Past Couple of Weeks






OK--I didn't promise I'd be great at posting on this but at least it's better than what you've been getting lately from us! For all of you who thought you'd been taken off of our Christmas card list this year, it wasn't just you. Just another one of those things that didn't get done! So...you can consider this a belated Christmas card picture!!!

Over Spring Break, we spent a couple of days in Branson. The boys had so much fun at Silver Dollar City. They are looking forward to going back again! The one picture is Javan in the Giant Barn Swing...he wasn't too crazy about that one! The faster the better for Jared--unfortunately he's still too small for some of the ones he would love to do. He did get to do his first regular roller coaster--Thunderation--and he loved it and rode it several times--even rode it backward! Joshua's favorite was Fire in the Hole!
Easter/David's Birthday
Saturday we went to mom's and celebrated my great nephew David's 1st Birthday and the kids got to do a little egg hunting!
And by the way, do any of you remember a couple of years ago when my brother Doug got his truck stuck in the lake at Mark's?? Well, he managed to get Mark's tractor stuck in one of the ditches at mom's that day while the guys were cleaning up some fallen trees. Way to go Doug--wouldn't be a family get together without you doing something crazy!

The boys are going to be in my niece Lana's wedding in October--here's a preview of Jared & Joshua in their tuxes!!!




Jumprope for Heart--Javan & Joshua did Jump Rope for Heart in PE this year. They raised enough money to get new jumpropes, shirts a water bottle and some cool magnets. They both won the jump roping competition in each of their classes. While they were practicing at home, Jared was very determined to learn. He practiced A LOT and got pretty good at it. He'll be ready for next year's competition! Here's my first attempt at uploading a video on here, hope it works!

Your boys just get cuter and cuter! I can remember like it was yesterday, taking care of Javan every now and then as a baby. Time flies. What a cute movie of them jumping rope! My guys don't have that down at all! I was out there the other day trying to jump rope and it was quite hilarious! Oh, to have the energy of a kid once again...and be able to eat whatever I wanted!! Happy Spring!
