April was a busy month for us! So it's probably easiest to just get right to the pictures.....
I have loved the days when Mellany comes to school with me. I have to be in the building at 8:00 but school doesn't start until 9:30. There are some days when she prefers that John drop her off closer to start time if he can, but then there are days when she likes coming with me and working on her homework. I especially love those days. On this particular morning, we felt the need for Starbucks. When she saw the green cake pop on the menu, she had to have it. And I'm a softie and couldn't say no. :)
We watched the space shuttle launch on tv!
They initiated a selfie after Easter Saturday service all on their own!! LOVE!!!!
For Easter dinner, we had the Okos' over and tried out a new egg hunt which was a huge hit! They found eggs in the yard with letters in them that they had to run back to the table and match up with the prize. Once they completed a word, they got that prize. It was so fun!
Winston in his usual spot!
The boys love when it gets warmer outside so they can hang on the rock while waiting for the bus.
Johnny tried something new this spring and decided to play soccer. He had really enjoyed it and is planning to play again in the fall.
Mellany ran track again this spring and had so much fun. She ran hurdles, the 100m dash and long jump. She made it to the conference meet in long jump and set her PR there! It was a great season.
It was also a big month for Mel as she got her braces off!!!!! She was so happy!
I am still at work when the boys get off the bus, so if they decide to get off the bus at home (as opposed to getting off at school) they send me a selfie to tell me they are walking home. It's a favorite part of my day!
The 8th Grade Band Trip to Chicago took place mid-April and was a jam-packed two days of fun! I got to be a chaperone and was so impressed with these 8th grade kids....they were phenomenal! We took a super nice bus, went to see the infamous bean, ventured to Navy Pier, the aquarium, Midievel Times and listen to a Big Band. We even had time to explore a mall.
During track season, you never know what the weather is gonna be....it was super hot before we left and then got chilly at the track meet.
Administrative Professionals Day had a whole new meaning this year! I was showered with so many kind words and gifts it was unreal!
Johnny decided to expand his flock and Charlie even joined in on the fun too!
Another track meet....this one was hot...and we baked in the sun
Three girls excited for a sleepover after the track meet.
Winston loves a good stack of blankets or clean clothes.
Our hardworking man ....we ended up pulling into the neighborhood behind him after he had cut down some limbs at the front of the neighborhood. I love his heart for having a good looking neighborhood.
We picked dairy cows for 4H and are so excited for the season!
During Johnny's soccer practice, John and I decided to hit a trail and take a nice long walk.
Johnny got to hang out at his favorite place (other than home) before soccer practice.
Charlie has loved archery for 4H and is a pretty good shot too.
Chicks are getting so big!
So many fun things and it only gets more exciting as we get into May!!
