Gone fishing...

Uncle Troy and Aunt Val gave the kids fishing poles for Christmas and we broke them out last week for the first time!

Here they are ready to go!

Bryan didn't put hooks on their lines for our 1st outting. Smart decision! They would have caught each other!

Getting pointers from Daddy...






Morgan did good and caught on pretty quick. She might just get a hook on her line next time out...





Graham needs a little more help. He had a good time but we were nervous about him dropping his rod in the water, hitting someone with it or falling in the water....



Catching on...


My favorite picture of my lil' fishermen!


Enjoying a new hobby...

We will have more fishing fun in the weeks to come. The weather is beautiful and the fish are biting!

School Easter parties

With Easter just days away we have been having fun with parties and coloring eggs...
The kids had their Easter parties at school today.

Graham and Mallory enjoying their breakfast

Opting out of craft time...

Graham's class (Audrey, Mallory, Carter, Graham). Addi was out for the day.

Egg hunting...





The timing of their parties worked out perfect. I was able to move right over to Morgan's egg hunt after Graham finished.

She was so excited that I was there for the hunt and party!

Morgan's class with her excellent teachers
(Mrs. Martin, Sam, Chase, Hudson, Gywenth, Oscar, Morgan, Chloe, Nicole, Chancey, Leo, Ava, Evangeline, Mrs. Junell)

Lunch party



Look at that cute dessert one of the mom's made...

They both had a wonderful time at their Easter parties and of course, I did too. We love it at First Faith--it has been a great experience for both of them! I can't believe the year is winding down so quickly.

Here are a few pictures of the kids coloring easter egg...
They were so excited...

Can you tell? Love the silly faces :)





Graham didn't understand we had to be gentle with the eggs. He was licking and hitting them on the table...cracking several of them...

Busy decorating the eggs...

I think we are now ready for...the Easter Bunny!!!

EGG-STRA BUSY!

This past weekend was egg-stra busy!!

Last Thursday, the Easter egg hunting began. We had our 1st hunt with our MECPTA friends.

Morgan and Clayton hanging out

Where is Graham?



Egg hunting time...

Best buds...

On Friday, guess who got a haircut??

That is right! Mr. Graham. So cute!

Friday night the kids had their Spring Program & Silent Auction Fundraiser.
They looked adorable!! Love them to pieces!!

We had bought raffle tickets for a chance to win VIP seating during the program and WE WON!! It was so nice to not have to rush up there super early to find a seat. We had the front row reserved for us so we were able to get some good pictures of our kiddos performing.

Graham and his teacher, Mrs. Mathiesen, who he loves!!

He spotted us on the front row and grinned and just stood there looking super cute!!!

Morgan also spotted us...she was a little shy but did she great!

On Saturday, the kids and I went to Clayton's 3rd birthday at Lowe's Farm and Bryan had to work. He had a super fun petting zoo party. I didn't take my camera - shame on me!

After the party and Bryan got home from work the kids napped and he and I worked our tails off in the backyard...cleaning flower beds, trimming shrubs and putting down 40 bags of mulch. It is hard work but I really do enjoy doing it. Finding the time is the biggest challenge. We know we will always have 2 hours while the kids nap (which is nice) but it's hard to get everything done in that time. Now we will have to find time to work in the front beds....or call someone to help??

The finished product...



Sunday afternoon we headed to the park for our Church's Annual Egg Hunt


Watching the worship service...


While Graham ran around...




Getting ready for the egg hunt...




Me and my littles...


Ready, Set, Go!!!



He is so funny! He is always so anxious to see what is inside the eggs he finds...

They had fun and got a few eggs...


Checking out their loot...


Gammy and kids

The 4 of us!

Uncle Brent helping Graham find all his chocolate...

Is it spring or summer? It was like a summer day at the egg hunt on Sunday...probably 90 degrees. A perfect afternoon for a snowcone!! I believe we are going to cook this summer!!




After the egg hunt we went to Bryan's parents house for Judy's birthday dinner. Her birthday was yesterday. Happy Birthday and Happy Year to Gammy!! We love you!


Gammy and Pops gave the kids a sweet early Easter surprise. Cute baskets packed with goodies. They are so spoiled!!!
