Nate's Kindergarten Graduation

Nate is so happy to be a kindergarten graduate! His class did the cutest program ever! They had a circus theme and they each dressed up (Nate was an elephant which explains all the grey) and did their "tricks" The kids had fun and it was so entertaining!

Finally, a first grader!

Oh my heck he was the cutest elephant!! Congratualtions, Nate, on graduating kindergarten! We love you!

D.A.R.E. Graduation

The middle school provides drug abuse resistance education to all the 5th graders. They learn about how drugs and alcohol effect our bodies and also about bullying. They have a nice graduation program when all the kids have completed the class. This is Brayden at his graduation shaking Sheriff Klingler's hand. What a valuable program to offer these kids!!

Happy Easter!

Oh what fun we had at grandma Robinson's annual Easter egg hunt. The weather was snowy and windy so she brought the hunt indoors in her garage. The kids look forward to this every year and as always grandma made it a great one!

I think we all had a little too much sugar!

Haley checking out her loot.

By the look on Nate's face, I'd say he didn't find any eggs behind those boxes.

Kacie had the advantage with Brett giving away all the hiding spots!

It was good to see everyone again and spend some time together. Thanks grandma for a great time!

Day to Remember

I wanted to post about a memorable day. First, Kacie blew her first bubble--she was sure proud of herself. Second, Brett finally gave in and let Haley get her ears pierced. She was sure excited to get this done and been asking for a few years. She picked out a cute pair of colorful daisies and has been great about cleaning and twisting. Yay, for both of you! :)

Happy St. Patty's Day

The leprechaun made it to our house this year. He left a hat full of chocolate gold for the kids. I told them he needed to keep his real gold to pay all of his bills. I made green pancakes for breakfast and we ate them on green plates and drank out of green cups. That's as festive as we get these days. I did make green cupcakes in the afternoon which looked better than they tasted. Thanks to the little green man for the yummy chocolate! :)

Fun Family Night

Brett and I wanted to do something special for the kids for having great report cards. We decided to do a candle-light dinner. We got sparkling cider and fancy glasses to drink from. The kids thought it was great! My camera's flash makes it seem brighter, but it was fun to sit in the dark and have a nice family dinner.

We recreated TGI Friday's brownie obsession for dessert. Zach's comment was, "oh my gosh, this is GOOD!" Nate wasted no time diving in. We are so proud of all the kids and their hard work in school!
