Spring is Here!

Jack had his first art show at school. He was very proud of his masterpieces!

 Aaaaaand this is what happens when you leave Caroline alone with markers while you are at a violin lesson in the other room... :/

 Jack has a favorite basketball player at his school so when the State Tournament shirts arrived it was presented to him by his favorite player.  If you could only see the smile on his face!

 We took the kids to the boys basketball state tournament in Minot this year.  I'm pretty sure the highlight for the girls was the pool!

 

 "Fernie, how do you like the pool?!" 

 

 The kids always look forward to dying Easter eggs.  My parents graciously host the activity at their house!  Fernie was all about the pink and purple eggs. 

 Jack favored the blue and green.

 Caroline took what she was given.  She couldn't figure out why she couldn't drink what was in the cup!

 One of my absolute favorite things to do:  listen to Jack read!

 THE TRAIL!!!!

The Easter bunny was kind enough to stop by and leave three trails this year...They are all anxiously awaiting to start!

 GO!!!!

 

 Dad's Easter basket had a hand-drawn picture by Jack that included all the Detroit sports teams!

 Caroline's first peep!  She liked it!

 Our loves.

 All ready for the egg hunt.  We couldn't have asked for better weather.

 Caroline couldn't find her eggs fast enough. 

 

 

 We always have time for the zoo, especially when it's 70 degrees out.

 Someone loves her Papa very much!

 Our princess/ballerina/basketball player!

Caroline is determined to do whatever the big kids do.  I love Zack's expression and preparedness! 

 

 Caroline loves to hide from me.  I'm pretty sure she thinks I can't see her ;)

 Caroline had to make sure the bed was ready for her baby brother - Approved!

 I guess I should have expected this...Jack and Fernie did it too...

We are awaiting the arrival of our baby boy.  He has decided to take his sweet time to enter this world.  We are all so excited to meet him.  On Friday, Fernie's teacher said she could tell the class about her new brother the following week and Fernie quickly responded "I'm not coming back to school, I'm staying home to help with the baby!"
