Piano, Playing Soccer, and Playground..

A few Saturday's ago Bruce had a Piano recital. 
He did such a great job and we are proud of him! 

James started playing soccer every Thursday night and so far he loves it. 
Last Thursday it was 80 degrees so we spent most of the day outside.  Here are a few pictures from the playground: 

 
Kate was so excited she reached the top bell. 



 Bruce also got a haircut :) it looks great for summer.

Super Spring Break with my Sister & girls..

Last Wednesday my sister and her 3 cute little girls flew in to surprise us.  I took Kate with me on a "Special Date" to the Airport and told her that we would just see if we knew anyone.  I asked her that if there was anyone who could come off the airplane- who would she want.   
She said "Lilly." Next thing we know here come Lilly and the rest of her family- Hooray!!! 


On Thursday the kids still had school (I took them out before lunch.)  I went to breakfast with Jo & girls at this delicious new crepe place.  
 Sophia's crepe was HUGE! 

We stayed home most of the day and just played.
 Thank you mom for the fun crafts!

On Friday we went to the zoo:

 
Then in the afternoon B took some kids to see Oz.

On Saturday there was an Easter Egg hunt at church.
