Spring!

 Warmer weather finally arrived!  As soon as the temperature hit 70 degrees, it was romper season.

 Chase got an early birthday gift from Megan and Carl and the girls.

 Pretty sweet jersey of his favorite player!

 Every morning I let Allie ride with me to drop the kids off at school.  Once Millie came along, I tried to start letting her come too.  She thinks it's a very comfy ride.

 Allie is not amused that someone is in "her" seat.  The back seat is not where she thinks she belongs.

 Trying to work her way back up front.

 Buddies at home though.

 Taylor had her big performance in the 2nd grade Earth Day program.  All her favorite fans came.

 Where's Waldo?

 Dog walking.

 And dog resting!! That's the best part of having two dogs.  They wear each other out!

 Finally mastered how to share the window at school drop-off.

 A little softball action with Kathryn.

 It's not a good game without a trip to the concession stand.

 Friends.

 Chase got to fill in as a base coach for Taylor's team one day.  I'm sure he's giving her great advice and I'm certain she's listening.

 Taylor and I took the dogs on a road trip to Chick-fil-a!

 My view when I wake up most mornings.  Currently updating the blog at 6am because they got up extra early today!

 In bigger news, we're moving!! We found this house in the kids' same school district.  It has 10 acres and a small pond.  Dave said the house is ugly but the land is pretty enough to overcome it!

 The black roof is the house, white roof is a garage and then pond on the left.  We're set to close on it June 14th.  That's some unexpected excitement for the summer!

 Millie gave up on the front seat ride to school!

 I was watching Charlotte one day last week and had a meeting with the principal at school.  She made herself right at home!

 Spring festival fun at Bryce and Emmy's school.

 Most of this spring has been spent at the ball fields.  The games are more exciting these days and so I forget to take pictures! It's been fun!

These two rascals made a Sunday morning escape through the back fence.  Luckily, they didn't make it out of the neighborhood before they got caught and reported.  Nothing like a brisk neighborhood walk to pick up your runaway dogs to start the day!  We fixed the fence yesterday afternoon.  They still seem pretty proud of themselves!

Dogs

 Our home has gone to the dogs.  We got a new puppy as a friend for Allie and it was a risky decision.  It was either going to be awful or great.

 Turned out great!  They are the best of friends and keep each other company!

 Millie's first time in the crate did not turn out good.  That's not mud.  Ugh. After that got cleaned up. I decided that Millie had graduated out of the crate after just one use!

 First time out on a group walk/sit.  One sits and one doesn't stop moving.

 Millie checking out Chase's baseball practice.

 Buds.

 Still not going to give up her attention though.

 Doggie wrestling is the sport of choice all.the.time.

 Max came over to visit.  He wasn't impressed.

 He prefers they refer to him as "King Max" as he sits on his throne.

 Black dogs + sun = hot dog!  Had to create a little resting spot.

 Took a break from dogs to catch a big fish!

 Cuddle buddies.  Allie is not a cuddler but she is being forced to learn!

 Taylor will cuddle.

 And make faces.

 And more faces.

 Double trouble.

 Relaxin'

 Got ready to leave one morning and Allie's eye looked like this.  I thought it was the result of the dog-wrestling matches.

 Took her to the vet to find out it was dog-allergies. Sigh.

 Millie helping her feel better, I think.

Sweet pup.
