Indoor Soccer

Maddox and Ava played indoor soccer this year. It was really fun. I can see why it is the busiest sport of the year! Don't worry, Ava never actually played with her flip-flops!

Frog Castles

Aunt Carissa, soon-to-be Uncle Tim, and Great-Grandpa Birky came to visit for Easter. Our weekend was filled to the max, to say the least. We helped Grandpa move the chickens to their new home. We piled into the golf cart for some sunny-day strolls. And the kids especially enjoyed making a castle for their toad they found. Maddox was a bit distraught when Mr. Toad decided to leave his new home while we were eating supper. 

This is the toad's "play-room"

Christian wasn't quite as excited about a picture to show off their matching jammies.

He is Risen!

 

Toothless Raking

Ava thought green was a good choice for today!

Kade being such a good helper.

What is missing in this picture?...it's like a puzzle.

Digging to China

Our kids hang out at the neighbor's yard quite often when the weather gets nice. Our neighbors get a big kick out of them. Recently, Kade has been helping Jim dig, something that they call "digging to China"! It was pretty cute watching Kade be very serious as he dug. This is serious business, digging to China.

Randomness

It sleeted/hailed. Thankfully my tulips were fine.

Kade found an old book under our bed. Score!

Brent had to fix the antenna on the roof and decided the take all three kids with him. Not my idea of a good time, but they seemed to like it. Good thing they have a dad so they get to do daring stuff some of the time!

See, I told you it was random.

Lucky Leprechaun

Maddox was in his first road race today! The Leprechaun Chase was a 2K race around the Arboretum in Hesston. He was so excited. He thought he was so cool. And when he and his dad crossed the finish line, he got a gold coin and a picture by the leprechaun. He walked over to me with a big smile on his face and said, "Man, I knew I walked a little so I am a little surprised I got first place!" I had to let him down easy. Sweet, innocent boy.

Kade, you missed daddy. He already passed by you.

Going on their own walk with Grandpa.

Making it to the finish line.

We went on a scavenger hunt following the race. It was fun to have a nice morning outside with the fam.

The two racers.
