Bring on Spring!

Wow, what a week - planting, egg hunting, and art! The weather seems to have gotten warm again...for now and we are loving it! Below is Riley working at the Ronald McDonald House with her fellow Daisy's. She has officially been slated to help with mulch next week! The girls helped create this beautiful planter - great job kiddos!!
In the early fall, we received a note home that Riley's Sock Eyed Salmon would be in the county wide Arts and Science Festival, which was held this past weekend. Below is her work:


Kyle started soccer and loves it just as much as he did last fall! And the shirts are his favorite color this year, jail-house Orange!!



Today was our 3rd annual Grace Easter Egg Hunt. We had a BEAUTIFUL day and about 70 kids. Since Kyle is now over napping, I now had Eric and the kids for set up and clean up duty! I love my bunch!! Overall, the hunt was a great success including face painting, tattoos, desserts, and family pix!


Kyle, Nate, and Izzy playing - I see trouble with these three for years to come!
Historically, Riley has NOT been a fan of face painting - however after giving it a shot last October fest with one of her buddies, now she is Down with face painting - well, painting all over!
We made the big kids hunt more challenging by hiding the eggs in the woods and making the kids find a eggs with individual letters on them spelling EASTER.
Happy Spring!
