Capturing Spring

Today on the way to Church I noticed the trees at the hospital were just starting to bloom. These pink flowered trees are my favorite spring tree so if anyone wants to tell me what they are I would be very pleased. I have an idea but don't know for sure. (OK this is what they are called: Saucer Magnolia, Japanese Magnolias or sometimes are called Tulip Trees but not to be confused with the Poplar variety called a tulip tree. That was my confusion. They have the same name and are completely different trees but now I know apparently they are the same family, who knew? Thanks Walt! )
Well on the way home from church I thought I would take a quick picture at least so I could ask someone what they were. The kids after sitting in church so well and so long asked if they could step out for a minute too. So it turned into a lot of pictures and a lot of running around. Ben usually isn't a runner but boy was he hard to keep track of today.

This is how it always seems to go when I try and do a group pictures. They all go in different directions. Then I say hold hands and then half of them end up on the ground and start crying.

That is my Avery. :)

Boy do I wish this one was in focus!

I guess these pictures don't work so well then it is bright outside. They couldn't even open their eyes. But they thought it was funny.

I liked this one because you can see Payton just as he is about to catch the falling petal. Avery is trying to blow more out of the tree.
