instafriday...

Hey everyone!  It's finally Friday!  Woohoo!  Here is our last week in Instagram pics...

I'm sorry, but this is totally against the rules!photo fe96b683-5922-4446-97d2-e306711dd0e6_zps9318b82f.jpg

Early last week Ashlyn asked me if she could use the watercolors and paint something.  After a while she came running in and said "Mom!  Look at my beautiful creation!"  Indeed...

Ummmmm....dude, you've got a little something right there...photo 6f2c7ada-dacb-435e-b7b3-fd3a3524f25a_zps8bd863b8.jpg
Last week Landon got the puzzles out and he and Ashlyn put together this map of the United States...

...and then Basil thought it was a good place to sit.  Nothing like sitting on top of the world!photo a44d4fea-6423-4e1e-a30c-fe3407e9fe91_zps55328158.jpg

We had really warm weather on Saturday.  Chris decided to take advantage of the nice day by taking Landon to the driving range...

It was also a perfect kind of day for a walk with my girl.

Have I mentioned lately that my husband is AWESOME?!  He grilled my favorite rosemary chicken and asparagus for dinner.  Seriously, he is amazing.

On April 30th we remembered Craig.  I can't believe it's been a whole year since he went home to be with the Lord but I thank God for all of the great memories we have of him.

Ashlyn won a goldfish at the school carnival.  She named him Jetski Squirt Swimington...photo 2b50d758-7cfd-4e09-b19a-5c280898bc81_zps0e1ea1f7.jpg

...and then five days later the inevitable happened.  Thanks a lot, school carnival.  Ashlyn took it really well.  At first she wanted to bury him/her (?) in the backyard.  Thankfully, we were able to veto that idea...for some reason I don't think she would have taken it as well if Basil dug up her fish and ate it.

This is what killing time at the optometrist looks like. Landon said, "look mom, I'm an old man!"photo 00429d48-87d1-4f4d-869b-02c3420c0f14_zps6d849c7b.jpg

Speaking of the optometrist, dilated eyes means having to wear your brother's sunglasses.  It also means a Baskin Robbins break while you are waiting for the drops to take affect!

I love this boy.  So sweet.

Until then, happy Friday, Friends!
