YMCA All Sports class

This spring we enrolled Ty and Gabby in the YMCA Sports class. I don’t know if it was worth what it cost, but it got them interested in sports and playing…just not interacting with other kids, like i had hoped. Another day for that i guess. This was their last class, and they had a lot of fun. Thankfully after the first couple of weeks, they did start participating, instead of standing there looking at their coaches like they were idiots. We had a great time watching them and cheering them on. Just a preview, i’m sure of what’s to come once they get involved in school (band geeks like their parents?).

Lex finally has enough hair for piggies!

Here she is…my youngest daughter…and she finally has enough hair for pig tails! she’s only two years old. Her older sister had this much hair at 9 months! Needless to say, she’s adorable, and once again, i hope that her little curls stay…but they won’t…none of our kiddos curls have stayed…so i must enjoy while i can!

We also had a picnic outside today. fun stuff, and it keeps the mess outside for the mutly to clean up, instead of me!

Wow, it's really been that long!

Here we are...i'll try to update more...i stink at this game. Today we went to Caledonia's easter egg hunt. Jeremy couldn't go, as he had to work today (one of the rare times that he has to work a saturday...) so i thought i would see if nana and papa would like to partake. They did so lovingly! Too bad it turned out that they were prepared only for the size of crowd they had last year, which was 1/3 the amount of people they had this year! None of our kids got to "find" any eggs. Lex went running and fell and then Ty toppled over her - by the time they got up - all and i do mean ALL of the eggs were taken. A little girl did stop and give Ty one of hers, so that was nice, but the majority of people were walking out with nothing! So we have decided (well, i have) that if no one builds a house in the field behind ours for next year - we're going to do our own. Bring your own plastic eggs filled with candy to hide, and we'll do our own little shin dig! So to make up for the disappointment (they weren't really disappointed much at all) nana said the easter bunny told her that he was bringing some extras to her house to hunt down...yeah!

We came home and had lunch and i took the kids outside for a little photo shoot in their cutie clothes and now they are napping. We'll finish up the resurrection eggs in the evening - as i want the children to understand what Easter is really about (where did the bunny come from anyway?) They need to know that they have a God, a wonderful God that loves them and sent His son to die for them...and that tomorrow, a tomorrow many many years ago, He arose from the tomb and lives today. I proudly say He is my Savior, and i (we) will celebrate that tomorrow! He is risen, He is risen indeed!

Photo Shoot…wow, i really need some classes…but we had fun anyway!

I took the kids outside to play (and wear them out before nap time…so we did a little photo shoot while they still had their cutie springtime clothes on!  not too shabby for a p&s camera and someone with no skills (yet)….
