Finally...

Fun in the SUN!

Gymnastics Playgroup

Playgroup was at Creative Gymnastics today.  Taylie has been waiting all week for this and couldn't wait to wear her leotard like big sister Kelsey does every Monday night.  

She knew exactly what she wanted to do...

I just followed as she jumped from one thing to the next.

The gym was overpopulated with Amish today!

Working on building some muscle in those legs!

Bits and Pieces

Sunday School lesson at home was on Honesty...

Macey enjoyed helping me plan and highlighting all of the days verses in her Bible.

Kelsey dressed up for the occasion and wore an Easter dress.

Taylie ended our lesson with prayer and thanked God for her blankie, Mommy, the day, and Jesus.

The girls and I tackled the upstairs playroom and bedroom and now looks much more organized and clean.

Jason went to school for a few hours to plan.

Most of the afternoon was spent outside riding bikes, jumping rope, swinging, digging for worms, watering new grass seed, and taking American dolls on a stroller ride around the block.

For some reason, Taylie couldn't remember she was digging for worms, but instead kept saying, "Don't worry mom, when I find an octopus, I won't scare you."

The girls all had a bath using Kelsey's new Tinkerbell bath fizz that she won yesterday at the Fancy Nancy party.  It didn't fizz much at all.

I filled out the sign up sheets for Kelsey and Macey to play t-ball.

Taylie went day 2 without nap and did great all day staying busy (she always naps, and loves to nap, but Jason and I prefer to workout when all kids are sleeping...if she naps, she's up until almost 8pm)....she fell asleep on her beanbag in the playroom watching Rapunzel with her sisters at 6:10pm....poor thing was so tired.

Jason and I just finished Day 20 of Insanity...wow, it's tough!

Spring Break

Bits and Pieces from our Spring Break last week:


-We enjoyed the pool and hot tub at the hotel where Jason's mom, sister, and boys stayed in Shipshewana.

-Spent a day outlet shopping in Fremont, IN.  I got new workout shoes!

-Revisited Ruby Tuesdays for the first time since having kids.  This used to be a regular stop every weekend in the summer, when Jason and I were dating.  They still have great food and a good salad bar.

-Jason and I started spending our nights together doing the workout program, Insanity.  When the 60 days are done and if I can see improvement, I just might post our before and after pictures :)  We are now 8 days in and enjoying it.

-Jason brought the girls to school to play in the gym.

-Family came down for Vern's re-opening (Amish store) for the season, but we were disappointed with his prices this time around.

-Jason taught the girls how to jump rope.

-Mace enjoyed her new bike from Bumpa from her birthday a lot.
