annnnnnnnnd moving on.
These sweet boys had a blast hanging while "The Teenager" was away all weekend.
I love watching these brothers together.
Doesn't get any better.
There was not even one moment of arguing between the trio.
Heaven.
Silly Trysten.
The kid is going to be famous someday.
Seriously.
 Enjoying one of their favorites:
Steamed artichoke
 Even the dogs enjoyed the patio.
At one point, Shelby became consumed with some of the begonias waiting to be planted.
We soon discovered why.
This is Fred.
He's a lizard.
In her excitement, Shelby injured him.
The boys were determined to nurse him back to health and return him to nature.
Sweet boys.

Poor Fred.
Little did he know what his day would entail when he woke up Saturday morning.
The boys decided to carry him around the yard.
Poor Fred.
 Love this pic =)
Goodbye, Fred.
No, we cannot keep Fred, Preston.
I know y'all won't enjoy this video like I do,
but I love how curious they were about the tiny scaly creature.



Annnnnnnd done.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, friends!
Go outside, and enjoy the weather!

Your flowers always look awesome. Was wondering about all you Dallas girls with the crazy weather yesterday!
Steamed artichoke. Love them but Brad's isn't a fan. Says there's not taste.
What do you serve yours with?

The kids dip the artichoke in melted butter. It's good stuff!

Yay for patio weather!!! Now if the damn mosquitos would just stay away. I despise those creatures!

Your flowers look awesome - as always. I wish I had the motivation to keep my pots up. They usually last til about June and then die off because I forget to water them. Oops!

Fun times with the kiddos. I'm dreading the day that Hudson and JR bring me a lizard or a frog. I'm not a big fan of reptiles. :)
