I love spring and the weather it brings with it. Being able to open the windows and let the fresh air in is one of my favorite things. I love the "brief" few months (sometimes it is only days) where it is cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon, and then cools off again in the evening. However; springtime usually tends to bring a busy schedule along with it! Since the weather is so nice - we try to get out a bit more and ENJOY!
To show our support for the TEXAS RANGERS we attended a preseason game they played at rough rider stadium. We had great seats right behind home plate! The kids were so cute all decked out in their "texas" attire with their baseball gloves. I was certain we would be catching a foul ball - but NO LUCK.
In a couple weeks Chase will participate in his very first "PINEWOOD DERBY!" Now, not knowing very much about the scouting/pinewood derby fiasco....I am learning very quickly! We are discovering what an ordeal it is to get the car ready. Rick and Chase started last Saturday spending 2 hours just sanding the car! It is looking good (and smooth). We are quickly learning this is not a one night project!
With this past weekend being easter - we were sure to get in all the easter activities. Rick and the kids went to their first easter egg hunt at night.....they were excited because they got to take their flashlights and search for their eggs. (I don't think it was too hard because there were over 7,000 eggs.) The kids came home with their baskets overflowing! We also had a great time coloring our eggs at home. We only had one spill and a few fingers dyed blue! Other than that it was a success!
Easter Sunday started with pouring rain....which ruined my pretty spring easter picture outside - so we settled for an indoor picture this year! Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner and we had an awesome discussion of the true meaning of Easter. Grandma walked the kids through Christ's last week before he was crucified, then we discussed the resurrection! I have heard the Easter story my whole life, but for some reason this year it hit me right to the core! I can't even comprehend all that Christ suffered. Our discussion was priceless! The kids asked so many wonderful questions - in fact, I videotaped the entire discussion. I'm so glad I did - the questions, reactions, and intent listening from the kids was so cute! I am so grateful for our Savior and love that Easter time is such a great reminder!
