It's SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you can see from the pictures below - spring has arrived... now it was only February 7th when this occurred but the temps reached a whopping 40 degrees! Enjoy!


Dan with his axe...most of the wood in this picture was donated to us this year during our time of need - and there is WAY more of it that you can not see! Dan is enjoying a little exercise here in his shorts and sleeveless T-shirt - gotta enjoy the warm weather when you can!

Here are the four youngest in their shorts and T's - and one even donned a bathing suit for the occasion - a little soccer fun to practice up for the summer season. It will be here before we know it!

Courtney got in on the action too - mostly she was the photographer but hey, soccer and playtime in weather like this is for everyone! She wasn't going to be left out!

The live action on the frozen field...this snowball in the yard, just by Andrew's shoe was the very first snowman built this winter - back in November or December. While maybe not recorded here, December went on record as one of the snowiest ever in GB history. January was just plain COLD - making this spring warm up very welcome indeed!

More action - Bethany would have joined us but she was away from home during this fine event.

It's the twins against Dad - although everyone has their own soccer ball so it's no one against no one? Just drill practice I guess (Mom was off running errands when this took place).

Our drama queen and model - you should see the other 25 pictures of her! She even laid out a towel on the back deck and sunbathed :) Notice - she is growing out her bangs - we are in the awkward stage for now.

Well, that's the weather news from Green Bay - anyone who wants to join in the fun is welcome to come visit....

These are great!! Only in Wisconsin will you see snow and swimsuits in the same picture! I should link to this to show my Arizona family. They'd get a big kick out of it. Would you mind?

Y'all are NUTS!!! 40 degrees is NOT spring!!! Short and tshirts! Are you crazy?!!!!

Now, our weather is about 65 degrees, rainy today, THAT is spring, although that would probably be summer for you!!!

Shelly's family must have gotten a good laugh out of these pics.
Long ago Steve and I went skiing in Colorado and there was people skiing in swimsuites. NO, it wasnt me but I took my jacket off and I was still warm.
