April Adventures

We had a busy April! The kids and I took a quick trip to Leavenworth over spring break, Jaydon started his baseball season, all the girls in the family got head lice (lucy's school had quite the set of huggy kindergarten girls who kept sharing), a school dance, a birthday a broken foot, some sunshine fun and a little bit of silliness thrown in.

Eating ice cream in Leavenworth (minus the fact that it was pretty cold outside)

Jaydon was the catcher in these photos

Oh the joy of lice

The kids school dance (where Jaydon broke his foot jumping from the play structure).

The one photo from my birthday - mostly eaten birthday cake!

Not a happy guy with 2 maybe 3 broken metatarsals in his foot. Poor kiddo, he was hurting but it took us a few days to get him to the Dr. because sometimes you just can't tell how much pain he is really in. Unfortunately it meant he had to miss the last month of his baseball season.

Happy Easter

We had another lovely Easter. We had to wake the kids up a little early to get to church in time to volunteer for the first service so our Easter Egg hunt was done with some sleepy eyes. We then had a wonderful time at church and of course headed up to Alger to celebrate with family, share a lovely meal and continue the tradition of a kids hunt and an adult hunt (man those eggs are getting hard to find). When we arrived home we were able to facetime with Granny and Papa and open Easter gifts from them. What a great day celebrating.

 

Lucy's birthday party

Lucy has a classmate whose birthday is 1 day after hers so we did a combined birthday party at a cool local jumping place. We all had a great time and really enjoyed running around and hanging out with some of Lucy's classmates.

All the kiddos

Dessert and present time

Enjoy the videos, if they work. We had quite a bit of fun with the obstacle course races.

Lucy turns 6

This amazing girl is 6! Lucy is such a joy. She is happy, kind, smart, athletic, funny, responsible and a wonderful person. She gives awesome hugs and spreads her joy to others. Her teachers adore her, her classmates become friends and her family feels pretty lucky to call her ours. She excels in school, loves riding her bike and doing gymnastics, reading stories and playing games. Horses are still her favorite animal and she is a true animal lover. We love you Lucy Ann!

Pretty excited before heading off to school

Home from school to open some presents

She picked the unicorn cake.

Jaydon's School Concert

 Jaydon enjoyed performing in his school concert. He did a great job and even got to be one of the dancers during the Oliver song they performed. The Broadway theme was a big hit and we enjoyed all of the performances.

March Birthdays

Grandpa and Nana were able to make it up for a visit in March so we decided to celebrate the March birthdays together.

Waiting for presents to be opened can be hard

Birthday gifts

Lucy took these last 2 photos herself. (When I found about 200 pictures of her new cats on my camera I figured she had some fun with my camera).
