T-Ball

Go Kate!

Kate did great her first year in T-Ball. Kate was our first to play T-Ball and didn't get much coaching before hand but no worries she got the hang of it quick!

ToothFairy Alert!

The first tooth finally came out. Kate has been waiting for this day to come and was thrilled when Daddy wiggled it around and then was holding it his hand. Kate had a look of disbelief that turned into a great big grin.

New Neighbors

We had a new family move in our backyard. A family of Falcons have been living in the trees behind us and hanging out on the fence just feet away from our house. We realized they were there when they kept running into our windows. We would here a big bang, look out the window and the baby bird (on the right) would run into 5 different windows in the back and then around the side windows too. We think it could see itself in the tinted window. One day I came home and it was sitting on my wreath on the front door. We have loved our new neighbors because they keep the unwanted mice neighbors away :)!

Easter Traditions

Every Easter is busy with coloring eggs....finding Easter baskets....getting beautiful in new Easter clothes for church....and of course the Easter egg hunt that goes on forever because Grammy feels to many Easter eggs :).

Planting Our First Garden

Since we don't have a lot of yard for a garden we planted our first garden at Grumpy's. (Grandpa Hansen)

We have been eating a lot more vegetables these days and drinking a lot of green smoothies. We decided it was time to try and grow some of our own since the grocery bill seems to be getting bigger and bigger. The kids were so excited to help out!

Daddy and Hazen Had a Birthday!

For Daddy's birthday we had the Nielsen's out. Casey wanted them all to come over and celebrate since they are such a big part of who he is today.

Turning Four

Jace had his fourth birthday and we celebrated all weekend. Friday we went to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa. Saturday we took Jace to the movie "Rango", but ended up leaving because it wasn't a good movie for the kids. The day got better when we went to Kenzie's surprise 18th Princess party. Jace couldn't have been more happy and probably thought the party was for him as he ran around in his knight costume getting much liked attention. Sunday we had my family all come down for cake and ice cream. Jace's favorite thing was being sung HAPPY BIRTHDAY too. The week before and after his birthday he kept saying Hap Birday Me! It was so cute but we finally had to tell him his birthday is over. Another year older and in the last few months Jace has shown a lot of improvement in his speech.

This was also my first attempt to make a good but healthy cake. It was just Ok... needs more work I think. :)
