April Snapshot

Life on the farm is never dull!  Jesse built a birdhouse to complete his Wolf Patch requirements and was so excited to get it hung up just in time for spring nesting!  We also added Bandit the donkey to our menagerie, as well as a family of brier goats.  Hershey didn't like the donkey at all at first, but warmed up after the new goats arrived.

The boys volunteered at our area Special Olympics on April 11th.

Soccer, soccer, and more soccer!  These are from our April 26th game.

After our April 26th soccer game, we headed over to the Day of the Child event at the park to help represent the Cub Scouts!

April 26th was also the annual Cub Scout/Boy Scout Pinewood Derby!  It was our first ever race and we had a blast!

Our Easter

Heavy rains kept us from egg hunting at our annual church eggstravaganza, but we had a great time anyway!

The Easter Bunny was very good to the boys!

After church it was time for our family photos.  Our boys are growing up and we got three of the four to cooperate for a cousins picture.  And of course, we always have to have some silly photos!

Time for the cousins egg hunt!

After egg hunting, it was time to count our eggs and see what was inside!

Easter afternoon we visited with Grandma & Da and enjoyed a treasure hunt instead of an egg hunt!

Sweet Success!!!

Then it was time to paint our new crosses.

The kids did a fabulous job!

Precious children!

Coloring Eggs

Jesse's birthday party was on Good Friday, so Saturday was egg coloring day!  We were so happy that Whit was with us to share one of the boys' favorite Easter traditions.

 

One of my favorites!

Another favorite!

Love!  Love!  Love!

 

Love these three so very much!

Post Party Fun!

Although we celebrated Jesse's birthday ALL WEEK LONG he was not ready for the celebration to end.  So after his DINO-MITE party, Whit came home with us to spend the night and help Jesse play with all his new toys.

 

 

New games, new legos, new dinosaurs, and a new balloon animal kit all made for a great post party celebration!
