Trying to keep up!

Because I do not want to get behind this is my quick picture updates from April!

We had an awesome Easter and a GREAT SPRING BREAK!!!

One day Kenzie and I went with my Cousins and their little girls to Betty Brinn for the day!  It was a blast to see Kenzie playing with other girls.  We had a great day!

Kenzie, Kendall and Emma riding a Harley!

Kenzie working at the bank!

Being off of school can also be exhausting!!  What a cute nap to walk in on.
Kenzie and Clayton

We also took our first trip over to Stocky's indoor go-karts.  I am sure we will be doing that again.  It was a blast for the kids and for us adults!!!
Cameron, Calvin, Kenzie and Clayton

One day we took the little kids bowling and this was exhausting for little Kenzie so after one game she wanted to be done and proceeded to lay down on the chairs in back and fall asleep.  The other kids thought it would be funny to pretend they were sleeping to. 

For even more excitement that week we set the tent up in the basement and had our own little camp out. 

We also went to a really cute little program at the Library and then took a trip over to Jim's for some ice cream.  The cone's are almost bigger then the kids.  FUN and YUMMY. I am sure we will be going there this summer.


 So that was our Easter Break.  I am actually tired just writing about the things we did.  No wonder we are running all the time!!!

I am also teaching the kids to cook so that some day they can be the ones making dinner.  Here are the little ones making banana bread and banana muffins.  Yummy again!


Last week we attended our first Brewer game of the year.  They won and it was a great game.  They kids were all very good even with it being a night game.  They made it through the whole game and the twins are  are starting to pay attention to all the stats, just like Cameron does.  Clayton loves to count the K's (strike outs).  Kenzie's favorite is of course Bernie coming down the slide.  I am sure we will be doing more of them this year as it was a really fun night!

Now off to bed.  Hopefully I will be back SOON!

OK - I AM COMING BACK

After a couple recent requests I decided it was time to get back to the blog world.  I have a new camera - so that is no excuse anymore.  I take a lot of photos too.  I will try to be back in the blog world if you try and tolerate my rambling!!!    So the catch up since December.  Let's see....  January, February, and March we WRESTLED.  That was pretty much it!!!! This weekend was the final tournament of the season and now I am wrestled out for this year. This year we decided to let the twins try out some wrestling tournaments. They were loving it so they actually did quite a few. Cameron actually wrestled pretty much one tournament every weekend since January. I will update the stats on all the boys once I sit down and get them all sorted out. The jest of their year was ups and downs. They had some really great matches and some not so great. The life of a wrestler I guess.


I am sure we did lots of other fun stuff over the months as we usually do find time for that too but I am too tired tonight to remember it all. We did have a SUPER spring break. I took the whole week off of work and hung out at home with the kids and did a couple fun things. One day Betty Brinn trip with Kenzie and my cousins and their girls. Stocky's Go-Kart track. Tenting out in the basement, some good movies and games, Library kids show and out for ice cream, dance party in the living room. On top of all these fun things I have been working very hard to get rid of some of my JUNK. I struggle to part with things sometimes so I am trying hard to get things out. I am out of room and have way to many things. My sister is having a rummage next week so I am getting things ready for that.


I will share a couple wrestling photos and then be done for tonight I will be hope to be back VERY soon.
