Spring Break

It just so happened that Kirk had to go up to Montana, to finalize some training they are planning, the week of spring break. Lucky for us this means they paid for all travel expenses plus about $50 a day, so we all packed up and we visited family at the same time. We were able to celebrate Easter up there which was a special treat for the kids.

Evan and Hunter coloring Easter eggs.

Look at those pretty colors!!

We had a couple of doggy playdates for Tucker. Here is Rachel, my brothers dog. Look at the size of that thing!!

Here is Sparky...another doggy playdate.

The big Easter egg hunt. We always put our loose change in the eggs instead of candy and then one of the eggs has a dollar bill in it. Evan got it this year! The little boy in the blue shirt is my nephew Brayden.

All dressed up for church on Easter. I was disappointed this turned out so dark.

Kirk and I

After having a friend of the family die from injuries sustained from an ATV, I am not a fan, but boys will be boys. Josh and Kirk rode this to a friends house and Josh screamed when the ride was over. I am in trouble!!!

Luckily there are no child labor laws in Montana.

We put the kids to work stacking wood.

We didn't even give them gloves! :)

My big shot

Evan only fell in the pond twice and Josh only hurt one finger, so the trip was a success. We are excited to go back in July!!!

The newest member...

of our family. My newest little nephew, Alex, was born just a few days before we went to Montana. It was great getting to meet the little guy. He was the sweetest, cuddliest baby ever!! And look at all that hair.....

DIY

I came across a cute idea a few weeks ago on a friends blog. You make little pictures using scrapbook paper, foam board, and modge podge. I think they turned out super cute, but not very durable. After a few days the kids knocked them down and someone (probably Tucker) ripped the paper off of them. They were cute while they lasted though!!!

These were in Alison's room. She picked out the papers.

These are the boys. I loved the Army one. It was my favorite that I did. I may have to recreate this on a canvas so that it is more durable. They were fun to do and I now have a fun craft idea for when the kids get older.

My little Popper!!!!

Evan has a very unique style of dancing. I think he is going to be our b-boy! This was our third take at this so he is a little burnt out and isn't giving it his all, but check it out....
