Elyse's Spring Concert

Elyse had her preschool's spring production last night and boy did she do an amazing job.  I would really be surprised if she does not go into some sort of theater activity as she appears to have so much fun on stage.  And to top off the night, following the production was an ice cream sandwich social :0) 

Without further ado, Elyse singing her favorite song, "Daniel's in the Lion's Den":

10+ Inches

On Tuesday when the weathermen mentioned we could get over 10 inches of snow Thursday through Friday I thought it was just a mean April Fool's joke.  Unfortunately, they were right.  In fact, it started around five yesterday and by the time we went to bed we already had over four inches.  Thankfully it is suppose to be in the fifties all next week, so here's to hoping this is the last snow of this spring.  I will end this post with pictures of the kids and wise words that were constantly repeated from Kallen while driving home from the gym around 5:30 yesterday, "All done snow, all done snow!"

Stripes

I don't know what it is, but I am a big fan of shirts with stripes.  The funny thing is today just proved that without it even being planned.  Both Caleb and Kallen pick out shirts they would like to wear for the day and then I obviously dress Ian.  While eating lunch I happened to notice they were all in stripes.  So I asked them to sit and take a picture for me, it turned out super good minus Ian not smiling.  Love them so much, both stripes and my boys :o)

The First of Many, I Guarantee It

Can I really say that I think spring has finally arrived?!?  This weekend we had beautiful and sunny 40-60 degree temps.  Without a hesitation we put on our light jackets and headed outside.  Therefore, after we dropped Elyse off at school, the boys wanted nothing more than to play outside on their bikes before the quick showers rolled in. (No worries, they do wear helmets, I just had them take them off for the picture.)

As I went to go put the camera away, Kallen decided to ride his trike and not wait for me.  To his surprise the trike started rolling quickly down the driveway.  He then rolled into the grass and still did not stop until his wheel hit the massive snow-pile/ice-pile.  Bike stopped, Kallen flew over his bars right into it.  Although after wiping his face off he said, "Down Mama, play more outside."  My poor boy got his first outdoor injury this year, and I know it won't be his last.

Grandparent's Day

Elyse has been looking forward to this day for weeks.  That's because today at school was, Grandparent's Day.  The day involved showing Nana around her classroom, meeting her teachers, doing crafts, eating snacks, worshiping, and attending chapel. Well my mom and Elyse must have had a great time because they both left and arrived back home with big smiles on their faces.  

Special thanks to my mom for taking the day off and celebrating Grandparent's Day with Elyse.

My Little Gymnasts

We really need warmer weather so the kids can burn off all their energy outside; but until that day comes it looks like making an indoor gymnastic gym is going to have to do.

Green Hat

Love this picture of Ian in his green hat. I think it is because his eyes look so beautiful!
