Great night for baseball

Quinn danced pregame at the Kernels game on Friday night. It was beautiful outside and she did a great job! Maclain loved Mr Shucks and kept looking for him. In the video Quinn is the one just above the man standing with the red hat.

Katie and Matt's baby room

Katie, Mom and I painted these animals on the new baby's walls. It turned out so cute! I can't wait to meet the little monkey! She is due June 17th and our last day of school is June 8th. Hopefully she can make it to the end of the year and then have him soon after!

Fun!

We had a tech training day at the beginning of the week and I learned a lot of fun things. One is wordle. It's a fun site that takes text and mixes it all up and creates. Here is one I just recently did while playing with it!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We went to MN for Easter and had a nice time. We spent Saturday at the Mall of America and the kids had a blast riding rides and walking around. Sunday the Stantons all came over for Easter. I think Nancy said there were over 30 people there. We had yummy food and the kids enjoyed playing with their extended cousins. I enjoyed catching up with the cousins too. It was a fun day and the weather was nice. We even headed to the nearby park for awhile. Barb took pictures of the whole group, so when she sends them to me, I will post it later.

New Room

This weekend we made some big changes at our house. Quinn has decided she wants her own room, so we are now in the process of creating a new room for her and Maclain got his room updated too. He no longer has to sleep in a pink Tinkerbell room! Quinn was very sad when we had to paint over Tink. I told her we could just go around her and cover her up later once her room was done, but she said she wanted Maclain to have his room done now, so she cried and said goodbye to her Tinkerbell. It was very sad...she is growing up. But it was exciting too because Maclain's room turned out just like I had hoped. He LOVES anything to do with cars and trucks, so he now has a transportation room. I am still going to order some Uppercase Living cars, trucks, etc...and I am going to get a few road signs (stop sign, speed limit sign, etc...) to add some art to the walls, but for the most part it is done.
Maclain has had somewhat of a hard time saying goodbye to the crib. We took that down and traded Katie and Matt the crib for the full bed. He loved his crib and doesn't want to stay in the toddler bed to fall asleep. He'll get use to it eventually...poor guy! I think the new room is helping with the transition:)

Yeah Spring!!!

This weekend was so nice out! I spent most of Saturday scrubbing and cleaning to get rid of all the germs that have been hanging out at our house this past week. I also got the Uppercase saying I got for my birthday from my sisters up on our bedroom wall.
The kids enjoyed being outside and played most of Sunday afternoon. Mark took Quinn on a bike ride while Maclain napped, and then the two of them decided to do some Art in the sunshine.
Happy Birthday to Kamber today!!! We love you!

We spent Saturday at the Children's Museum. I think we are all a little sick of being cooped up and had the winter blahs. So we decided to head to the museum and I am so glad we did! It has been over a year since we went, and Quinn is now getting in to all the dramatic play there. Her favorites were the Pizza Place and the grocery store. She was really pretending she worked there and it was so cute. Maclain loved the books, the construction area and driving the ambulance. I think we were there almost 4 hours, but the time flew. We loved just hanging out together and it was a nice Saturday. I still have report cards to finish (by tomorrow) and cleaning to do, but I am glad we took the time to enjoy the day.
