Makenzie and her tricks...

Little story about Makenzie that I need to share. It happened on April Fools Day I sent her off to school like a normal day and pick her up and asked how her day was. She told me everything was good except she forgot her coat outside at recess so the substitute let her out a few minutes early so she could find her coat. Ok nothing more said, we load everyone else in the car and head to my parents house for the weekend. We get there and send the kids in to eat dinner with their cousins while Josh and I are unpacking the car. Makenzie starts to tell her cousins what trick she played on her teacher at school that day with my parents and brother and sister-in-law in the same room. My dad said to me later that Makenzie played a good trick on her teacher, I asked what trick and he told me I better talk to Makenzie. Josh and I call her in and asked what happened at school today (like I did when she got in the car). She then tells us that her friend brought a fake mouse to school and gave it to Makenzie. Makenzie turned around and put it on her teachers chair. Her teacher saw it and let out a little scream and said that she was deathly afraid of mice and that who ever put it on her chair had better come and get it. I asked if she got in trouble for doing that and she said she did not get to do the fun activity for the day but that she had to do Math instead. I asked if she was ok with that and she said yes because it was really funny. Little stinker, I am so glad her teacher was ok with that. I did talk to her teacher about it and she said it was totally ok being April Fools Day. She has the best teacher right now and I am so grateful for that. Josh said to her it was probably not the best idea but it was funny. All I can say to that is Josh you better watch out because she will get you one day because she is learning from the best (meaning her dad).

Special times with my grandma

My grandma came to visit and ended up having surgery to remove cancer in her colon. She was not planning on having this done here it just worked out better for her to get it done here. After surgery she came to my house to recoup a little bit before heading to my moms house. We enjoyed having her stay with us because we don't get to see her very often. My kids really had a good time making sure she was ok or had every thing she needed. Spencer was at her side most of the time while she was here and I loved seeing them interact.

My mom and Aunt Barb were the ones who really took care of her but it was fun having them all here for a few days. I showed them some of my watch bands made with different beads and they had fun creating their own.

Let's go for a ride

We loaded the bikes up and went for a quick ride it was Makenzie's first ride that was not around our house. She was so excited to get out and try some trails. We got to a hill that scared her but given her choice of taking her bike back and putting it away or going up the hill, she chose to go up the hill. She did awesome and even though she cried at the end of the ride she said she was so happy she did it and when can we do it again. It will be a fun summer with her. We went with Cory, Stefanie, and Joslyn. This is Joslyn and Kaitlyn wall geared up and waiting to go.

Hannah did not want to go riding this day so she is sitting in the trailer hoping she doesn't have to go. Sorry girl you have to ride.

Bike Jump

Josh made a jump for his motorcycle and the kids decide to add another side and make a jump for their bikes.

I am glad my kids find things to create fun. They are so excited that it is nice enough to be outside. I hope it starts to get warm and stay warm.

Easter fun

We went to hunt for eggs and at this house they also had baby chicks and baby ducks. My kids had so much fun holding them they all asked if we could take one home. My kids also walked away with so much candy they loved it. Hannah is holding one but she didn't want it to touch her hands because they did scratch.

Not a very good picture of Kaitlyn but she could not get enough of these little chicks. She put it down long enough to do the Easter egg hunt but could care less about what was in her eggs. We had to drag her away when it was time to go.
