Easter Eggs

Who wants to color some Easter Eggs?

We do, we do!!!

However, every year it goes quicker & quicker. The kids love doing it but they also love the great outdoors on beautiful afternoons.  :)

Little Gymnast

This girl can't go anywhere without doing a cartwheel, handstand or round off. Literally. It's pretty entertaining. Monday is her favorite day of the week...she has gymnastics after school.

Snow, snow, snow, snow

We have A LOT of snow. Again. 

When will it ever end????

Spring Break 2013

Spring Break this year was spent at home...or very close to home. We had a relaxed but FUN time together. A lot of time was spent working on our house. We purged, sorted, donated, and organized a little every day. Of course, we also found time to PLAY!

Playdate with cute friends!

Thank goodness for indoor pools! 

Best buds!

Silly fish!

Time for some Blizzards!

A newly updated bookshelf! The librarian in me has really wanted to tackle this project for awhile. Jaedin's reading level sky-rocketed on my without any warning. Our book collection needed some major attention to meet her needs. I wish we had an entire room to organize all our books. For now, we will rotate between rooms.

Of course there was lots of silliness in our jammies!

The kids and I snuck in a movie & lots of popcorn!

We even found time for a fun date night!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

What a cold & wet St. Patrick's Day! The weather didn't stop us though. We headed to the Lawrence parade. Jaedin's softball team had a float and all the kids were very excited to pass out some candy!

Candle lighter Jae

Jaedin was beyond excited when my cousin, Bailey, asked her to be a candle lighter in her wedding. Even better, she got to do it with her cousin Paige. We had a fun weekend in Concordia doing lots of girly things!

Cousins all dressed up for the wedding!

Simply Beautiful!

Girls TRIP!

Jaedin was asked to share her story for the first annual American Red Cross Radiothon. You can read about what she did here. We stopped in Topeka on our way to Concordia for her to get interviewed by the American Red Cross and Country Legends 106.9. I am still amazed at how special they all continue to make us feel. Jaedin's heart grows every single time. 

Jaedin getting interviewed live on the radio. She did awesome!

After the interview, we headed to Concordia! We picked up GG and went to lunch with some of nana's old coffee buddies. They talked and talked and talked! We had a fun tea party with yummy treats before the wedding rehearsal.
