Our Week....or maybe 10 Days!

Once again....trying to get caught up!  

The boys were "hunting" and trying to sneak up on the animals!

"Stay Low Kael"

Grandpa Craig getting the garden ready....with Kael's help!

Soccer has started....

Check out the ref....Aunt KiKi came to a game and ended up helping out!

Ready for some action!

Defense Girls!

Getting stuff off Grandpa Craig's trailor!

Kyle LOVES his bike...That is all that he wants to do!

Fred had some late nights....so it means a picnic in the living room! Don't mind the lack of Kael's clothes!

Got a little time with Dad in the tractor!

Kreighton likes to "walk and explore" the farm....not really sure what she is looking for....but she likes it! 

Waiting for Dad to pick them up!

Daddy's old tractor....Kyle is a proud driver!

Fun brother time!

Went to McDonalds with the some friends!  Kyle, Levi, Jace, and Keely....the 3 boys will all graduate together in 2020....I think!  

Kael helping Grandpa with his stump grinder!

Nice enough for shorts!

And mud and water!


We have been busy with an overlap of gymnastics, soccer, and softball but are loving it and once again this cold weather can go away and never come back!

Easter

Easter Weekend was great because we got to spend it with family....but also very sad because it was the weekend of my Grandpa's funeral. 

I took the kids to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Golf Course....Kreighton is apparently too old for the Easter Bunny because she did not even want a picture with him!  The only picture I took....my big camera was out of commission. 

The kids had an Easter Egg Hunt at Mom and Dad's as well! 

I guess Kyle thought it was a little dangerous because he wore his helmet to be safe!

Out for Easter Brunch at PinOak (would not recommend) 

Daddy and Kael

Mommy and Kyle....and I loved their bow ties!

Fish Hatchery....I mean where else would you take small children dressed in their Sunday Best!

This place is awesome!

My favorite picture....besties!

"Come on Nolan....I will show you the way"

Catching a fish....that is ok...right?

Easter Egg Hunt at Great Grandma's!  Before Grandpa's Wake.

Thanks Aunt KiKi

Clara and Nolan!

Not sure what they are talking about!

My favorite picture front the weekend! Lawnmower rides....what we did all the time in Delhi...I loved it...I can still remember the rugs that Grandma would put down so we would not get dirty....Grandpa would pull all 6 of us  around for as long as wanted....as a kid I thought it was comparable to a roller coaster ride....now I realize it was actually really slow....but none the less I loved it and all the memories!


After this we all went to the funeral home for Grandpa's wake....it was long sad day but I feel so lucky to be able to have so many memories of my Grandpa....he was one of kind who honestly thought his kids/grandkids/great-grandkids were the  best at whatever they did!  I know that he is smiling down from heaven still supporting us at every step in life!

This is Easter 2008....Kreighton and Great-Grandpa...that is the smile I will forever remember him by!

He loved my Grandma more than anything....his eyes lit up whenever she was around and he was never afraid to tell anyone what a great women she was!

When Kael came home from the hospital....they were at Mom and Dad's to meet him! 

I get told a lot that Kael looks just Great-Grandpa Dean!

Kyle and Great-Grandpa

Catch Up......

Playing catch up....

The Leprechaun came to our house....we attempted to catch him but he managed to escape! But before he left he pulled some tricky tricks!

Hung Kyle's boots up!

Kreighton's tennis shoes

And Kael's boots!

Green Glitter and footprints everyone! With Skittles!

The trap he managed to escape from!

Wrote them a note on the mirror!

Put glitter on their pictures!! 

The kids were disappointed we did not catch Lucky this year....but our already planning for next year on a sneaky way to catch him!

I took Kreighton, Kyle, and Will to Shrek the Musical....it was in Independence Highschool  and 

was awesome....highly impressed that it was performed by only highschoolers! Krieghton with some of her favorites....Lindsay and Lauren!

Will, Kyle, and myself!

Getting a quick snack at intermission!

Got to spend a morning with this girl....too bad it was to take her to the ENT where  she got cleared to stop the drops....but she has this weird gap thing in her ears which could lead to a hole in her ear drum....the DR says she sees it maybe 3 times a year and Kreighton is ever so lucky to have it in both ears!  She did pass her hearing test so that is good which they were worried with her ruptured ear drum it could have caused hearing loss but it did not! So I guess we are lucky for that...

I came down with Strep throat....which was terrible....I do not think I have it for over 25 years and I was miserable....Kreighton made me this super sweet card and Fred took all 3 kids out for supper so I could rest. 

Kreighton had her music concert and had to dress like the 80s....this was the outfit she picked out!

The boys and I went to AirFx and they loved it!

Happy Boys!

Kyle had a visit to the ENT where they pulled out one tube...they tried for the other but Kyle was having nothing to do with that! However they put his tube in a treasure box and the "tube" fairy came while he was sleeping! We are going back for the 2nd one....I am bribing him with a stuffed gator....if he does not let them pull it out in the office they have to put him to sleep and do it that way....which we do not want!

The kids all got hurt....or not they pulled an April Fools trick on Aunt Sissy and Uncle Brad!

And this happened...they had a sleepover in the boys' room...Kreighton read them their book and they slept all night!

I made bread....that is right my 1st time ever with Jude for 1st  Communion...I would have to say we did a pretty good job!

And things are getting busier and busier with soccer and softball starting up....but we are excited and can't wait for summer and nice weather!
