Things that make me smile...

At school...

J juggled scarves at the school book fair. He was scheduled to do this for 15minutes. He probably did this for 2min. and spent the other 13 bopping around doing who knows what. He's a social bug.

While we were there I was finally able to E's art on display at school. They have what are called outstanding artists and their art is displayed either for the whole year or for a month. She is here with art that has been chosen to be up all year, in a frame.

This was a piece chosen for a month. These skills she gets from her daddy.

J had his 2nd cello concert and did great! He started playing it cool when mom's around. I'm not sure how I feel about this. He wasn't please with me taking his picture here. I don't think he really cared, but he acted like he did. I'm not having it.

Easter

I love Easter. I love it. I was so thankful for a gloriously warm day yesterday.

Here's a keepin' it real collage of the kids in their Easter attire. One keeps his eyes closed, another only smiles after being threatened by her father, one keeps moving and the youngest looks high.

We had a restful afternoon and then later on Den's fam came over for a light meal and dessert. I put together an egg hunt including resurrection eggs (the girls are in front of a chart for it where they put the elements from the eggs) but the boys decided they were too old for it this year. What? Too old for chocolate? What's this world coming too? They would've rather played ball and they did.

We spent a good deal of time watching and wondering if the storm would reach us.

It did.

So we crammed inside and loudness and chaos ensued. The kids loved it all.

E's dress that I made this year.

Today was also beautiful and we had guests to enjoy it with. J stayed the night at his cousin's house. I need more pics of that boy!

Just in case these two are best buddies and either have a grad party together or get married, we are going to have plenty of cute pics for an awesome slide show. Just in case.

Growing...

Wheatgrass

J Started Baseball....

But you'll have to take my word for it, because during his practices we've been playing at the playground. The ONE time I was able to watch him practice I forgot my camera. Figures.

Thank You Grandpa & Grandma!

Marriage on the Rocks

Somebody went against my wishes upstairs.....of course he's still cute, but that's NOT the point. I dare say our marriage will survive this.

Other fun earlier that day.

Please Stay Tuned

Enjoy the music...

while we pull up our pants and get back to our regular scheduled blogging.
