Favorites from the last month

I am still catching up on some of our favorite happenings over the last month.

During Spring Break we headed up to Wichita, KS to watch the second round of the NCAA tournament.  We watched KU play (it's been so long ago that I don't even remember who they played. Ha).  We walked around before the game and decided to stop at a hotel bar to get a drink and some appetizers.  We didn't realize it was the hotel the KU players were staying at until we heard a lot of commotion.  They were leaving the hotel to head to the game.  The kids thought that was pretty cool (including the big kid......I mean Scott).



 Nora was cheering the entire time
We took the tram to the game and the kids loved it

Nora was more interested in the cheerleaders and stood up on my knees and copied their moves.  Hannah gets really into the game and Evan is interested for a while and then focuses on something else.

We also hit up the Children's museum in Wichita and all enjoyed it




Easter was rainy this year, so we had to do the hunt inside.  Everybody got a sleeping bag from the easter bunny.....



Matta nd Casey hosted another Easter egg hunt the following weekend.  It was still cold out, but not raining.


Hannah's school hosted the annual Spring Fling dance and this years theme was 80's.
So fun






We had a really nice day out a few weeks ago and Nora asked if we can go swim.  Not quite there yet.  Then they asked if they can have their summer snack.  We have a lot of summer sausage, cheese and crackers by the pool in the summer.  Luckily I still had some frozen summer sausage, so we got to celebrate the nice day with our summer snack.  And then it snowed a few days later. Ha.




Hannah wanted to play pretend wedding.  Evan reluctantly agreed (I am sure Hannah bribed him with something......she probably promised him a game of Monopoly of he did this)




We were outside the other day and I saw that Evan was licking the sidewalk chalk.  I said to him "You are crazy.  You won't even touch a green bean, but you are out here eating chalk".  His response was "Chalk is made out of green beans?".  Haha!
Crazy kid.

We keep a shower cap around, because Hannah doesn't want the pink color in her hair to wash out so quickly.  Nora got a hold of it too.


Nora learned how to ride a bike over the last couple of weeks.  She is really proud of herself (and she should be).  She likes to show it off.

It's amazing how much quicker the third child learns things just from watching the older siblings.

We broke to the giant Jenga game for the first time.  It is a lot of fun.


We are ready for summer and lots of outside time.

Bunny Pictures......Always A Favorite

We have been doing Easter pictures with Myra for at least 7 years.  They are always some of my favorite pictures.  Probably because I don't have to bribe the kids to get pictures taken and don't have to jump up and down and make silly faces to get a good smile out of them.  Once they hold the bunnies it comes all naturally.  They all three love it.

This was Hannah's first bunny picture I posted on this blog.


Evan's first year for bunny pictures (we actually put them away when we took pictures with him since he was so little)
Nora's first year of bunny pictures
This was last year
And now finally to this year.  Nora was wearing the same dress that Hannah wore for bunny pictures in 2012.  I love seeing Nora in Hannah's old clothes.  It brings back a lot of memories.

When did Hannah get so big?  She looks way too old in these pictures
