And the rest of April...

BALL PRACTICE!!! 

FUTURE CAREER DAY!  (Pioneer Worker/Farmer/John Deere Guy) (Surprise surprise...)

Another picture from the concert...

Bedtime snuggles/wrestling...

This was leftover macaroni for breakfast....you know it's getting close to the end of the year when...you FINALLY let them have macaroni for breakfast.  :)

These snuggle-bugs....make my heart melt. 

Drinking milk out of her cereal bowl.  It's a necessary talent in our house. 

MORE ART.

And even though Jerry is down...Cows get worked!  Janie, Uncle Johnny, Jay and Jed got 'er done!

Oh, and Jace got to help a LITTLE bit.  They were MUDDDDDDDY after that day!

Introducing....Mighty Max

Max Ryan FINALLY made his arrival on April 20.

Proud Uncle Jed.

Cooperative  Cousins...Connor is 2 1/2, Jace 6, Brook is almost 10 months.

Oh, and Max is about 10 hours old.

There is just SO much LOVE in this picture.  We LOVE our nieces and nephews and it is so exciting to gain another one!

Jace is so sweet in these pictures....

The kids were so excited, but a little cautious to meet their new cousin.

But it's so easy to snuggle up to Uncle Jay.  :) Family is the best.

April Brings....

Planting.

(Yes...Jace is wearing his bicycle helmet checking for plant growth.  Safety first.  OSHA approved.)

Jace is still doing lots of fun art at school.

This girl is cracking us up.  As in being a "Jim Dandy"....Jed started calling her that one night and she HATED it.  So then I tried to come up with something for her to call him and all I could get was "Buffalo Bob".  And it stuck.  Wow.

We are putting the high chair away and moving into the booster seat at the table.

*Edit.  We brought the high chair back out for Brook one day and it has stayed out....

These two are still pretend-twins....with a love-hate relationship...

And these kids were out cruising the neighborhood.

(Notice Cassidy is missing?  She is not allowed at my house without her own supervision.  I thought Kyler was bad....but this one takes the cake!  Oh, and she takes the scissors, the tape, the bag of chips all over the floor.....)

John's Market has these carts the kids fight over...but they are pretty cute!

Spring Cowboy-Concert!  They all got to dress Western, and it was a really great concert!  Even got some proof that they all sang, participated, and even Colton was singing!

Also in April, Jed attended the wedding of "Q" and "U" at school.

He is reading ALL OVER THE PLACE.  It is amazing.  Just like overnight, he is doing so great!

Another baby shower for Morgan!  Connor didn't get the memo to wear blue.  :)

And, the hired help.....
