Track Meet & Geocashing

Big Junior High track meet was today.  Sophia was in a relay race and the shot put.  Madison ran in the 4 by 100 and the mile.  Her relay team ran out of gas at the end but she got second in the mile.  The girl who placed first was a friend of hers from her soccer team this past season, the same girl that beat her in the cross country meet earlier this year. She worked really hard for that ribbon and we are so proud!

We were in a geo cashing race for Troy's birthday tonight.  Boys vs. Girls.  Boys won, but not for lack of trying!  I say next year we go straight to the restaurant and enjoy cocktails while the boys run around like chickens with their heads cut off!  It was a super fun night.

Twin Day!

It's time again for twin day, you would think that the kids would eventually figure out that twins are only two kids.  Two outfits are easier to put together than 4 or 5 but alas, no.  More work for us but they definitely make for cuter photos!  Madison decided that since most of her twins were blond she needed to wear a wig.  I can't decide what is bigger, her actual hair or that insane wig!  Cute Ladies!

Muddy Mommies

I went with a group of ladies to a "mud run." Now anyone who thinks that doing something like this is fun seems a little off to me, but whatever floats your boat.  I just went along for the company and to take pictures, good thing I wore my boots because it was raining and muddy most of the day.  I wore a parka too!  It was seriously cold.  I can't believe how great everybody did though, I really have some amazing friends.

Happy Easter

Easter Sunday all dressed up and lots to do!  I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have Julie's family here this year.  We definitely don't see enough of her and Jon and the little stink bug!  I just love that little fire cracker.  She makes my girls so happy, grandma and grandpa too.  We had our egg hunt, opened Easter baskets and had lots of time to visit.  And lucky for us it was an absolutely gorgeous day.  Oh the many blessings!

Bridges Easter Party

Today we had so much fun at the Bridges but man is it hot!  I bet that Easter Bunny is super sweaty.  Madison and Sophia are getting pretty bored of these events, but Sadie is making the most of every minute.  She had a blast on the bungee jumper, climbing wall, jumpee, rode the pony, and decorated cookies.  What more could you want for in an Easter Party?  How about an Easter Bunny that shows up in a helicopter?  Yep they've got that too! 

Kristin Rachelle

Kristin is a constant source of amazement for me.  Is it really fair that she has all this talent and the most obnoxiously incredible personality!  I think not, somebody needs to punch her in her skinny face, but not me because I love her!  I just had to share the beautiful pictures she took of my parents with their grandkids.  I love all these pictures (these are only some of them).  But I will truly cherish these family pictures.  I am so blessed with an amazing family and friends, I will never be able to express my gratitude and thankfulness for having you all in my life.  

PS Kristin if you read this don't think I didn't notice how skinny you made my face and I love you all the more for it!!

Legoland With Dylan

Julie and Dylan came to town for the last couple days of our spring break to spend the Easter Holiday with the entire family!  Sophia and Maddy have the most fun watching Dylan get so excited while riding all the rides.  Next stop "The Big Test!"  You put the wet stuff on the hot stuff!

Visiting Vacationers

The Brown's and the Jansma's go out to Palm Springs every year for Spring Break.  This year we decided to crash their party for the afternoon.  The kids had so much more fun playing with their friends than just on their own at the pool.  I think we are going to come here next year instead!  

The more the merrier, right?

I like the night life...

Hit downtown Palm Springs tonight for a little dinner and shopping.  The restaurant was amazing, it was called Lulu's not only was the food great the restaurant was really cool to look at.  The shops were a lot of fun and we stayed until well after dark.  The girls had a really great time and even enjoyed each other's company, at least a little bit.

Palm Springs for Spring Break!!

As soon as we got home from camping grandma took us away to Palm Springs!  The Hotel is amazing, we even have our own spa.  When we first arrived they gave us the key to the wrong room and we walked in some other families bungalow.  Man was that guy ticked off!  We were a little irritated, but once we got into our room we laughed about it.
