Easter joy!!

Our Easter Day was most glorious because of the time spent with our kids/grandkids. They make us feel joyful and full of life when we are together. Many thanks for all the love and time you choose to share with Craig and I. We could not have thought of a better way to spend this holyday.
It does appear as if they girls and boys do not get along, huh???

Bear Flats weekend

As you can see, quading has added a new dimension to camping and we added the newest member to our quading club:)(Yes way...that would be Rachel!!)The Shepard's found an awesome camping spot and the weekend was most enjoyable with perfect weather, well-behaved kids(and adults), great food, good campfires/marshmellow roasts and obviously, lots of quading!! Yahoo, this is only the beginning of the camping season and what a perfect start.

Our baseball "stars"

On Saturday we went to watch Dylan and Steven playball with Central Christian church league. How wonderful to observe the emphasis being Christian sportsmanship and the game starting with a prayer!! Both teams have improved greatly since the first time we watched them play. The "stars"

played exceptionally well and made us most proud. How blessed we are to live in close proximity to be part of their activities:)

Love you, Grammy and Poppy

Bailey wants to be like Paige

Katelyn was cleaning her bathroom this morning and Bailey decided to "help". She found the rubberbands and so Katelyn thought she would help her out and do her "hair". If you remember the pictures of Paige a while back - you can see the family resemblence. We think she looks a lot like Yoda. Anyway, just a few pictures for you to get a giggle over.

Go Cardinals!!

Even though they lost I am still posting these pics.
This is a 5am on Feb 1st,Super Bowl Sunday, in the front yard of my girlfriend Tara. She works for Grow and Learn Preschool and is a Steelers fan.




Along with Kristi and Misty, my two bosses, we put more than 50 Cardinals signs. It was so much fun!!!
