Blue Bonnets

I forgot to post our Blue Bonnet photos from a few weeks back.  It was really windy, and we couldn't all keep our eyes open.  

I sure do have cute kids!

Leah loves to write notes to us.  She is always helpful.  I know they say boys are the messy ones, but more often then not she will be my child wet or covered in mud.

Joshua has straight A's and loves science and math.  He also just joined the chess club at his school.

Dallin is doing wonderful in school and he has a perfect report card!  He is a great reader and has the third highest AR points in his class.

Evan loves Rylan and loves when comes over to play.

Evan is starting to count a little, and express himself a little better.  He loves his binky way too much.  

Michael and I being goofy.  

We also took out the little pool for a little swim yesterday. 

It was cold at first but they still enjoyed it!  Swimming in April is crazy!  :)

April Showers Bring May Flowers

This weekend we worked our yard.  The kids played.  

The weather was gorgeous.  We have storms coming in at night, but during the day it is beautiful.

My kids have been living outside this Spring.

Evan keeps himself busy while the boys practice soccer.

Joshua had marathon day at school. They had to run 26 laps. Research was done about Marathon.  They also measured 26 in different units.  He had a great time.  

Leah and I planted flowers.

She picked out the pink and purple ones.  

Michael worked for two days straight in the yard.  It is looking so much better.  He even fixed the lawn mower!  He is so handy!

Fairview Half

It was a busy week, with Michael off in Boston, but I got to run it out this Saturday.  My friend Elise drove into town for it.  My friend Jennie and brother in law Tony ran their the half for the first time.  We had perfect weather!  Jenny and Rylan came with us and cheered us on and took all these great pictures!  Thank you!

We are all still smiling at the end!  I finished with my best time!  I was quite proud because the course was so hilly and I hadn't gotten much sleep all week.  :)

Tony did great and made it through to the end.  He loved the gummy bears that were given out during the race.

Jennie even had a fist pump at the end.  She made her goal!  

This race gives out awesome medals!  I love running with friends!  I am so grateful for friends!  I was even able to hang out with the girls in the evening.  It was nice to catching up and visiting with friends.

Elise did great!  After not sleeping very well, she finished strong!  It was great to see her and her family!  We miss them so much!  We will have to drive out to visit them soon!

Happy Easter!

Joshua had his Boat Regatta this week.  The boys did a great job.  They let Dallin participate.  Joshua ended up in second place.  Dallin could only do it for fun, and not allowed to place.  He won quite a few races.  

All the boys had a great time!

We had a fun Easter egg hunt with Aunt Jenny and Uncle Tony.  The kids had fun finding their eggs.   Easter is so fun, and the weather was perfect.

We dyed some Easter eggs.

Leah's were all pink of course.  :)  

Easter morning they came out to baskets full of goodies.  

They hunted around for a few more eggs full of candy.

The boys are getting fast at finding their eggs.

The kids each got some new shorts and shirt to wear.  I love Easter and the reminder that Jesus died and  was Resurrected and we can all return to live with Him again.  Happy Easter!   

Spring, Happy Birthday Michael, Soccer, and Lawn Mowing

Spring is here so we have been playing outside quite a bit.  We have been playing at the park a few times a week.

.

We have also been playing at the Arboretum

Leah and Evan had fun with their cousins and new friend.

The tulips are so pretty!

Michael had a Birthday!  We celebrated today with cake, pizza and a dart gun war.  Michael got lots of nice gifts, texts, and phone calls.  We are so lucky to have him in our lives!  He is the best!

After school we have been heading outside to play!  I love this time of year!

The boys had their first soccer game.  Dallin scored a goal, and his team played great!  Michael coaches Dallin's team.

Tony coaches Joshua's team and they did great as well!  Joshua played hard!

Michael taught the boys to mow the lawn today.  They both enjoyed it for now.  :)

Killing me with Cuteness!

We got to watch Leah's last ballet class.  We usually have to sit outside and can't watch.

These girls are adorable.  Leah got to lead, which she loves to do.

It is nice to see all that she has learned.  

She has a few of the positions down.  

She listens well to her teacher, which makes me proud.  :)

This Leah with her teacher and entire class.  

The teacher is so good with them.  It was so cute to watch.  I am glad the boys got to watch too.  Leah has to sit through all of their soccer games, so I was glad they could support her.

Aunt Jenny took the pictures for me.  :)  Thank you!
