Birthday Weekend

Wow! What a weekend!!It started when Mimi and Poppop got to town on Thursday afternoon.  We took them and the girls to the mall on Friday to get some energy out....and April did the slide all by herself! :)

Here she goes:



She also discovered the tunnels....


Friday night, my cousin's family came over to give April her present since they could not come to the party....and we got this cute picture of Grace and Chloe: 

and then Saturday was party day!! 



We had a house-full of guests (because it was snowing! no chance of going outside...) but I think everyone had a great time.  April loved the singing, and had no problem with her cupcake:


neither did this girl:


Aunt Laura and Connor came all the way to celebrate April :)  Connor had a pretty good time!!

After lunch & cupcakes, it was time for presents!






April got so many nice things & cute clothes for the summer!  She'll be the style icon of the church nursery :)

The rest of Saturday was spent playing with Grandma and Grandpa:


What a weekend!  Tonight I take April to the doctor's for her one year check up.  I'll be posting her stats and what she's up to at 12 months this week!! :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)
