Beautiful February Weather

We have been enjoying unseasonably warm and beautiful weather this week. Fresh air is good for the soul! :) These first three pictures were three of my favorite from the day. Here's my beautiful little tree climbing, tree hugger, daughter. :)Jackson was being as precious as he could be busily exploring the moss and anything he could locate to pick up and check out. I told Kennedy I had gotten a really cute picture of Reagan and Jackson and I needed one of her. She very matter of factly told me "You have lots of cute and sweet Elly Melly pictures. You don't need anymore. You have enough sweet Elly Melly pictures." lol :) I couldn't argue with the fact that I do have a few pictures of her but I can always use another one! Thankfully she decided to oblige me. Telling that reminds me of another story I forgot to share in my MLK weekend post. Kennedy was basically climbing over the back of a chair to get into it for supper. Grand-dad looked at her and said "Kennedy, if you ask me, you're doing that the hardest way possible." Without missing a beat Kennedy seriously replied "I didn't ask you" and proceeded to climb into the seat her own unique way. Grand-dad and I laughed until we couldn't laugh anymore. Grand-dad said it was so funny because it was about the last thing in the world he expected her to say. What a cute little comic we have on our hands! :)When Grammy wanted to purchase this trampoline for us I didn't think it was necessary. Especially since she had previously purchased a small indoor version for us. I figured it would be something the kids would be interested in for a period of time and then lose interest. I couldn't have been more wrong! We've had it nearly 2 years now and all three of them jump on it any opportunity they can. It is the first thing they head to anytime we go outside. Thank you Grammy and Grand-dad!Pippi Longstocking and her neighbor Tommy having a coffee party (Anika wasn't interested in having any coffee)Jackson enjoying the privelages of being a big boy and swinging on the glider I thought it was hilarious when the girls decided to swing in the baby swingswhile Jackson was determined to swing in the big kids swing. lol :) My children are firm believers in the grass always being greener on the other side of the fence. lol :)
Jackson decided he's a big enough boy to climb trees today too. I thought Tim would flip out that I let him do this and took pictures to boot but he calmly told me he's helped Jackson climb trees before. Tim clearly has a double standard for our children because he's a Nervous Nelly anytime either of the girls begin scaling a tree, even now! Jackson was so proud of himself! What a smile! :)Yep, another little tree hugger :)I'm not sure what he was doing here he just kept working his feet up until he was fairly perpendicular in position and somewhat stuck. lol :)Haydn decided to give Kennedy some good loving :)How sweet is this of Kennedy helping Jackson walk back to the house for lunch? Melts my heart! ;) Reagan was also being a big helper at this point and had run back to the swingset to pick up my coffee mug. The weather here has been gorgeous which makes it so easy and nice to play outside. I hate to sound ungrateful, but we do all so wish it would snow! We love snow and we desperately want some to play and sled in at least once this winter!!!
