april showers....

i love rain.
did you know that about me?
it doesn't come that often around here, but when it does, i love it.
yesterday it started to rain, big sloppy drops just as we were making hot chocolate marshmallow milk with pink heart marshmallows floating.
we each grabbed a blanket and had a snuggle feast as we waited for daddy to ride home from a (very soggy) bike ride.

my little friends were so sweet to each other!
this is not always the case, so i had to get the camera...
the reed brothers have so many faces...
kisses for their big brother....
snugly blankets all in a pile....we started to forget we were waiting.

such sweet moments.
i have a very good life.



then, 





we got home tonight as a HAIL storm started.
i am telling you, i have never seen anything like it in my city.
it is unheard of!
Reedo was the most excited...
he ran out to the street with his arms spread wide
he collected  up ice and made a VERY cold snowball that i made him hold while i ran inside for my camera.
jake was the only kid awake since Ty and Ella were asleep from a late car ride, and he was so thrilled to be out in the street and freaking out with the grown ups...
what a treat!

  2. super cool hail storm! i love the rain too, but we have been blessed with alot this season so i am ready for sunshine. i love all the memories you are able to capture of your children together. my oldest doesn't come around very often so i don't get many photos of my boys together.

    I'm expecting bubba #3 in a couple of months so it's always nice to see and hear of siblings getting along well together :)
