Such a good sport

Kia is so good with the kids. Luke and Paisley sure had fun with her one morning.

Luke really is INCREDIBLE

Spring is Here?!

It is officially spring according to the calendar. But we were hit with a sudden snowstorm last night. It was especially crazy since the day before we were out in our shorts and t-shirts getting sunburned while camping.

Spring Break

This week was spring break for the kids. We spent a few days at a great YMCA family camp with lots of good friends and temperature controlled cabins with running water. My kind of camping. Some great campfires to sit around and perfect weather for the kids to run around with eachother from sunup to sundown. This has become somewhat of a tradition with friends and the kids have such a good time. John came up for a night and a day to hang with the family and almost insane amount of kids that are together at these events. This year we were even served 4 of our meals and it was pretty good food too. We had putt-putt golfing , rock climbing, archery, hay rides, candle making, canoeing, fishing, and games to keep everyone occupied.

Just a little muddyThis ride is a bit more tippy than the canoe

Luke's Sunday School picture

Not sure what to say about this picture Luke drew. It gave his primary teacher a good laugh.

Yo-yoing

Ethen has found a sudden fascination in yo-yoing recently. Luckily Scott learned from his father (yo-yo master) and is able to teach Ethen a few tricks. All Ethen could ask us is if we could go to the store to buy a yo-you all week. He lost his blue butterfly one and had to get a replacement. Uncle John made his day and brought a yo-yo to him (thank you John). So he has been working on a few tricks and now is checking out every kind of yo-yo there is online. He makes some funny faces while doing tricks :) But I sure am relishing that he is interested in something non tech. Back to some good old fashion kid toys!!!
