April Showers feel like downpours

Looks like I'm on the monthly schedule for blogging.  Oh well, life is too busy to worry too much about it.

Here's the run down of April.

The weather started getting warm enough for us to walk home from school. 
We only live a few blocks from school and most of the walk is a nice walking path.

General Conference April 2013

Anne made herself a snack necklace to eat during conference.  We stayed home for conference this time.  Our tradition of going and staying in a hotel doesn't seem to be much of a tradition anymore.  Hopefully schedules will allow us to start that up again some time.

Hmmm, sleeping during conference.  Good thing he didn't catch a picture of me doing that. :)

Spring Break

While everyone else went to Disney World or California or some exotic place (okay, not everyone, but it seems like everyone), we stayed home for spring break.  I have come to realize over the years that kids expectations are way lower than we think they are.  They were perfectly happy playing at the park and getting ice cream.  In fact, Christopher and Michael's favorite part of spring break was getting their very own library cards from the Ramsey library.  Free fun!!

Okay, I couldn't get a picture of Jacob with a normal face.  That kid is a riot!

What is spring break with out a little stick pulling.

Gross Jelly Belly Game

My sister sent the kids some of these funny Jelly Bellies that are a game.  Each color has a good flavor and a bad flavor and you don't know what it's going to be until you eat it.  Strawberry Jam/Centipede, Banana Split/Barf, Pear/ Booger.  No kidding, some of the flavors were disgusting.  And the kids just kept doing it, even though they kept getting these awful flavors.  It was hilarious.  I wouldn't eat even one because no way am I eating a jelly bean that tastes like barf.

Finally, a good one!

Bubble blowing

Stick sword fights

Christopher started baseball.  He's on the Chipmunks team.  He's having a good time with it.

Daniel starting eating more solid foods.  He LOVES food!

Jacob usually only colors monochromatically

Christopher had a "Grand Friends Tea" at school.  They entertained their senior
friends with songs, poems and refreshments.  I wish I could have seen it.
Our friend Armando Arguelles came to be with him and said it was awesome.

See those 2 teeth.

Happy Baby!!
