Did my party come?

Those were the first words out of Sophie's mouth the morning of her birthday.  We had such a fun day! We were planning on spending the whole day out by the pool but the weather didn't cooperate at first, so we had some inside fun.  Sophie wanted to serve all her friends chinese food..(go figure)lol.  We had to have brownies, Texas caviar and of course a Dora birthday cake. We made it out to the pool and the kids had a great time soaking all the adults and pushing Stephen into the pool.    I can't believe our baby girl is already 4!!

Sophie's 3k graduation

Sophie has been going to 3k two days a week and she absolutely loves it!  It really has helped me out with homeschooling the older three so it was a win win for all.   They had a sweet little end of the year program where the kids sang on the stage.  All the pictures I took inside were way too dark but thankfully we camcorded.  All the kids were dressed in western gear...too cute!

Finger Licking Strawberry Picking

EG has poison ivy!

Happy Easter!!

We had a wonderful Easter! We had 10 children get the Holy Ghost in Sunday School and about 8 were baptized!  Praise the Lord!!

We gave the kids some clues to find their Easter baskets and I thought I would share them.  We give the kids the first clue and it goes from there...can you figure them out?

To find clue number 2 look in a size 11 shoe. 

Do a little jig and look under the pig.

Outside the room where Elizabeth snores is where you will find clue number 4.

Today is the day Jesus arose from the grave, you get spankings with these when you don't behave.

Your favorite tree is where your treasure will be!
