Spring is Here!

The big news this month is that Yuri is home from Juneau! Rory and I are so happy to finally have him home...life is much better with him around.

The last month has consisted of us holding our breath in hopes that the winter weather is behind us for a while. There is not too much new going on other than celebrating a lot of birthday's: Betty Tangeman's birthday dinner at Lavelle's and then we continued the party at the Midnight Mine (ugh), Piper Burks' fun back yard 4th birthday party and Grandma Helen Atkinson's 95th birthday. Below are pictures of random happenings over the last month.

One of my favorite pictures of little Rory.

Betty's Birthday

Betty and I posing in the homemade party hats I made for her birthday get-together. Unfortunately, the party hats turned out looking a little too much like dunce caps.


Messy table manners.

Outdoor excitement
When the sun started to shine we couldn't resist hitting the playground even though it was still a bit chilly. This picture was taken about a month ago, thankfully it has warmed up enough so that the hat is no longer necessary.

Pictures of a tantrum

Not too often do you get to see the makings of a tantrum in still frame. Below are a series of 5 pictures taken very close to each other. It is amazing to see the difference between shot #1 and shot #5. Enjoy.

Fun time - enjoying the fresh air in the back yard. In good mood.

Getting pushed on the swing by her mother. Good mood.

Close up shot of Rory's happy little face. Good mood. Just after this I decide it is time to go inside because Rory is getting a little cold (see red nose below).

Rory showing her displeasure with my decision to cut outdoor playtime short. She threw a fit in the driveway for about 2 minutes until I picked her up and brought her inside...

...where she continued the fit she began outside.

Golfing

Warmer weather - playing golf with dad.

Working on her golf swing.
