Zoo

Jons been working hard recently so he decided to take a day off work and we headed to the zoo.

This was our first trip there with out a stroller.  We were all able to ride the tram together hassle free! It was pretty nice.

They did great.  Well, mostly Zach.  The rest need more time outside and less time playing Minecraft.

The only sad part was the giraffe area is being worked on so those were the only animals we didn't get to see.  Other than that, it was a cold, but fun morning.

Wordless Wednesday: Comfy dog

Tap queen

Corrie had a tap dance recital on Friday.  She did awesome, of course.  Ben did a great job of announcing every song we were about to hear.  Sam was awesome at staying awake. Ellie and Zach took time away from annoying each other to have some fun and enjoy the music! 

Pj's

Its that time again.  Its getting warmer and the kids were in need to new pj's.  Zach just had to have Mater and Ellie was so excited to see pj's that look like a dress.

Jungle Book

Ben and I went back to LCCC on Tuesday to check out a performance of the Jungle Book.  He's currently reading the book so I thought this would be a great school field trip.  It was geared toward an early elementary school audience so it was short.  Ben was a little disappointed they left a lot of details out, but he still enjoyed the show.
I thought it was much more tolerable than Curious George, but when they incorporated some moves from "Thriller" into their jungle dance, they lost me!

Wordless Wednesday: Its not that cold in here!

Weirdo

I just don't understand this kid!

The boys

Happy Easter

The kids have been looking forward to Easter and the day didn't disappoint.  We colored a few eggs last night before bed.  They woke up this morning to a basket of candy, bubbles and a game.  We celebrated the day at church and Ben took his first communion.  

We had an amazing lunch made by Gram and dad and then headed outside for Grams Easter egg hunt.  They made me proud by sharing eggs with dad and letting each other have the eggs which were their favorite colors.

After the hunt, I realized just how much candy we accumulated in 1 day from us and the grandparents. Its kind of ridiculous.  I think we'll be sharing some of our goodies.

We ended the day with some play time outside with friends.  Zach was all about pushing his new bunny in the swing.  He's such a sweetie!

Happy Easter!

Wordless Wednesday: Sometimes they play nice!
