My sweet little girl

When I came home from work the other day, Kendra had this little arrangement all made up for me. What a great surprise after a day at the office! :)

AWANA Awards Night

Tonight was Awards Night for AWANA. This was Kendra's last year of Cubbies, and then she goes into Sparks next year. I had the pleasure of getting up and telling about Cubbies and giving out the awards.

Ready to go...Collin had to be in the picture! :)

One all by herself.

Getting their awards. Not a really clear picture, but you get the idea!
Great job Cubbies, and thank you to the parents who let them come and worked with them on their verses.

Collin's Words

Collin has been saying a lot of words at once. Tonight he kept saying "pickle, pickle", and I could not figure it out until he started tickling me. It was funny...he was "pickling" Kendra and me all evening! I tried catching him saying some of his words the other evening. You will have to excuse the lawn mower in the background!

Spring Musical

We had a Spring Musical at our church, and the kids Kendra's age sang a few songs. Kendra was nervous...she said that she did not know all of the hand actions to the songs, and was afraid that people would laugh at her...I explained to her that we would be proud of her even if she couldn't do all of the actions, and she was okay. :) It was fun to watch, and a great program!

Kendra all dressed up ahead of time...my other pictures didn't turn out.

Collin's Haircut

I am a little slow on posting this...our weekend was a full one! Collin got his hair cut on Friday. It was getting kind of crazy, so he got his hair cut along with Mike. It is so much better, and he looks so much older to me...almost like a different kid!

Before...you will have to excuse the pop tart in his mouth. That is what I get for saying "cheese" when I take his picture! :)

After...he wasn't thrilled about riding in the carseat.

Our weekend away

Mike had the day off Friday for Arbor Day, and I got the day off as well, so we went to Kearney to pick up siding for the house. I got a great deal on a motel room (thanks to Priceline!), so we stayed the night. It was a fun time.

Posing with the bear at Cabela's

Kendra and Mike had fun splashing eachother in the pool.

Collin thought it was TOO COLD!

Kendra and Daddy

Kendra warming up afterwards.

Collin was having a blast just watching Mike in the pool.

Ready for bed...don't we look like it?!

I took this clip just to show Collin's excitement at watching Mike jump in. I wish I would have gotten his face. It was too funny.

Kindergarten...So soon?

Kendra had Kindergarten Roundup on Friday morning...it just does not seem possible that she will be starting school already. She is very excited about it, but I'm not so much. It's hard to let her go! She has told me all about it, and keeps asking me when she can go back. I hope the summer lasts extra long this year. :) I intend to enjoy every moment that we have together this summer!

All ready and excited to go.

Telling us all about what she did...Collin loved the fruit loop necklace!
