Easter Weekend

The kids didn't have school Thursday or Friday so they started off the weekend with some pool time. It has just recently started getting warm enough outside, which is nice that it stayed cool for so long.

Here they are at war with the sprinkler...where do they learn this stuff?

After I worked Thursday and B worked Thursday night, we headed out to go camping for the long weekend. We took the pool with us. AC loves it more than anyone else. We have to drag her kicking and screaming from it...


B reading C a book :)

This was so adorable. The kids spontaneously laid down and were starring at the clouds. B turned to me and said that it made him realize how busy we have been. He told me he used to just stare at the clouds when he was in Montana and he can't remember the last time he looked at the clouds:)


Our camping trip got cut short when AM started running a fever. We stuck it out through the night although there wasn't much sleeping. We came home the next morning and AC started running a fever as well.


So, Easter morning was wonderful. The kids got their Easter baskets and we headed out for the egg hunt...



Since the girls were sick we could go to church(we had decided it would be too crowded anyways). We had a small service in our back yard on Glacier's Bench. We read from C's bible and sang a song.

Said a little prayer...
Played a little Wii...

And had a pretty good Easter!!

C's birthday celebration at school

C's birthday is in the summer so we got to celebrate his birthday at school yesterday:) He was very excited. He got to wear all comfy clothes and wear the birthday hat!!

We also celebrated by having a sing-a-long. I think the kids enjoyed it. I also read 2 books...how is that for ironic!

C's Rodeo!!

Look at this guy singing "God Bless America!" Do you think he is going to be a republican?

Here's a picture of C doing his FAVORITE dance....the Chicken Dance!!
I will have you know that C has never eaten an entire hot dog, bun and all...He did this day and it was amazing!!!
Of course, his favorite part was the cupcake!!!
Here is C's art contribution to the Rodeo Lunch!!

Just in case you forgot what the Chicken Dance was....GO TO A WEDDING!!!

B and I LOVE Texas. We have soooo much TX pride!! This is then our favorite song...

AM's Field Trip to Old McDonald's Farm

Pops was the lucky one that got to accompany AM on her field trip last week. Lucky for me, he took pictures as well. There is a big dirt pile the kids like to run up and down!!

Then, of course there was animals at the farm...

And a train to ride...

And a rope swing that you jump of into hay!

Look what we can do!!!

Here is C reading a book to his sister!! He has learned so much this year:)

AM has started to read and write her own letters. All relatives should expect one in the mail:)

AC had started feeding herself with utensils! This makes life sooo much easier for mom and dad:)
