Snow Bunnies

It snowed this week, which was disappointed to Jeni, Marshal, and Mya (Dave was away on a trip at the time) but Avonlea thought it was great. Reluctantly Jeni agreed to go out and play in the snow with her. But rather than making the traditional snow man, Jeni decided to make snow bunnies. They are definitely more "spring" than snow men. Avonlea had a great time, and loved squirting the bunnies with colors. Its taken a few days, but the last of the snow bunnies has just about melted.

Easter Morning

Here are a few pictures of our Easter Morning. Before General Conference started, we had an egg hunt and colored eggs. The kids really enjoyed coloring the eggs and were pretty sad when they were all colored. After the egg coloring we spent the rest of the day watching conference. Both Marshal and Mya filled out a conference bingo game found on the church's website. We all learned a lot about Jesus and Easter.

Water Park

We spent some time up in Appleton going to the hotel with the waterpark. Dave cashed in some hotel points and spent two days there. We spent almost all of our time at the hotel swimming. The kids had a lot of fun.

Spring Time Pictures

Here are some pictures of the happenings around our home. Mya did some gardening and went skating with some of her friends during Spring Break. Marshal raced his pine wood car, but didn't do as well this year as last year.

Goodbye Bella, Avy's new Bed, and Snow

Well as many of you probably heard, our family gave our dog Bella back to the breeder last week. After careful consideration, we all decided it was in the best interest of the family. Of course everyone was a little sad to see her go, especially Dave. But we are all moving on and looking forward to being able to spend more time together as a family.

Avonlea's bed finally came this week. She now has a big girl bed to sleep in. It is large enough for when guests come to visit as well. The new bed is taking Avy a little time to get used to.

Well the snow just won't melt and go away. Although its been a pretty normal year as far as snow goes, it really hasn't melted all winter. The piles that formed in November are still there. Here is a picture of our home and street after yesterday's surprise snow shower. One more month and hopefully it will all be gone!

Snowshoes and Bella

Jeni and Mya went snowshoeing for a school field trip last week. They both had a lot of fun. They went to the Ledgeview Nature center just north of Fond du Lac.

Here are a couple of pictures of Bella and Avy. Avy and Bella were playing cute tonight and so you get to share in the pictures.

Christmas Pictures

Here are some of our Christmas pictures. The kids loved their new pajamas and they had a great time opening presents on Christmas morning.

Here is also a picture of Mya in her cowgirl costume. She was a square dancer in her schools play "Christmas at the OK Corral"
