Easter Bunny Toys

Luke Got a BasketBall from the Easter Bunny. I was worried that morning while getting dressed and Listening to conference at the same time when I noticed it was snowing outside. But, Colorado weather changes so quickly, It turned into such a beautiful day!!

John's present was a airplane. He loved it. Making it fly is serious business. Ready, set, GO!!

Cassidy is my little Jump rope queen. She will spend all recess at school on the jump rope. I've heard a couple of days when she came home sad because someone wouldn't share. I've asked her why I don't see her jumping at home. I was then informed about how her ropes are not as good. That was confirmed by Abe. So the Bunny brought her a "GOOD" rope. Just look how happy she is.

OOps, The planes are not made to last I guess.

(Our landscaping is underway. It gets better every day.)

With less then one month to go till we welcome our newest little baby, I am feeling great! Very excited. I can't wait to see him for the first time.

April is such a busy month for our family. I really didn't need to add more to it. O-well,

Luke just turned 6. Then one week later, Abe had his birthday. Then Easter. Cassidy Is now 8. My how the years go fast. Also on Cassidy's Birthday, Luke and Cassidy got to do the Comfort Dental Jr. Starting Line up for the COlorado Rockies. Its no wonder i'm just now getting to the Easter picture posting. The rest to come. I have so many new pictures to share.

Weekend Fun

This weekend was a fun one. The kids (Cassidy & Luke) didn't have school Friday. So they got to come with us on the Field trip to sweetsville zoo. It is local, Free & fun. John's preschool class had it scheduled.

I was so happy with the weather for the day. It was Perfect. ! The weather lately has been. Although it won't last. We have snow coming on Friday. But i'm ok with that. All the snow on the ground from November has finally melted.

Its not a zoo with animals as you can see from the pictures. It has things built out of metal scrap. It reminded me of the movie robots.

The kids loved pretending everything was eating them.

After, they helped dad in the garden while I soaked up some sun.

They even had a great time flying a Kite. I was singing the song from Marry Poippins all day because of it. "Lets go fly a Kite" . I think my kids could be on a 100 open acres with only 1 tree and yet they will get the kite stuck in the tree.

Hawaii

Here we are in Hawaii. It is sweet. We did not get washed away by the tsunami, but it did ruin a day. We hope you enjoy our pictures.

Here is our own Corona commercial.

I guess this is why they call it sunset beach.

The old lady that sold us the coconut said if Amber drinks coconut juice every day it will make the baby come out nice and easy.

Quote of the day

ME: "Luke what does CTR mean?"

Luke: "To Be Good!"

I think we should change CTR to TBG!

The Elf was spotted

I didn't get a picture. I wish now that I had. I was very busy at the table with Abe's project. I love how he decided something needed to be done. Then he goes to work & I am the one left doing it. So I was about 3 hrs into the project when John came out of his room GREEN. He found a green marker and decided to make himself "Pretty". He took his clothes off to color his legs, arms, tummy, Even face. That is when my 5 year old stepped up to the job. I am so proud of Luke, He wanted to help me out. So He took John back into his room. Using up a whole tub of baby wipes, Got John all clean. I couldn't put into words how proud I was of him. All I could think of was to tell Him that while Luke was being such a GOOD BOY i had spotted an Elf peeking in through the window. The Elf saw the good act and is going to report back to Santa. That did the trick.! It made Luke so happy and the rest of the kids started running around trying to be good asking if i've seen another one yet. The Power of the Elf. I had no idea.

New pictures.

Silly Kids!! They are so cute. This was taken before church yesterday.

These pictures were taken Before the Daddy Daughter Dance. Cassidy and Abe both look forward to this every year. They already have it scheduled for next year. In fact. Cassidy said just before she left for this one that she changed her mind. She hopes the baby will be a boy and she can keep going to this alone with daddy. Not have to share.

I have to say thanks to My cuz. Juline. She was here that weekend and she made Cassidy's hair look like a princess. It was so much fun having her. I can't wait till she comes back.

Snowboarding

We pulled the kids out of school yesterday and took them snowboarding up to A-Basin. It was really fun.
