Spring break to now

We had a pretty fun spring break!

B Boy had play dates on Monday and Tuesday so we got to spend some one-on-one time with our girlie!

B Boy got to visit a farm!

We decided to take advantage of the great weather and camp in the back yard!

We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows!

We had to come in at 3:30 am because we saw some lightening. Boo.

We took the kids to see Cinderella - We loved it!!! (I loved it a ton!)

 B Boy finished up the entire Harry Potter series. I loved when he would laugh while reading and he always had to talk about what was happening in the books!

 C Girl got to have a play date too with a sweet friend!

We took advantage of the beautiful weather!!!

 We went to visit my family one day and had a wonderful time!

I love getting to see these two little guys!

 B Boy has been having a blast playing baseball - his first game is this weekend!

What a beautiful sunrise I witnessed!

 I have been busy changing the kid's clothes over for the new season. It is always very time consuming!

 I ate lunch with friends yesterday to celebrate our friend, Laurie's birthday! I'm so thankful for her friendship and for her and her husband to be our Sunday school teachers!

 I bought these beautiful flowers today at Walmart - I just wanted a little happy in the kitchen!

B Boy FINALLY had his first soccer practice tonight!!!! Except it is actually a game because we are so far into the season. Tim just texted and said the B Boy just scored!!! Woo Hoo!

I'm sad to be missing, but I had to do some things tonight with C Girl.

Fishing, creeking, & camping

We are so glad to finally have Daddy home for vacation!

Our first item on the agenda was to go fishing.

Tim absolutely loves to fish.

He's still trying to teach the kids!

They really do enjoy it though!

We went to Lake Atalanta in Rogers.  

We saw catfish, bass and blue gill and caught some blue gill.

We saw geese, ducks, scissor-tail flycatchers and other random birds too.

It was very peaceful early in the morning.

(side note- C has finally learned to put her own hair in a pony tail really good!  Yay!)

We fished for 3 1/2 hours!

We were starving so we headed downtown and ate at Lucy's Diner.

It was SO GOOD.

Tim had hamburger steak and I had breakfast (pancakes, eggs & bacon).

I love good old fashioned cooking!

There is a playground and a nice creek at Lake Atalanta.

We headed back to let the kids play in the creek for awhile.

They had a blast exploring and splashing!

We came home and all took naps.

And we decided to camp in the backyard!

And have a fire with roasted marshmallows and s'mores!

RIP chocolate Easter bunny.

The kids had so much fun.

I love watching them make memories!

 Our air mattress lost half of it's air during the night and the birds are SUPER loud first thing in the morning, but Tim made pancakes with fresh strawberries on top and coffee!
