I'm back...

It's been about a month since I've posted...so below are about 4 or so new posts all of which happened in April. Fun reading...

Family Retreat

We had a great time at the family retreat! Since Devan had a baseball game Friday, Summer rode with the kids and me and we followed Clint and the boys. What sweet friends. We stopped about halfway at a WalMart and then Brinton and Lucy saw the movie in the Bests' car and that was all it took (Clint let them ride with him!!!!!!!) So that left just me and Summer and Macy! Wow, what a guy:) Many people helped watch my kids that evening while I got out room ready and unloaded. Kat took care of Lucy for a long time...It's so good having help! The rest of the time the kids played in the huge sandbox, the water and had a canoe ride Sunday before we left. The kids were pretty well-behaved and Macy was easy most of the time (a few cries here and there). We had fun with all of our friends - maybe when we're older it'll be easier to carry on a conversation since we won't be chasing all our kids...

Easter

My mom came on Easter weekend and we had tons of fun! We (my mom and I) went shopping. She let the kids hide the eggs in the house and then they'd find them (they did this too many times to count). They loved it and we're still finding eggs... Mimi also brought outfits for the kids to wear Sunday and they were too cute. Thanks!

Dying eggs

Look at us!

Look at me!

We went to the Roach's (Melissa's parents) after worship on Sunday. They love all of them so much and they are so good to our kids (and us:) They had lots of fun and especially cracking confetti eggs on people's heads...

Kite flying - Whee

(more)Easter at Children's Ark

Lucy and Brinton had their Easter parties at school, so I went up and took some pictures. They really love going to school and being with their friends...

(even more) Easter at the Jackson's

We had a great time at the Jackson's Easter party! The kids loved hunting eggs and playing with their friends. Brinton even got on the jump and bounce thing - he had tried it before at fall festival and would only sit on the edge - but he was actually jumping and sliding...I was shocked. They were sweaty, tired and wiped out at the end of the evening...

Lucy kept putting the eggs in another boy's basket!

Hard to see - but Brinton sliding

Bubbles!
