Kindergarten Field Trip


Savannah's kindergarten class took a field trip yesterday to a farm. It was so cold and muddy that they had to wear boots and hats but they still had a great time. Our neighbor went with the kids and took some pictures for me. She had a great time and especially loved riding on a school bus.

Easter 2011



Tuesday we went to see the Easter Bunny at Valley West Mall. Austin was scared to death.


then we went to ride the train, Austin still traumatized by the Easter Bunny did not want to ride the train...after it stated he was fine.


Wednesday we did a little Easter craft and added a little sparkle to some eggs and hung them from our dining room light and the girl's light in their bedroom.



Saturday we had our Easter Dinner since Jason is on night shift this month and had to be to work by 5pm on Sunday.


Then we color our Easter eggs, that is always fun trying to keep the eggs on the table and not spill the cups full of food coloring. We dropped a few and and some tears but overall it wasn't bad.



Sunday we woke up...way too early (6:45am) what? they don't even wake up that early on Christmas, and looked for our eggs and baskets that the Easter Bunny hid.


Then outside for some pictures before church...ya that went about as good as our Christmas pictures everyone looking at different times and Austin knows you want him to look so he won't.




After church we took a few more pictures and I finally got Austin's face but just because Jason was holding him.


our posers









One last picture before Jason left for work.



We had a great Easter and it was really just a laid back day. I didn't cook dinner since we had our big dinner the night before so we just had leftovers and then the kids got "Tangled" from the Easter Bunny so we watched it, ate candy (Olivia at way too much and ended up losing her's at 4:30am), and headed off to bed.

Peanut Butter and Jelly

What happened to the good old peanut butter sandwich for lunch?

Lunch at our house is not that easy, Madi doesn't like the smell of peanut butter and so she won't eat it and Olivia doesn't eat bread..?don't ask. Today as I was making lunch I just thought how nice it would be to just through some peanut butter on bread and call it good for everyone instead, one had peanut butter on a spoon and the other had ham (with no bread). I am begining to wonder if my kids even know what a sandwich is. (I do have to say Savannah will eat peanut butter and jelly, and I am trying to get Austin started on them except for some reason didn't eat his today.)...Are my kids weird or do yours do the same thing?

can't keep him inside

The other reason I want spring to come back is that Austin cries every time I bring him inside. He loves wearing his new tennis shoes, throwing the balls around and pushing his bike.

and who can say no to that face.?

warm weather come back


Last Saturday Jason made dinner for us and we had our first family barbeque/picnic of the year. It was such nice weather and the food was great, but now the last few days have been cold again. I still haven't put away the snow gear just because I never know if it is going to warm or cold.

Spring where are you? please come back and stay.


The kids even had sunburnt cheeks


PS Did I tell you how much I love having my own yard.!?
