Spring Sports have arrived!

Peter is playing spring soccer & spring baseball. April is playing soccer on 2 teams. So, our weekends are filled with sitting in the sunshine watching two of our kids have a great time - it's not horrible ;)

Chloe was with us too. She does the best job of cheering. She's not usually a loud kid, but when she's cheering for her siblings (or their teammates) she's loud!!

(this is possibly the best picture of I've taken of Peter - look at that smile!)

(the Sunday afternoon team played an aggressive team....look at April giving some back though with that fist and arm! The ref started reminding them to keep their arms down after 3 fouls for tripping!!)

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" :)
