Could it be, is it really…

…real spring weather? Or at least it feels like it, finally warn spring weather. Other signs include, Emma's '09 spring pics, look at her she is getting so BIG, and can you believe she will be 5 in a few weeks…YIKES! Isn't she just adorable? Well you know we are proud and think she is just that and so much more, with her funny personality, she keeps us rolling and always seems to crack us up, right when we need it. There is no doubt in our mind that God gave her to us, to remind us that He has a humorous side. Well in addition to her pics, another sign of real spring weather is we finally are able to jump in the pool. We opened it up and got it ready when we got home from Myrtle Beach, however it has been too chilly to jump in. This past Sunday was the first time everyone really gave it a try, lil Raymond & Heather were ready to hop in, until the touched the water, and they said never mind. Not Emma, as soon as she heard someone was even thinking about jumping in, the swim suit was on and she was in! Robert & Brandon even gave it a go before the night was over. But it was until today, that I finally jumped in! This past week we have been doing yard work, we started in the front and well after raking a TON of pine straw, and picking up a million and one pine cones (with 4 large pines in the front, it kind of happens), it was time to move to the back. So today, I came home from work and started cutting the back yard, well it didn't take long and Emma was in the pool. It also didn't take much for her to convince me to stop working and join her. What can I say, it's hard to tell my 3 ½ foot, curly top, brown eyed girl "NO", so only after being half way done, I was ready to hop in and did. It was nice, relaxing & refreshing. I think I will complete the other half tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll be back in before the day is over!

How could you say NO to this...she has us ALL right where she wants us
