Life Lately

April had a great birthday.  Turning 9 has never been this good :)  She had a special sign sent by a friend and we had fun with that through the day. I arranged for a bunch of friends and relatives to stop by (staying in cars) and we spend most of the beautiful-weather day outside.  It was fun to see so many people and it made April feel special! 






A few days ago when the weather was nicer, the kids were working hard on fairy gardens. I think it turned out really well, and super cute!




Chloe needed a bigger bicycle and she got to go help pick it out.  Purple and 21 speeds!  Of course, this led to a Dad & Kids bike ride :)





The kids don't have new school work on Wednesdays or (of course) over the weekend. That has led to some sibling sleepovers. The girls spent a night in Peter's room. They prefer when he comes to their room though :)  We just pick up his mattress and bring it over - everyone stays comfy!



May the 4th was an obvious choice to watch a Star Wars movie!  The girls weren't as sure, but as we watched the original 3, they liked them more and more. We will probably be waiting to show them any additional movies from the series, but they did enjoy these ones. Of course, they were scared and hiding behind pillows (the girls anyway) during different parts, but overall they were enjoying!



We've taken lots of family walks.  These three are loving their matching shirts from Aunt Michelle.  Really, they can't wait to wear them when they see their cousins soon!!



What have I been doing? Lots of grocery shopping, wearing my mask ;)

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 :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
