Saturday of FUN!!!!

The past few days have been gorgeous! Sunny and warm. The kids have been excited for the newness of Spring. Easter is going to be here before we know it! Ethan, Alexis and Hunter are growing so much and everday, they make me laugh, cry and everything in between!!! :) Chris and I painted Alexis' room today and we also got a new kitchen table and chairs! YAY! The first one since we were married! For those of you that can remember, our original table and chairs set was bought for $40 at a neighbor of Chris' parents and as we left INDIANA about 4 years ago, the table came with us while the chairs were left. I'll just say it's wonderful to have a set now!!! :) Alexis loves her room. It's a light pink color. Looks great! I'll post pictures when it's all done, hopefully by the end of the week!!!
My nephew came to visit today. We were outside nearly all day! It was 72ish outside and gorgeous! The kids loved the park, ice cream, out to dinner, painting this morning, and mam-mah coming to visit for the day! They went to bed right on time without any FUSS too! :0
Enjoy the pics....

happy days are here....

So for the past week and a half each one of the kids has had the stomach bug! First Ethan, then Hunter and now Alexis. Yesterday was rough, but she has not thrown up yet today nor her dinner last night! So, that's great! Poor her! She I think has gotten the worst of it....she crys everytime she goes to the bathroom. Hopefully, the kids are now on the mend and feeling better! :) Here are a few random pics we have been taking....enjoy!

SPRING is in the air....

YAH!!!! I think this 20 inches of snow everytime it snows is LONG GONE!!!! This week is to be 60+* EVERYDAY of the week! LOVE IT! I'm ready for mulch and flowers decorating!!!!
HERE are some pictures!!!!

Yummy Suckers...

Spending the day in C'ville...

I know this is crazy and we've almost lived here for 2 years, but today was my first get away to Charlottesville! Daddy had to sleep, and so we packed it up with Mammah and out the door we went! It was really fun. We ate lunch at 5 guys, which Ethan and Alexis love b/c these kids absolutely love BURGERS and FRIES!! Then we went to the Children's Museum and played and learned some new facts before heading over for some ice cream. It was a sunny day. There were tons of dogs on leashes that the kids, including Hunter loved petting! People were playing and singing their guitars and you would have thought it was spring with everyone in short-sleeved shirts! Well, I guess it was 47* today! Enjoy the pics!

The Lorax

Ethan was in his first play at school. The month of March is reading month and so the kindergarten through second grade performed Dr. Seuss' THE LORAX. Ethan played the part of a brown barbaloot! He did a fantastic job. It was really fun to get to go to his school with our whole family and eat dinner there and then watch a play! WAY TO GO ETHAN!
WE mostly got his play on video, but here are a few pictures of the evening!

Pinewood Derby Racers....

The pinewood derby race went great! Aside for a few small things, all participants had awesome cars, each one very unique! It was so fun and exciting to see the girls through each step of the process to their completed creations! The cutting is definately one step I will NEVER forget! What memories! Although the end result was a YM winner....of the race, I am totally proud of each girl who worked really, really hard to make their car their own! Here are some pics... and Ethan and Alexis made their own cars too....it was very exciting to watch Ethan get into this....some sight for the future! :)
