Well, Friday marked the first day of spring. We are so happy that it is finally here. :-) Yesterday it was a beautiful 61 degrees and sunny. We took that opportunity to rake and clean out all the old leaves from last fall that blew against the house. I am sore this morning from all the raking....but it is all worth it! below is a slide show of some pictures I took. We made it a fun day...even though we were working :-)

Indiana
We went home to Indiana to see my niece get baptized. I am so glad that she made the decision to accept Jesus and live for Him. She is a very special girl (as are all my nieces) and I'm very proud of her. Also, since we brought Major with us, he was able to meet my mom's dogs; Payton (the yellow lab) and Gracey (the Shitzu). Gracey didn't really care for Major that much, but Payton liked him. :-) Major loved being outside with Payton because there was so much yard to run around in and explore!

UNO!
Last weekend we had the boys. One of their favorite games to play is UNO Attack. Of course we have our own house rules that make it even more fun, but I'll explain those later. I think that everyone ended up winning at least one round...so everyone was happy :-) Just in case you are ever at our house and want to play UNO with us, these are our house rules:
1. If someone lays a Draw 2 for you to draw and you have a draw two, you can lay down your draw 2 and the next person has to draw four...this can go on forever until the next person doesn't have a Draw 2 card.
2. Also, in regards to Draw 2, if you have a Skip or Reverse card that is the same color as the Draw 2, then you can pass the Draw 2 onto the next person (Skip) or revert it back to the play that laid the Draw 2 card (reverse).
3. If you have cards with the same number (regardless of color) you can lay them down all at once.
4. If you are caught trying to sneak a peak at your neighbors cards, then you have to draw 2 cards.
I think that is it...so there isn't too many additional rules...but you need to be aware of them if you plan on playing UNO with us! ha!
