Riley's 1st soccer game!

I love that even though I am homeschooling the kids they are allowed to still paricipate in the local school sports. This is Riley's first year playing soccer and she seems to be enjoying it. We pulled into the field for her first game this past weekend and she was pretty thrilled. Even more excited that Papa and Nani were coming up, bright and early, to watch her play! At half time she ran over to us and said, "Mom, my team all thinks we're getting creamed :)". They were! BUT, that didn't stop them from having fun. She was THAT girl playing defense doing twrills in the back field and playing with her hair, taking it out of the ponytail, but she did well!

Lincoln loves sports and food!

Lincoln has been doing a sports sampler class the past couple of months. It "teaches" the kids to play a variety of different sports. I love that he got a chance to play and learn about a bunch of different activities. I look forward to see what he gets into when he's older! His favorite sport they played was the "running week" and he loved rock climbing. He missed playing soccer because he was sick, but I think he would have loved that too.

Disney On Ice!

We had a great opportunity to take the kids on a special date to see Disney on Ice! We had a blast and I highly reccommend it. The three older kids had a blast and absolutely loved the show. We look forward to going again!!

Fred Meijer Butterfly Garden

Every year the Fred Meijer Garden has a butterfly garden exhibit and we were excited to go see them this year. Our new friends, Jen and Scott, met us there with their kids and we had a great time. It was fun to see all the butterflies flying and watching them come out of their cocoons.

 

 

Easter 2013

Our Easter, this year, was very low key. We were looking forward to a day filled with church and family as we celebrated the death and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. But instead Emmersyn and I both got sick the night before Easter. We were bummed our plans were cancelled, but we did manage to get in Easter egg coloring and a hunt before we got sick. Ty took the older kids to church in the morning while E and I stayed in bed. I was so bummed because I had matching outfits for all the kids, but there's always next year :)!
