Fire Hydrant Fun

Grace has awesome Grandpas. Her Papa Wade is a city worker and yesterday he flushed the fire hydrants. It did warm up a little so we followed him around and she got to play in the water a little bit. She had so much fun.





p.s. sorry about the pics being so small but my camera is broke so I am using my cell phone.

Go Cyclones ???

Grandpa Jack and Grandma Linda took Grace to the Cyclone Spring game. Brooks and I do not approve but what can you do? Just kidding. She had so much fun and is very excited about going back. Don't worry Hawk fans we are going to take her to her first Hawkeye game this fall!










Hehehe...a little fix up to this picture done by me!!!




Day with Dave, Sidinia and the Goodwins

We went to our friends Sidinia and Dave's and then went up to Sidinia's mom and dad's to help dig "hens and chicks". Grace loves Sid and Dave SO much and is always very excited to spend time with them. Sidinia's mom and dad are really nice folks and love Gracie too.

Mini Olympics

Last Thursday was Grace's first field trip. The preschool and a bunch of parents went to Central College for the Mini Olympics. It was so much fun. Here are a few pics.

Easter...Saturday and Sunday

We had Easter for my family on Saturday at my house. I made a really awesome pork loin and potatoes to go along with some salads and other stuff. Steve, Jennifer, Haley, Raina, Derek, Jack and Linda were there to enjoy the day.

Aunt Jen and Uncle Steve bought the girls these chocolate eggs with candy inside!
On Sunday Brooks, Grace and I went to early services and breakfast at church. After an early morning nap we headed over to Grandma Martha's for dinner and another egg hunt.

Grace, Lexie and I headed over to our cousin Beth Ann's for Easter Dessert later in the afternoon Sunday. It was so much fun to see everyone. The kids had a great time finding all the eggs and getting to play with each other. Grace told me on the way home her favorite part of her day was "Going to Beth's Lake!!!" Beth has a small pond in her front "yard" that she took all the kids to.

Bunnies, Eggs, and The Pony Express

Friday was CRAZY!!! Grace invited four friends over Tori, Trevon, Jeremiah, and Dylan. We started out the day with making Bunny S'mores. These are leftover craft kits from my daycare days and are so cute.
Next the kids played while they waited for the pizza rolls to cook, that we had for lunch and were a big hit. They were extremely rambunctious and LOUD.

They kids relaxing for a "second" while I got the eggs ready to color. Coloring eggs was so much fun and not as messy as I thought it would be.
After all the eggs were colored and had their stickers applied we walked up town. My friend Becky had let me know that the Pony Express was coming to town. The horses and mules were very neat to watch and then the excitement happened. They robbed Casey's General Store!!! Casey's had a can up there for donations that went to kids with disabilities and they came in and "robbed" that money. The riders then send the money to the charity. The kids thought it was very cool to watch a "robbery".
The Pony Express
Thanks Bryce for letting the kids pet the mule...although the kids thought it was a horse.

All in all it was a great day. We can't wait to have everyone over again.
