2 cheap spray bottles from Hy-Vee = Hours of entertainment!!



Spring-Time Fun!

I am behind on my posts, so thought I would do a "Spring-Time" post to let you all know what we've been up to!

Palm Sunday Weekend -- Made a trip down to KC to see Joe, John, Sarah and families and race in the Trolley Run with Angie and Jolyn.

Easter --- My parents were in town and we went to Josh and Missy's for a BBQ and then had a little Easter brunch at home after church on Sunday. Also, attended a fun Easter egg hunt that Janelle's parents put on every year at their house. Lots of fun and candy for the kids!!

Besides all of that, on a regular day, you will just find us playing outside (Colby playing basketball and Maddy running around with her neighbor friends) or walking to the park. We are loving the sunshine!!! Happy Spring!!!



Maddy playing games on Uncle Joe's Iphone. This was a big highlight for her!

Fun at the Zoo!

Maddy was out of school last Friday, so I took the kids to the DSM zoo for the morning. I think I've said this before, but it was so much fun having Maddy with us -- It reminded me of how much fun we used to have during the week before she started school. We did so many things and were always trying out new "kid places", etc...I am really looking forward to summer so we can just get out and do fun things and not have to worry about a schedule, etc...

Colby loved the zoo also and was so excited as if it were his first time seeing animals up close. We did take him to the zoo last year, but I don't think he remembers, so to him this probably was his first time being there. He was screaming in excitement when he saw the goats sticking their heads out for food, etc..It was really funny. It's so cool to see your kid experience something for the first time and how excited they get about it.

Colby feeding the goat. I tried to get a picture of one of his huge smiles, but couldn't get it!:
