Here comes the sun???

It's been one long winter trying to acclimate to our new Idaho surroundings, so we have wholeheartedly welcomed the sunny, warm weather - even though we are sure there's still a snow storm or two in the near future. Here's what we've been up to lately:

Those mischievous leprechauns paid us a little visit on St. Patty's Day. They left a few chocolate gold pieces, tiny green footprints and a festive urine sample in our toilet. Thanks little green men.

The little dude was wearing green, so he was pinch proof, but those cheeks were still begging to be squeezed.

This is what you do on your first warm day of the year: Lay like a dog by the glass doors and soak up the rays!

Shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops? Yes please!

Klive has finally discovered the back yard. He keeps trying to sneak out and set up camp in the princess playhouse.

He's definitely a boy on the go these days. I'm learning the hard way that toddler boys are crazy wild and have no fear. A big boy ball of energy and warm weather make for one tired momma!

Love these little punks.

Oh, and some big news, Kolby's the new junior chief resident starting in May! The current chief really encouraged him to run for the position - so his awesome wife made a sweet campaign for him. Can't hurt to win them over with swag. I made these cute pins that looked like lab coats . . .

Some candy-filled rubber gloves . . .

And some needle pens. Okay, I didn't make them, but I did put on the sticker. We are so proud of him and feel like we are finally getting the swing of things after a long, hard intern year.

We finally got around to the ritual spring cleaning of our clothes drawers and boxing up the hand-me-downs. Winn just couldn't part with these bad boys. Guess it's the Okie hillbilly in her.

And, last but not least, Papa moved home! We met him in Malad for a visit and enjoyed some kite flying, sidewalk chalking, and a friendly game of croquet. Klive has really latched on to Papa. They are definitely as tight as they were when we were Okies. Happy Spring everyone!
