It's been awhile...

Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since my last post. These past few weeks have been so busy-in a good way. Between spring break & family in town I haven't taken the time to update. But here ya go:

As you know from a few posts ago- Averee has turned 5. We got her a scooter for her birthday-she has wanted a 2 wheel scooter for awhile & she loves it! Luckily, Adee is content with Ave's old scooter. The weather has been great & we have gotten a lot of walks in lately. The girls are getting so good at scootin'...

remember when we didn't even bother to wear shoes let alone safety gear?

One of Averee's birthday presents was some sidewalk paint-she couldn't wait to use it! Knowing what a mess it would make I was a little hesitant to get it out-but I finally caved in. They had a ton of fun-but what a mess! I think the pictures speak for themselves...

Owen REALLY enjoyed the sidewalk paints

The package said 'non-toxic', but EEEWWWW!

Averee lost interest in the paint pretty quick so she stayed pretty clean, Adee had it mostly on her hands & feet, but Owen (as you can see) had it EVERYWHERE! He had quite the colorful fro when he was done :0)

During the week of Spring Break, my Grandma Funk (yes, that is her REAL name) was down from Richfield to visit & staying at my parents house. We had them all over for FHE & the girls loved having Grandma Funk there. We love you grandma Funk! Of course we had to roast Smores-our favorite past time lately...

I am so glad my kids love Smores as much as I do!

We had a great Easter weekend full of fun & family. Saturday morning the kids had fun discovering their Easter baskets & that the Easter Bunny ate all the carrots that we left out for him! :0) Later we met my mom at the park for lunch & played in the beautiful weather. Then that night we got to see my nephew Beau recieve his Eagle Scout award-AWESOME! Way to go BEAU! Then we went to their house for the rest of the Easter festivities-mainly the egg hunt. The girls got even more candy & had fun chasing with their cousins looking for eggs. Owen was content with a piece of candy and room to run! What fun!

Averee & Adelyn got lanterns & magic wands from the Easter BunnyOwen got a racecar from the Easter Bunny-but of course he just wanted to play with the grass!

Just give a boy a ball...

Owen did stop running around long enough to find a couple eggs-thanks daddy!

Here are the girls with their Easter loot-yum!

Well, I think that about does it for the update of the last few weeks. I hope you all had a great Easter as well!
