Winter sports and activities have come to an end and we are in this really awesome transition phase waiting for spring activities (basically baseball) to start. And to be honest, I'm soaking up all the "calm" I can, because starting this next week, you'll pretty much always find us at the baseball fields....haha! Mellany will be taking a few dance lessons in the next couple of months and we will really get started on 4H projects too. Not to mention, we are so anxious for sunny and warm weather to be able to be outside more often! Bring on Summer and the end of the school year!!
Here's what we've been up to:
While putting some laundry away one day, I noticed that Johnny had organized his rock collection
Ninja has finished up and now he's ready for baseball!
There is a special savings weekend at Dick's for our baseball program so we took advantage and the boys are loving their new practice equiment!
Cub Scouts finished up as well after the Blue and Gold Ceremony. The boys were given their belt loops and are advancing to the next rank!
There was a cake auction as well and we were the highest bidder for Simon's!
These two took a selfie on their walk to the bus one morning. I love it so much!
As we were prepping for our Spring Break trip, Winston found some sun to soak in
John had to travel one weekend and into the next week, so we sent him a selfie in the line at Starbucks on the way to church. And it actually turned out really good!
Mellany's dance team celebrated their season with a banquet and Mellany was awarded with the "Best Attitude" Award! We couldn't have been more proud!
While helping in Charlie's class one day, we walked to the intermediate building for a special activity and I finally got to see Mellany's name on the plaque for the Citizenship Award she was given last year. I snapped a picture so she could see it too.
I found a couple pictures of Charlie on my phone...ha!
Anytime we leave, this is where you will find Johnny. He is always hugging Winston and telling him goodbye....it is the sweetest!
We headed to KC for a few days over spring break this year and since I was traveling with the kids by myself, I decided to drive a few hours after school got out and stay overnight in a hotel. It worked out great and was nice to have the trip broken up! These three were quite amusing while trying to check in...
Trying to leave the hotel....just waiting on our tween girl!
...and we're off....KC bound!
While in KC we spent an afternoon with Brad and Amiee taking a "Container Class" at a local nursery. Gammy was amazing as always and watched all 7 of our kiddos!! We had so much fun and would love to do it again! Our container turned out so pretty!
While at dad's Teresa let the kids hunt for some eggs....they were so quick, I didn't even make it outside so I only have a couple pictures from other people of that day.
John got to go fishing with my dad, Brad, TJ and Shane and had a really great day! A much better day than the last time he went when they only caught one fish on the most frigid day imaginable! While he was fishing, I got to spend some time with my mom and Amiee and the Jones kiddos.....unfortunately I ended up with zero pictures!
Mellany took the cutest selfie with Quinn while we were at Virginia's, but again, I failed on getting any other pictures!
While heading back home, John and I decided that we needed to take the kids to top golf! I had never been either and the weather was going to be amazing, so we booked it and went the next day! We all loved it so much and can't wait to go again! The lighting isn't real great for pictures but at least I took some!
Then we spent the rest of our spring break weekend opening the chicken coop back up, mowing, landscaping and celebrating Easter! It was so perfect!
