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.....

Marchin' through March....

Besides Easter and birthdays, March was filled with...

Dr. Suess day at school--2nd graders read to Kindergarteners!


Getting ready for Morgan's baby shower...the kids helped me make "trail mix"...



And co-hosting Morgan's baby shower at Jena's house!




"Leave your advice for the mommy-to-be and her Little Deer"


"Scent Wafer" cookies, "Trail Mix", "Chocolate Moose Cups", "Bear-y Sweet Fruit", "Veggie Food Plot", "OH Deer! Chicken Pinwheels", and "Smokie the Bear's Lil' Smokies"were on the menu.  (Thank you Pinterest....)



Also in March, Connor started gymnastics, and Jace started Ninja Class....thinking that Jed's never home this time of year (or any time of year...) so why not find something to do..then Jerry goes and has open-heart surgery and Jed takes off work for a couple months to help more on the farm and whatdoyaknow...Jed is home a little more.  Geez.  It's been fun, the kids love it!  Connor is kind of hit or miss on cooperating...but so is everyone else in the class...


Little fun run on our road...Jace is getting good on his bike!  Angus tries to keep up!


I think we are sitting at the field, having a snack and watching a movie here...


The kids sure love helping with yard work!


Jace had a check up at Children's Mercy, so of course we drive by Cabela's while we are down there!




And catching up on Jace's artwork from school...it looks like he is always so busy!





And some of Connor's art from Barb's!


And last but not least...MUDDY PUDDLES!!!

Easter Afternoon....

We got to celebrate Easter with Brook and the rest of the Johnsons!






The kids get really good at Easter Egg hunting by the end of the weekend!

Easter!!

Easter comes early for us.  As in, 6:30 sunrise church.  Luckily they serve breakfast afterwards...






Pretty happy for early in the morning!



Easter was C-O-L-D.  So, we egg hunt in hats and gloves!
