Preschool, Talent Show & Easter

I can't believe Sarina is all done with Preschool!  She did a great job and is now ready to start
Kindergarten! Eeek! That leaves Mommy home alone! How did she grow up so fast!
 Reilly played his piano recital song once again during the school talent show! 
Great Job Bud! You've got the talent. 
 
 On Good Friday we colored our Easter eggs outside.  The kids are thrilled to be in shorts and tank tops again! 
 We tried these new q-tips that you snap and then ink comes out.  Sarina was coloring away with the purple when it just up and snapped off! I caught her less than thrilled expression.  
 
 Reilly's work of art!
  
 Sarina's prized egg!
 Mommy did some too! 

 Before we finished it started to rain...and then poor! We hurried inside and set up at the table.  
By the time we were done it was sunny again and Daddy had come home.  We headed out to the timber for a quick hike and hunt for mushrooms before church.  Luckily we out ran the rain and got home before it started poring again! Gotta love the spring popup thunderstorms.

 Happy Easter

We were blessed with a beautiful Easter Sunday this year! 
At 6:00am we went to the Sunrise Services in Goodfield.  
Cracker Barrel for breakfast...back to Goodfield for Sunday School...
Up to Eureka for the afternoon and then home to bed for a nap!
 My goofy kids!
 
 Hide your eyes!
 Surprise! A pair of goggles and a T-shirt to wear in the mountains of Colorado!
 
 After a good afternoon nap we headed to Mom and Dad's for supper.
The kids enjoyed finding the Easter eggs Grandpa hid for them!
 

 We even got to peek at the REAL eggs!

 Red Bud LOVE!
 Examining their loot!! What a fun and beautiful evening.
Thankful to be together with family and celebrate the RESURRECTION of our LORD!
HAPPY SPRING!

On into April...

We have come across a very delicious snack! Sarina tends to graze all morning long so we created this yummy treat to hold her over until lunch time! Fresh sliced banana with a few mini chocolate chips.  Nuke it in the microwave for 30 seconds and you have yourself a somewhat healthy snack!!
 Last week Reilly had his spring piano recital!
Before we left the house I snapped a few of these pictures.  
We are so excited for spring!

 It was a great Recital! Great Job Reilly!! Keep it up!

Spring Break

Chula Vista

Sunday afternoon and Monday we made a dash for the Dells.  
It was a quick trip and we made some more memories! 
We're off! 
 Admiring our view!
 Ready to get wet!

 One of their favorite places to "hang" out was this climbing rope!





 On our way back to the room Sunday night the kids got to ride a train.
 Monday morning breakfast.
We were so excited to see that Paul Bunion's was open again! 
 These donuts are awesome!


 This is what a day at the waterpark will do to you...sleepy kiddos.
 Our supper stop was at Moe's.  It cracked me up to watch the kids get their drinks.  They've never seen this many options before.

 Disney on Ice

Last night we surprised the kids and took them to Disney on Ice! 
 5 minutes 'till showtime!!
 We saw three amazing performances of Disney stories. 





The kids loved the surprise! Hope to go back again sometime!
We were glad to have a great week with Reilly home from school.

March...everyday life...

We had the most snow this year dump in early March.  The morning Sarina woke 
up to the snow she was in her boots and coat and out the door before breakfast!
 Giggle in her glory!
 I let the kids decorate the chalk eggs this year!
 It takes lots of concentration...
 
 and sticking out your tongue just a little helps in some way too!
 Their finished art work.
Just this week Sarina finished her preschool book that we have been working on here at home!
She was thrilled and signed her certificate all by herself.  Great Job Sarina! You're going to do great in School!
