It's Tulip Time!

It's tulip time here in the Skagit Valley. I love the big field of tulips this short time of year and I always think "wouldn't tulip pictures with the boys be so cute". In theory, yes, but each year I try, the boys are somewhat less than cooperative. After a few minutes of begging and a bribe (notice the dollar bill with Conner), I was able to get a few pictures thanks to the fabulous Grandma Marion. We are so lucky to have such a nice grandma!


They are so beautiful and smell so good....


I will only look at the camera for a dollar, mom....

Ok, maybe I will look this time but only because you promised there was a bird on grandma's nose. There is no bird, only that camera again.....

And with the promise of "If you sit and smile one time that will be the last picture, I promise". Then mom finally gets Braden and Conner to sit and smile.
It was a beautiful day and each boy picked out a bundle of tulips. Braden picked yellow with red specks and Conner picked a bundle of red and yellow tulips. And boys being boys, here they are pretending the tulips were swords.
Happy April!
