Happy Easter! It was a rainy day but my children looked bright and lovely. After church they found their Easter baskets and the first thing they all did was eat the ears off their chocolate bunnies. We went to Grandma Colleen's for dinner and it was so delicious and fun. Only thing missing again was Joel. Let's hope for next year.

For spring break I took my kids to a place in Centralia called The Great Wolf Lodge. It has a huge water park inside of it. We spent one night and I took my sister Breanna with me. We had a great time. It has been pouring rain and snow for all of spring break so I am glad if nothing else we did that one thing. The only thing missing was Joel!

Family Night! We talked about families and the different responsibilities we have. I love my children so much!!

It has been too long since I have kept this updated. I apologize to everyone who has visited and found the same old pictures. I am going to give this more effort. Joel is in Kuwaitt for the next year and Neeley suggested that he might enjoy visiting an updated blog. So that will be my extra motivation. Love to all family and friends!

We woke up to a beautiful snowy morning! It will be Spring in a few weeks but we don't mind one more snow day. The kids made the most of it! Poor Sadie had to get on the bus. She was not happy.

Emma was so excited to start Pre-school. Isaac went to Miss Karen too. The cool thing about that is that Miss Karen was my pre-school teacher too! She is great. Isaac started Kindergarten knowing how to read because of her. Isaac also couldn't wait to start school mostly because of the bus. So here he is striking a few poses before the bus comes. Ethan and I were his audience(not that he needs one) while he danced around letting loose of an energy that if they could just bottle we would never be tired again!

When school starts again I always have such mixed feelings. My kids get excited to go and so I am excited for them but I of course feel the sadness that they are one year older and how quickly time is passing. Here are my beautiful nephew and neice and my wonderful daughter Sadie on one of their first days of school.
