Ohio & Alaska Family Visit :)

We felt so blessed to have some of our Ohio and Alaska relatives in town for a visit!  We had many fun family gatherings and prayed a lot for my Uncle Tony who was hospitalized while visiting.  We love you all so much and miss you already!!!

Coloring eggs!  :)

The boys LOVED having Ethan here!!!

So blessed to have these sweet aunts and cousins!

Aunt Bev and Uncle Paul were able to make it out to see our new house...almost finished!

Wyatt's Zoo Field Trip! March 27, 2015

Wyatt's 2nd grade class went on a field trip to the Wildlife World Zoo!!!  I was so happy to be chosen as a chaperone!  I took the day off of work and we enjoyed a wonderful day together with our group.  Wyatt's favorite part of the trip was going on the log ride!

Aidan, Chase, Hunter, Wyatt, Brody & Karsten (Wyatt's class has 5th grade buddies...here are Wyatt with his two 2nd grade friends and all of their 5th grade buddies).

Cool stingrays!!!

This one particularly loved Wyatt!!!  :)

Here's my crew!!  Everyone was well behaved and had a GREAT day!

Feeding the giraffes is so FUN!

So excited for the log ride!

Wee!!!!!

AWESOME!!!

We ended the day with treats at the snack bar!  YUM!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Top of the morning to you all!  Over the past week, Wyatt has been thinking about how to trap a leprechaun.  He built a leprechaun trap and put it out last night.  A leprechaun must have come because the trap was tipped over and the little guy got away!  Wyatt was so surprised to get a letter from St. Paddy and he left some goodies for the boys. We hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!!!   
 

St. Paddy left him this cool hat with attached mustache, necklace, and button that says "Kiss me, I'm Irish"!  Check out the size of those big golden chocolate coins!

 

Here's the trap Wyatt left!  St. Paddy tipped the clear container over and got away.  Looks like he ate one of the chocolate coins!  YUM!

 

WOW!  St. Paddy left a trail of pennies behind too!

 


Our tradition is to have a very GREEN breakfast!  Delish!

Green pancakes, eggs, and milk!

Wyatt made this cute little guy at school last week!  Precious!

Spring Break! Castles-n-Coasters!!!

Yesterday was our first day of spring break!  We decided to save some money for our new house and NOT go out of town (we miss you Rocky Point)!  The boys said the one thing they wanted to do over spring break was go to Castles-n-Coasters!  They've both been working so hard in school that we thought we'd reward them and go!  It was a FUN day of go carts, bumper boats, goofy golf, zip lining, etc.! The pictures were taken using my phone, so they're a little fuzzy.

I love this photo taken right after we got soaked on the log ride!

The Patriot ROCKS!

That's Brody and Wyatt on the top level of the rope obstacle course.

Hello up there!

They LOVED zip lining too!

Go Jerry!!!

We ended the day cooling off in the arcade (91 degrees)!

House Update :)

We can't believe how different our house looks in just one week!!!  We're getting so excited!  We've met with a total of 4 pool companies now and are awaiting their bids.  We'd LOVE our pool to be done in time for summer!

Wow!  The ledge rock looks awesome!

We love our cabinets!

This was our meeting spot for the pool guys!

Inside and outside has been painted.

Jerry checking to see if the side is 15 feet wide for his flatbed trailer.

Our house number is up!!  Yippee!!! 

House update!

The new house is coming along well.  These pictures are from last week.  We're heading out again today to see what's new.  We'll be meeting with 3 different pool companies and getting bids today.  We can't wait to have a pool for the HOT summer!!!

The stucco is done!

The drywall is done!

This backyard needs a pool!  :)

WYATT'S FIELD DAY!!!

Wyatt had so much fun during his classes 2nd grade field day last week!  I wasn't able to stay for the whole time, but I did catch part of his morning outside.  Wyatt said his favorite activity was bowling!  Go Super Monkeys!!!

Go Wy Wy!

Nice jump!
