Loving Spring Blossoms on the Aerts Farm.

Last night I headed out to the Aerts Farm, loaded onto the Bush Hog Utility Vehicle and went for a ride through the apple orchard.  My driver and tour guide John was very patient with me while of course I had to take too many pictures as usual!!  :)  Thanks John!! 

Apple Blossoms!  Looking forward to next week, hoping for a field of full blossomed trees!! 

Bring on the sunshine!

Peach Blossoms!!  My favorite ones as you will see!!  

Loving the sun peaking through!

These are just for fun!!  Bring on the Heartland!!

*Thanks so much to the Aerts family for letting me explore*

A Firefighters Prayer

When I'm called to duty God
wherever flames may rage
give me strength to save a life
whatever be its age
 Help me to embrace a little child
before it is too late
or save an older person from
the horror of that fate
 Enable me to be alert
to hear the weakest shout
and quickly and efficiently
to put the fire out
 I want to fill my calling and
to give the best in me
to guard my neighbor and
protect his property
 And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.

Its been too long!

Its been too long since I have gotten the chance to sit and unwind with a little Photoshop Elements therapy!  Lately my time has been consumed by my kids, house, wifely duties(lol) and the bathroom remodel project we are working on.

  I wish my house was surrounded by all these beautiful flowers, unfortunately the pine trees that surround my house do not treat my soil good.  I'm looking forward to heading out and walking the apple orchards soon, they are just about budding around here.  I can't wait to get some great pictures!  

Another beautiful night!

Another beautiful night!  I headed out to the Bass Lake outlet and enjoyed a fabulous sunset and beautiful weather.  

Beautiful Spring Day

I had the day off from work today so Kenna and I made the most of it. We headed out on the town to take a few pictures with my new Polarized Lens Filter! It was a little chilly, but we still made the most of it! It is so nice to see the green grass, blue waters and spring buds coming out to greet us for the new season. We can not wait for Beach Days!

During our day out we headed out to see Ray-Ray at work! Today was his birthday and we wanted to surprise him with some Choc. Cake and Cherry Coke!! MMMmmm Good! I was very happy to see that my niece Rowan was there too, she was waiting very patiently for a piece of cake!! Happy Birthday to my amazing husband! We love you Ray-Ray!

Chicago Trip! Family Fun!

Spring Break for my girls was last week. We headed to Chicago to visit my husband's side of the family and we had a great time while we were there. We visited the Brookfield Zoo, decorated eggs, made cookies and played volleyball!! We have decided to be sure that at least a few of our Spring Break days are spent there with our family.

I hope my mother in law doesn't want to get me for putting these pics on, but I just LOVE them. This is a moment never to be forgotten!! Thanks for being such a good sport Mom Hasil!
