We are the proud new owners of our very own camper as of yesterday. Gone are the really fun days of tenting with three young children. We are all so very excited to get to try it out soon. The kids have already picked their beds, of course. It has four beds (two made from two tables), a sink, a stove, and an ice box. Yay!!
Jenn had an “oops” not too long ago. We had a leaking pipe that was causing water to drip all over our basement bathroom. However, the problem only happened when we drained the upstairs bathroom after a bath. Before we could get it fixed, we had been giving the kids showers, but when Bryce couldn’t push the shower nob down, Jenn came to the rescue. Unfortunately, her muscles are just so huge that instead of pushing the little nob down, she pushed the whole faucet head off. Bryce thougth this was great since the water came shooting straight out of the wall. :0) Well, that meant we had to give Cambria a somewhat old fashioned bath in the kitchen sink. She wasn’t too sure about this, but it turned out okay.
Bryce had his elementary program last week and the theme was, “How does your garden grow?” The first graders got to be the gardeners. To complete the outfit, Bryce lost a tooth one hour before show time! Too bad it was a bottom tooth and not a top one. Hee Hee
On April 20th, Abbi turned the big “4”! What a big girl she is getting to be. For about the last 5 months or so, she’s been telling people that she was four already, so I’m sure it was a little confusing to her to be turning 4 “again”.
The only Bunnies we celebrated with on Easter were the ones we ate ;-). Oh, and aren’t we a beautiful hue of ‘azure’.
That’s my (Jenn) nickname for my best friend from high school–Brett. I was surprised a few weeks ago with a wonderful phone call from her. “I’m getting married!!” Yeah! So off to Halliday I went (by myself, no kids!) and enjoyed two days with Brett, preparing for the big day. She looked so beautiful!! Congratulations girl!
Usually when we say prayers with the kids they tend to be the same so that it is easy for them to learn how we pray. Abbi has decided to add her own little prayer to all her prayers–whether it is for supper, KIDS church, or before bed. Her prayer is “for my lotsa grandmas and lotsa grandpas”. AMEN
According to Rick, it was “snowing snowballs” this last weekend. Here are some pictures to prove it. It was quite beautiful.
Yes, it is Rick’s birthday today. 29 years old. He of course reminded me that he will never be as old as me–thanks Rick, so sweet of you to say. Older and wiser, older and wiser…that’s all I have to say about that. Unfortunately we are celebrating this wonderful day in sickness. Bryce has strep, and the rest of us are just trying to compete in our sicknesses to get the most sympathy. Somehow I (Jenn) never win in this category. I suppose Rick can win the sympathy votes today, after all it is his birthday. Happy birthday to you (cough, cough), Happy birthday to you (sneeze, blowing noses), Happy Birthday dear Rick (cough, sigh), Happy birthday to you! (FEVER) :0)
