Playing Outside

Spring has finally showed up this year and it has been so nice to get outside and play with the kiddos when we get home. Bryce is playing t-ball this year and he loves playing at home. Blaine has really got an interest in it as well.  During Bryce's very first practice he got hit in the face with a ball and ended up at the ER. Luckily nothing was broken and he was back at it two nights later at his second practice. He's one tough little boy!

 Blaine loves to be just like Bryce.

These videos were taken a month ago when they were so anxious to get outside. Bryce had the idea of putting on their swim suits and of course Blaine followed along. 

Bryce's First Time Roller Skating

ROWVA PTO sponsored a skating party a few months ago and Shane and I took Bryce for the afternoon. It was Bryce's first time skating as well as daddy's first time. Mommy hadn't been skating since her days in 4-H so it was quite entertaining. We all had a great time and it didn't take us long to get worn out!

Young Author's Night

Last Thursday we attended "Young Author's Night" at Bryce's school. He was so excited to show us his narrative that he wrote which was about working on the farm during harvest time. Of course it was about something farm related! The top three authors in each grade level got a medal and the top author got their story read aloud while they got to sit in a special chair. We had received an email ahead of time from his teacher to tell us that he will win a special award but to keep it a secret from him. He ended up getting second place out of the two Kindergarten classes, which I thought was awesome. We are so proud of him!

Easter

Easter morning started with an egg hunt around the house just like last year. The boys had so much fun following the clues around the house, and Ali Kay even had fun trying to keep up. Here are the clues that they had to follow. It started with a big yellow egg that was on the couch when they walked down the stairs. Inside the egg the clue read: Hippity, hoppity! The Easter Bunny's been here. Let's go on a hunt to find your baskets this year. The hunt is on and it's time to dash. The first clue is where you recycle the trash.

2. By golly gee and golly gosh. This is where you go to get washed.
3. You're doing great by following the rules. The next clue is with your tools.
4. You're doing so well. I hope you won't tire. The next clue is where daddy builds a fire.
5. Read the next clue and take a moment to think. Go to the place where you get a cold drink.
6. A surprise in is store, something special to keep. You'll find the next clue where daddy goes to sleep. (They both ran to his recliner :) but it was under his pillow).
7. It might be more tricky now, be sure not to rush. The next clue is next to your toothbrush.
8. Is that all the clues? Oh no, it's not. Check the place where the dishes get hot.
9. The next one is tricky, in a table that's filled with lots of farm toys to build.
10. You're doing great, now let's find more. You'll find me in a kitchen drawer.
11. Are you getting hungry? It's time to eat. Pancakes for breakfast is such a treat.
12. I'm snuggly here in mommy's bed. Look under where she lays her head.
13. Well done, that's great! You're nearly there. The last clue is hiding where mommy does her hair.
14. Your very last clue, try not to peep. I'm feeling quite tired, it's time to go to sleep.
Happy Easter Blaine! Go downstairs and see if there are any jellybeans hiding in all the eggs the color green!
Happy Easter Bryce! There's one more thing for you to do. Go downstairs and find all the eggs the color blue!

 The boys had the cutest little outfits on but only one wanted their picture taken.

 Ali Kay already kicked off her shoes and we had only been to church for a few minutes!

 It was actually snowing when the kids were hunting eggs at Aunt Diane's house, and it was so cold!
