I believe I was on a search for spring when the whole pizza questionaire interupted..

Aiken, South Carolina is the town where my parents and brother have found to settle into. It is a beautiful, old town with a variety of shops. So since it was "spring" we went window shopping. The crew of shoppers. Don't be amazed we only went inside a pet store and ice cream soda shop but check out the beautiful flowers in the back ground. Perfect spring treat! Hey, we found some flowers at the library. Yes! I have found SPRING and the colors are beautiful.

I need some help...

Tonight we all made our own personal pizzas. Would you let me know which pizza looks the best? I wish you could judge them on flavor but we will have to settle for appearance only. As we were making them the bragging became over the top as to who's pizza was going to be the best so I need your help dear readers in settling this tough decision.

Our trip to S.C. continued and my search for spring

Mother and Daddy bought a double wide to be moved to the property they have been clearing. We dropped by to take a look since it hasn't been able to be moved just yet. It is really nice and roomy.

Can't wait to see it out on the property

Then we headed out to take a look at all the hard work Mother, Daddy and Phil have been doing to clear the land. Cameron is sitting on the root of a big pine tree that Phil managed to dig up.

Hanging out in the clearing

Only Mother and Daddy would think to rig up a necessary seat. Pretty nifty.

Cameron and Ashley checking out the gully on the neighbors property.

I have more to show you but it will have to be continued for now.

We found very little spring but lots of family time..

We headed to David's parents as the first stop on our search for spring. We had a relaxing time. The weather was pretty on Monday so we thawed out a bit. I didn't get pictures but my mother -in-law had their house all decorated for spring. Bunnies and eggs everywhere. Ashley made several meals out of the chocolate eggs which made her bounce around like a bunny. It was nice to attend church with family and to see some of my friends there. When we left we didn't realize that we would be back later in the week. I'll tell you about that later. Thank you Mom and Dad for a wonderful time at your place.

Spring break 2009

We are leaving town in search of spring

We know it's coming because there are signs but we would really like to see some more evidence.

Pretty soon this bush will need trimmed from all the new growth.

This Japanese maple will have beautiful, deep red, lacy leaves but not yet.

This bush gives me hope but it isn't even mine. It belongs to my neighbor. I think I have pictures of the kids in front of it almost every year.

These pictures were taken a couple days ago and as you can see our spring is a little delayed from what I'm hearing are in other parts of the country. That is why we are heading south today! Shelley, don't hate me :-) I'll bring back some pics to verify whether or not we found spring.

Love birds

My parents aren't the only ones setting up house in a new place. Today I realized that we have a couple of doves making their home in the corner of the fence.

Birds eye view

Little rustic but hey they are still in the process of making it

Sarah Brooke's Spring concert

I spy Sarah Brooke, can you?

Last evening we went to Weston for the First grade Art show and Spring concert. She was very excited to show us her art. She loves doing anything creative and is always begging for more paper. Below is a tree made from a brown paper sack.

We found her bear all dressed up in wall paper clothes.

Our lives are richer because of Sarah Brooke.
