Evan's 1st Haircut

Today, May 2nd, Evan got his haircut.  Kelsey and I both made new friends through her preschool.  Kelsey's friend is Madeleine and mine is her mom, Holli.  Holli is a hairdresser and super sweet.  She came to our house today to cut my hair and ended up trimming Evan's as well. He had a lot of uneven hair and I figured it would be better for Holli to do it than for me to try.  Best idea ever!!  Holli was great and it looks very cute.  Thanks Holli!  It also helps if you have battery in your camera for these moments.  Not much video due to that.  Sorry!
Evan also got into the Kentucky Derby.  He watched and commentated through the whole thing on his own horse, Charlie. Enjoy that video at the end.

Visiting Daddy at Work

On April 13th Granpa took the kids to visit Mark at work.  They had lunch with him, took a few phone calls, answered some emails and then left to go to a park nearby.

Kelsey's Art Show

Kelsey's preschool had an art show where the kids chose the price to sell their art work. She priced her stop light at $50.  Other prices ranged from a watermelon, $3.00, all the money in mommy's purse, to $4,200. It was cute. I enjoyed talking with the other mothers.

Owen's Baptism

Mark and I were honored to be asked to Owen's godparents.  His baptism was Sunday, April 12th.   God's blessings to Owen, Meghan, and Dan!

Visit from Florida

Our family in Florida came up to visit during their Spring Break. The main reason for their visit was to meet cousin Karson, Aunt Jenelle's nephew, but we got to spend some time with them too.  It was so fun to see the boys together and the three girls got along very well.  They even all slept in the same room together!
Thanks Aunt Tammie for the Christmas jammies and for the wonderful cake for Joan's birthday.  All of the kids helped Tammie make it.  Loads of fun with the 5 kids!!!!

Happy Easter

Easter baskets were found on the kitchen table Sunday morning. Kelsey compared everything from hers to Kristen's.  She even figured out the Easter bunny goes to the Dollar Store when she saw her Anna washcloth. Can't get much by her.  We went to a children's service, had a second breakfast, and then played on the playground. The Replogle's had to get back to North Carolina for work and school on Monday so we went to the Simon's house for dinner.  There were two other kids at dinner, Amelia (turning 2 on April 28th if you can believe that, and RJ, 18 months.)

 Happy Birthday Aunt Jari!!!!!!

 Grandpa played the piano for us and then the kids had a turn.  Kelsey's ready for lessons Grandpa!

Replogle Visit

Replogle's came up from North Carolina to celebrate Easter.  They stayed with us so the cousins could have more time together.  Our family fun time started on Friday, April 3rd. We celebrated Kristen's 3rd birthday. 

 Lego Fun!!!

On Saturday we took the kids to an egg hunt with crafts and storytime at a local church and then went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Easter dinner.
