Spring Break

Lot's of random pictures from our spring break this year! We've done the park a few times, celebrated birthdays, been to both Auntie's houses, visited Grammy, the Collins' and Nona, and all kinds of other random fun stuff! Will be hard going back to school, but I know summer is right around the corner!

Workin with Daddy

Brian pulled in to the driveway this afternoon and got a call that he had to go back to work. So we all piled in the truck and headed back. The kids love seeing where Dad works and this time they really loved it. I wish I had known that we were going to explore because I would have brought my camera. The trusty cell phone camera pics will have to do, although they are not the best. It's hard to imagine how big all of this equipment really is, until you see the kids in front of it!

All three of the kids had a blast getting in and out of equipment and Daddy even started up the backhoe and let them climb in and help.

Melanie actually did a pretty good job operating it on her own ;o) May just have to skip school and send her straight in to the field LOL

I think the kids could have stayed all day, but since Dad had already been there 10 hours, I think he was ready to get home. Thanks for a great afternoon Daddy!

Graduation from Karate Program

A local Karate studio put on a program for the kids at our school. It was a great opportunity for all involved. The karate studio gave all the proceeds back to our school and we made over $2500. The kids got to learn some fun karate moves and go through a GREAT character development program. And the Karate studio got some good advertising. Would love to keep my kiddos involved, but it would be like adding another monthly car payment to an already tight budget *LOL* If we find a place that's a bit cheaper, we're definitely signing them up because they LOVED it!!
