Snow????

Snow? Come on, we want spring! This is a picture of our back yard the very last day of April. Amazing!

Anastasia's Dance Costume

Anastasia is getting ready for her end of year dance recital. They had pictures taken today and I decided to snap a couple of home shots before we took her out of the costume. She REALLY loves this costume and dance in general. She looked very cute in it.

Ashton's Birthday

Bryce and I met his cousin Ashton for his birthday at the In-N-Out Burger for lunch.  What a yummy way to celebrate!  These two are the best of buds.  It will be fun to watch them grow up together.

Big Tummy

Bryce said to me this morning..."Your tummy is big." Then he says, "Your tummy is so cute when it's big. I love that it has a baby in it."

What a sweetheart. Yes, I'm big, but I'm darn cute too!!

Easter Egg Hunt

Pics of the kids Saturday morning at the Easter Egg Hunt. It was cold!Bryce running for all the eggs he can.

Masha and Bryce.



Cousin Kaia, Anastasia and Tyler.

They all came away with tons of candy and Tyler with a kite, Anastasia with a basket of prizes and Bryce with a big, stuffed, blue bunny.

Bunny Hop

Tyler and Anastasia ran in the bunny hop at the school the Friday before Easter. Here are pictures of them at that event.

Anastasia in the middle.

Tyler getting set to race!

Tyler in first place, way across the field from me. He came in second of all the first graders at the finish line! Way to go!

Tyler and Bryce with Mrs. Easter Bunny, as they called her afterwards.

Anastasia at the end of her race. She did really well also. Way to finish!

Knee Surgery

Drew had knee surgery. A trimming up of his meniscus. It was all my fault too! I skied up to him one of our first days out this last winter to help him with Tyler. Unfortunately, we all ended up on the ground wrapped around one another and Drew had a very sore knee. If I had stayed back, we wouldn't have just paid for a darn surgery! Oh well, the lessons we learn. He's recovered really well already.

Soccer

Bryce is so excited to be playing soccer himself finally. These are pictures at his first soccer game ever. He is on the team with Zach.

Bryce and Zach

Pinewood Derby

JR had his final pinewood derby as a Cub Scout. They held it on his birthday. It didn't turn out as well as he hoped it would this year. Bummer! He can help his brothers now and help them do better.

They gave him a participation award. It was fun to see all the cars that the boys made during their den meetings, all on their own. A good challenge for them.

These were the refreshments. My boys thought they were so cool. Cars made out of a chocolate roll.

Bryce with his treat.

Happy Birthday!

JR asked for a strawberry cheesecake for his birthday. So we had that and opened gifts for his birthday. His primary teacher came by and G&G Benson were also with us. Eleven years old! It's amazing how time flies. Sister Lewis and friend Brad with thier gift.

A new ball, an essential, as far as dad is concerned.

Tyler with a gift.

A new football from G&G Benson.

A new lamp and other stuff from mom and dad. Yea, we're boring! :)

Anastasia and JR.

A very yummy cheesecake with 11 candles. Just for documentation sake, I'm about 7 months pregnant. Getting close.

Make a good wish!

Parent Night

Dress rehearsal, parent observation night for Anastasia's dance class. She loved being in this new costume!
