the challenge for next week is to get outside!! when you see those first daffodils, hear those birds heading back north, don those capris for the first time, how do you feel? do you have that familiar allergy tickle in the back of your throat? do you dig in the dirt? do you throw open the windows and let in the light? do you grab your feather dusters and sweep away the last of the winter dust? how about those cobwebs that have been lingering in your head?!?
how is spring teasing you this weekend?
It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain
Spring Has Sprung in Texas!
Living in the South, usually means we get to see Spring sooner than others. Being a person that freezes if it gets below 65 degrees, I definitely welcome warmer, sunnier weather. Since spring officially began last week, here in San Antonio we have been experiencing spring showers. Rain isn't my favorite type of weather(unless at night), but having everything green and blooming makes me smile.
Things that I give me Spring Fever!

~evening strolls
~daylight savings time
~soaking up the outdoors
Every year since Mackeni was born we have taken pictures in the bluebonnets. Some years we have traveled several hours to find the perfect field of these Texas pretties. Last year was one of the driest years we have had so there were no bluebonnets to be found around San Antonio, so we took off on a road trip towards Houston to find some. I just can't stand the thougth of not having a picture every year.
Spring makes me smile and I couldn't agree more with this quote I found...
Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

BeautifulPictures! I love the bluebonnets.
I know you think you are pasty, but you always look tanner than me! I was impressed at the attempts you made last year to get your blue bonnets on the way to Houston. You do what you gotta do right?
Love the quote :) Hurray for flip flops, capris, and warmer walking weather!
Hurray for flip flops, capris, and warmer walking weather! I so agree with you, YAHOO!!!!
Great pictures.
Have a wonderful day:)
Sounds like you've been making great use of your Spring weather!!
I love the lovely bluebonnets!! We don't have fields of flowers like that here in Colorado yet. But eventually we will get fields of Sunflowers/Black-eyed Susans.
I will have to do that tradition and photograph my kids in the fields of flowers each year! Sounds like lots of fun! Love your pictures!
warmer walking weather makes me want to get a new walking wardrobe!

Your happiness jumps out of this post. You are truly a warm weather gal!:) Great post and cute pics.
What a great tradition. It will be so great to have those pictures all through the years. You are so cute with your three girls.
So pretty! I love Spring and LOVE all the wild flowers that spring up! We don't have blue bonnets here (at least not that I know of), but they are so beautiful in that picture!!
Oh, you are a lucky girl..I bet your coldest is something close to our warmest here so far. I love those Texas bluebonnets! I love it that you take pictures every year in them, too! That makes for true Texan pride. Yippee!
Love the bluebonnets. I had never heard of them before your post and Jenny's. Great pictures of you and your girls.
Love your self portraits, too! You and Jen crack me up! Those flowers are so pretty-I love that color! Hope you have a great week:)
I love the first photo of you! Beautiful, and love the way your hair is blowing in the breeze. If we had bluebonnets, I'd take pictures in them every year too!
I'm 100% with you on the no-weather-below-65, which is why I'm settled in Arizona, I suppose. I loved your quote & loved your pictures. Your girls are adorable!
Such pretty pictures. I'm jealous of you guys with the bluebonnets. I love evening strolls too.
