Summer begins...

Swimming, bubbles, and cousins.

End of school...

Laine finishes up preschool the end of May. She had a little graduation. Very proud of this girl. She was a mentor child at the dysart preschool. There are some children with special needs who attend the school. I was truthfully a bit worried about how she would treat others who weren't like her. There were many times through the year and at her teacher meetings that I was told over and over what a kind heart laine has. She could tell when one of her special friends was having a hard day and would try so hard to help them. I am proud of her and humbled by her sweet 5 year old example of love and kindness. On to kindergarden!

First day-last day amazing how much they grow. Next step 3rd grade!

Really though...

This is me 13 weeks along with number 4. Number 4 get to be the lucky one because they get all the room the others stretched out before. I am huge!

Birthday boy...

Jer turned 31 this year. He got to spend the time up in Utah with is brother and birth dad.

We did however get him back in time to have a yummy dinner and his favorite dessert.

We love him!

Toothless...

Bode's baby teeth are just hanging on for dear life. He is a little bit chicken when it comes to pulling them out. So far 3 have been lost and only one has been pulled by him. The other two were pulled by dad.

One of my instagram photo prompts was blue. I love all of their blue eyes.

Easter

The day before Easter Bode and Laine finally got to have a lemonade stand. 

They have begged and begged for ever. I was glad that lots of people stopped for a cool glass. They made a couple of bucks and were so happy!

Later we dyed easter eggs.

This is not an activity that I am fond of truthfully. It is always such a mess but the kids like it. So I have to hold my breath and hope for no spills.

Easter was spent like this. Piper was a sicky so we stayed home from church.

We did however manage to salvage the day by flying kites in the evening.

Baptism...

Bode was baptised the first Saturday in April. It was a special day for him and us. We are proud of this boy and the decision he made to be baptized.
