Hello Friends

Hello there. What a beautiful day we are having. I absolutely love Spring weather. Warm days with an oh so sweet breeze and those cool nights: Could it get any better? We have been really enjoying it with fun days spent outside playing at the park, coloring on our driveway, swinging on our swing set, and riding bikes (well our little man rides his power wheel lol).

 After my nephew had such a hard time with RSV we haven't taken the children out in public yet. I know we will have to do it sometime soon, I just would like Miss E to be  a bit older before we do. Which has been hard because we have been really missing our church and our church family. I don't mind home church every so often but there is something so special about connecting with other believers in worship and in truth. Maybe that's why God tells us to do so in His word! Anyway if your reading this and you go to our church we truly miss yall.

I am excited that summer is on it's way. I can not wait for the numerous fishing trips that we have planned. I love to fish. :) Our boys love it too. I am also excited to take them camping. We usually take a camping trip to Michigan every summer. I absolutely love this time spent together away from everything. Do you have any annual summer traditions you do with your family? If so I'd love to hear about them. :)

Easter Sunday

Our Easter was wonderful! It was filled with lots of fun activities: Coloring eggs, Easter egg hunts, playtime with cousins, & great food. I am so thankful that we serve a living Savior and because of his death and resurrection I am forgiven. Hallelujah! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter as well.

Playtime at the Pond

Yesterday we took the boys out to have a fun adventure at Joel's grandparents pond. They absolutely love it there, and they come by that naturally. Joel and I have spent numerous fishing dates at the pond long before children. :) I love the fact they can just play in the dirt for hours. Daddy also took them on the paddle boat yesterday and both boys faces lit up. Kaden likes to fish, just doesn't have the patience to wait on the fish to bite. He caught a bunch last year, but yesterday had no such luck. David could care less about fishing up until you actually reel it in, and then he wants to touch the slimy creatures. :) Because of the sun/wind Emmy and I sat in the van together watching from afar. I am sure in due time her love for the outdoors will be just as strong as our boys. There is something about fresh air and sunshine that does the body good. Since Emmy wasn't able to enjoy the outdoors, here is a picture of her sweet grin. I think it should be against the law to be so cute. Don't you agree?

April Fools

I saw this on pinterest a couple of days ago and thought it would be super funny to pull on Joel & Kaden. Bahahahaha. I wish there was someway to set the timer on my camera to go off as soon as they opened the fridge door to capture their expressions......hmmmmmmm. I know by even doing the littlest prank on Joel I am going to get it back ten fold. So if you see me at the supermarket with blue hair, you'll know what happened.

Do you have any fun April Fool's pranks you plan on trying today?
