Well Hello There......

......it's been 7 weeks since I updated the blog.  Once you take a little break it's hard to get motivated again, because you just don't know where to start.  So, I am playing catch up today.  
The weather has been a little on the chilly side for Spring, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying some Spark ice cream.
Every time we go to the Spark Cafe she wants me to lift her up so she can see all of the flavors and every single time she choses Spark, but if you ask her before she looks if she wants Spark she will say that she needs to look first.
And every single time she looks like this after eating it.....

Evan is an Ambassador for the new Children's Hospital this year and he gets invited to go to all of these events around town that support the hospital and sometimes we share our story.  We went to the U of A campus for their dance marathon and Evan had a great time.  He jumped right in and started playing and dancing with all of the College girls.
We also had an Elsa with us.
After seeing Nora the DJ played "let it go" and she was super excited.

We finally wrapped up Girl Scout cookie season, but Hannah recently took the opportunity to educate her brother and sister about Girl Scout cookies.  She made them sit in the pantry while she explained every cookie and then they were allowed to taste test two.
Same night she told them that she is the fitness instructor and she made them do a work out.  She isn't bossing them around at all :)
Squats, burpees, push ups and sit ups.....

Evan was the student of the week at his preschool and we filled out this fun poster
No surprises at all.....he loves Mac n cheese, wants to be a soccer player and is good at Monopoly!

Hannah's school did this super fun fundraiser with Marco's pizza.  All students gt to decorate their own pizza box during school hours and then during the week of the fundraiser you could order pizza in your decorated box and they donated a portion of all sales back to the school.  So fun and different!
I am not sure what Mountain Fresh pizza is......

Nora is actually really good at entertaining herself, which is very nice.  The only negative is that the room looks like this after 5 minutes...
Evan wants to play games nonstop, but I think Nora enjoys some alone time sometimes.

After we had several consecutive rainy days I asked what happened to the sun and Nora said "Oh the sun is busy"

She also said that "After I grow up I want to be a tooth fairy".  I hope your wish comes true.

Nora had put on a princess dress right before we were getting in the car to go somewhere and as most of you know it is not that easy to buckle them in with a big dress on, so Nora said to me while I was buckling her "Don't be disappointed I am wearing this dress it's amazing"

We went to Branson to visit grandma and grandpa during part of our Spring break.  Nora loves to play in the dress up clothes.
We went back to Dogwood Canyon to ride bikes.  It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  Evan went to the golf course with grandpa instead.
The ice cream was yummy on such a nice day

Look at that morning hair

Pure joy on this kids face.....nobody needs toys, just a little mud.

Well that's enough catching up for one day.
