Spring

It was such a nice spring day I had to take a few pictures before church

I said be silly and this is what I got.

Here is my best shot!

Leprechaun Trap

This year Easton and Gretchen each decided to make there own leprechaun traps

Gretchen working on her little house.

I didn't get a picture of the finished projects, but the leprechaun out smarted them and stacked there traps on top of each other and left a box of lucky charms.

Rock, Paper, Scissors

Kinslee just learned how to play rock, paper, scissors. She was walking around saying rock, paper, scissors shoot. 

In this picture for some reason Easton has none of the three options.

Easton's diorama

Easton has been working on his animal report for the past few weeks. This was the last thing he had to do. He loved learning about leopards.

I think it turned out pretty good!

Valentine's Day 2014

Gretchen received this pillow from a boy named tyghe who was in her class last year. We had our traditional candlelight dinner. We did chocolate fondue for dessert. Kinslee had an ear infection and the medicine finally let her sleep.

Easton's 9th Birthday!

I can't believe this little boy is 9 years old.

He had a very eventful day. He had school which he absolutly loves. Then he got to go to Aunt Andreas house while Gretchen had dance. Then he had a basketball game and uncle chuck, Aunt Andrea, Charly, Noelle and Kendall came to watch him. 

Then he finally got to open his presents.

His sisters gave him a night vision football.

Mom and Dad gave him two DS games.

He asked for a football cake.

Blowing out the candles.

Happy Birthday!!

Christmas 2013

Christmas Eve we usually always open pajamas, but the kids had been saying when we get our pajamas. So we decided to trick them. I put there new pajamas on there beds while chad was reading them a story.

They were way surprised that all that was in the box was a candy bar.

I wish I would have gotten a picture of Gretchen when she was going to her room. She was so sad she didn't get pajamas.

Here they are with there pajamas.

Christmas morning they woke up at 4:30ish. 

Before I would let them go downstairs.

Walking into see what Santa brought.

Easton opening up his DS, he was so surprised.

Kinslee opening something.

This is pretty much all you see Easton doing.

 We had a very wonderful Christmas! We are very blessed and grateful for all we have!
