Easter

Avery greeted me at the door on Easter morning as I returned home from work and fretfully informed me that the Easter Bunny had not delivered. I handed her the letter I had found taped to the door. According to the letter, rather than hiding eggs this year, E. Bunny, had hidden their baskets instead. He included their first clue, and they were off.




The kids took turns reading the clues and seeking out the next one. Eventually they found their way to the basement where the baskets had been laid out. Happy Easter!

Pinewood Derby

Please do not get me started on the inequality in our church in regards to girls and boys activities. That said, here are pictures from the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby. This was Logan's first, he named his car "Pitch Black".



Brent and I felt that it was unfair for only the boys to do the Pinewood Derby, so our girls made a car too and they raced it against Logan's after the derby was over. Logan won.

Baby Logan turns 9

When we were shopping for his sisters' presents Logan spotted this football and Brent went back to the store for it. They've had so much fun playing catch.


Clothes, yeah he's so excited!


I asked Logan what kind of a cake he wanted for his birthday. Because we'd just had so much fun decorating pinewood derby cars he said "Flames". I did the best I could.

Avery's 7!

My Avery loves her Hello Kitty gear.


New sheets, not very fun, but her princess sheets were so faded and these look really cute on her bed.



My Ellie really knows how to dress for a party!

Ellie's 5th Birthday

We didn't do a big party for birthdays this year. Every child chose what we would have for dinner and dessert that night and we just celebrated as a family.

Opening presents.




For every grandchild's 5th birthday Grandma Hart makes a special birthday quilt. This was Ellie's.
