A Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's

On Friday afternoon we set out to surprise Kevin's dad with a visit ~ he had retired earlier in the week and we thought we'd celebrate with him for the weekend. Kevin's mom knew we were coming....but I think we successfully surprised Grandpa S. :)

Chloe could hardly believe that they had a play sweeper:



She played with this a lot during the weekend....and all their other cool toys as well :)

Saturday was sunny (but windy!) so we got to hang out at the playground for a little bit. Chloe loved the slides:


And everyone got a chance to swing:


We also got to visit with Aunt Karen, Uncle Bob, and Stephen. Stephen would have made an excellent big brother (he's the little brother in his family) - he was very nice with Chloe, showing her how this tape player worked....although, he was probably a little disappointed that she can't say Stephen yet. We're still practicing though ~ maybe she'll have it down soon and I'll be able to put it on video! :)


We went to church on Sunday and then began our car ride home. We had a great visit and the next time Kevin's parent see us, we'll be a family of 4! :)

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 :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
