Mother's Day

And a Mother's Day poem from Blake! I was a spoiled Mommy!

"Bugz!"

Evan was a boll weevil in his first grade play "Bugz!" He had several speaking parts and they sang a lot of songs. It was a fabulous production and all the kids were great. Grandma and I made his costume. Boll weevils are nasty little bugs that eat cotton and destroy cotton crops. His music teacher suggested we take a brown tshirt and cover it with cotton balls. We also made him a hat too. After the concert he complained how the cotton balls made him itch!

Little bike rider

Gary installed the bike seat on my bike and took Kendall for a ride. She didn't like it. Now she loves it. We have fun on our family bike rides!

Easter Eggs

The day before Easter we colored eggs. Grandpa seemed to really enjoy coloring the eggs. Kendall enjoyed it but insisted on doing it herself. She didn't like Daddy's help too much. Our neighbor Lexi joined dyed eggs with us. I only boiled a dozen eggs and the boys were bummed when they only colored 1-2 eggs each. Next year I'll boil more especially since Grandpa enjoyed it so much!

Toy, Book and Cookie Drive

Blake had to complete 10 hours of community service for his Holy Communion and Confirmation. Blake and his friends Jake and Luke Kachurka had a toy, cookie and book drive for Phoenix Children's Hospital. They collected as you can see in the photos a lot of things for the hospital. The cookies are given to the parents and grandparents of children staying at the hospital and the books and toys are for the children. We thank everyone for helping with this wonderful service project!

Suns V Blazers...Suns WIN!

Gary received 4 tickets to the Suns V Blazers game last night. It was a 7:30 p.m. start and we debated taking the boys since it was a school night and the first day back from Spring Break. However the seats were awesome and we thought it would be a great way to end Spring Break. Gary, Grandpa, and the boys watched the Suns beat the Blazers 93 to 87. The boys told me this morning that they sat by Steve Nash's wife, Dad, and his daughters. Evan said "it was so fun and the Suns won by 6!"

twenty-seven months

Kendall is growing way too fast. I looked at the date and realized she's 27 months already. I took these photos over the weekend when she was showing me her latest owie. Last weekend she crashed her tricycle and banged up her face. This week it was her hand. She's part princess and part tomboy and 100% FUN!
