Finishing March

It has been a busy month. A few more bits of our fun...

Extra Lexi Time. This girl thinks our house is awesome and lives just one house away from us, so she enjoys coming to play. Her spring break was the week after ours, but she fit in some extra visits. The kids also went to her birthday party at Urban Air this month.

(Sidenote: Makin was trying out his manliness and going shirtless around the house.
It concerned Lexi that he was "half naked" for this picture though. ;) And yes, the girls have spots...
she would use face paint every day if I let them.)



We were thrilled to see one of our favorite families over their Spring Break as well. Our sweet Hughes family came up for a visit with family and friends and we were able to fit some time together in one morning. We miss these faces!!!
We are adjusting to the new soccer schedule with games being on Sunday afternoons. The games are closer to church than home, so we now keep busy between church and the game without going home. It has its own challenges but we are trying to make it into good time out as a family. This particular Sunday we ate lunch at a new park and enjoyed trying out the playground as well as some fun ziplines.

The weather. Gorgeous. So grateful for spring.

It warmed up significantly so we headed to the lake after home school
one afternoon with one of Makin's classmates.



Sprinkler Fun!



Soccer practice is right after tumbling, so Macie and Lorelei have enjoyed the extra time together.

Everything tastes better when you eat it alfresco, even breakfast. :)




Just playing around.




At-Home pedicures. Hard to turn that down. :)


I went to our church's women's retreat over a weekend and it was great to spend some time outdoors and get to know a few of the ladies from our church better.

Yes, I really did zipline.
It wasn't that long (compared to what I thought it would be in my head) and it was mostly over water which made it less terrifying. It was a good time to give it a try!
Gorgeous Views
On the first night the ladies opted to start a puzzle. I was hesitant to join in because a) I don't particularly love puzzles and b) it seemed an unattainable goal to complete a 1000 piece puzzle in that amount of time. WELL I was the comic relief/biggest puzzle complainer but I was proven wrong after sheer determination. We put in a few wee hours, but got that puzzle completed before it was time to leave.
The food was amazing and the presentation was equally amazing. I cannot believe I didn't get a picture of the cheesecake.
We also had a campfire with s'mores, because we hadn't eaten enough yet. ;)

So thankful to Brad for holding down the fort another weekend with the kiddos! They had fun!
