Ava's Spring Progam

Wednesday night we went to Ava's program at school. They all did a great job.

Ava played the "Little Red Hen"

Sleepover

Last Friday night Paxton wanted his cousins Ellie and Ava to sleep over so they spent the night and then played at our house and then down at Ellie and Ava's in the afternoon. We layed out three mattresses on the living room floor for them to sleep on.

Little Helper

Last weekend we were spreading some mulch in the yard. Paxton loves to help load the wheelbarrow, at least for a little while!! Then it is back to swing on the swing or riding the scooter.

Race Weekend

Last weekend we went out to New York to meet up with some friends to do some Go-Kart Racing. We stayed with Claude and Rebekah while we were out there. Saturday morning all the guys headed to the indoor karting facility. It was a lot of fun and everyone left still being friends. We met up with the ladies and kids at a park for supper and some playing outside. It was such a nice warm day. Sunday a bunch of us met up for lunch at a Japanese Steakhouse. It was a good meal and entertaining chefs that cooked for us on the hibachi. That afternoon I dropped Johanna off at the train station in Albany on my way home so she could meet up with her sisters in New York City. She will have to do a post of that trip.

Fun Times Outside

The weather has been nice the last couple of days so Paxton has spent a lot of time outside. He loves riding his Razor Scooter around the driveway. Shaelyn likes being outside too. We took her out the other day with her little cart that she pushes around and she had a great time walking all around the driveway with it. She won't walk on her own yet but likes walking with that cart. Yestersday Breanna and Braden stayed at our house after school until we went to Kevin and Jody's for supper. Braden and Paxton rode their scooters from our house all the way to Kevin and Jody's while Breanna and I walked with them. Everyone was a little tired by the time we got there but they had enough energy to place outside for a while until it got dark. Fun times!!

Sunday we went to Brad & Shelley's for lunch with Mom & Dad and the Kilgore's. The kids had fun looking for eggs out in the yard after lunch. Sunday evening Brad & Shelley and the girls came for supper and the kids played outside until it got dark.

Last weekend Claude and Rebekah came and spent the weekend with us. We had a great time. Saturday morning we went to Parkers Maple Barn for breakfast. Saturday evening Mom and Dad kept the kids for us and the four of us went to a Japanese Steakhouse where they cook in front of you. That was fun. Sunday afternoon Brad and Shelley came over and stayed for supper along with Claude and Rebekah. It was a great weekend, lots of eating and laughing. Thanks for coming!!
