April 2017

 Oh my, what a month April was!  Honestly, I don't think I'd relive it.  Ever.  I got the confirmation that my Dad had Lou Gehrig's disease that month.  Shaun went on a trip to Dubai that I didn't want him to go on that same day.  It was bad.  But the kids kept me going. I don't know what I'd do without them!  Isaak started baseball.  It's the real deal, three or four nights a week.  In the beginning, he was really nervous and wanted to quit.  But now he loves it!!  He makes points for his team almost every game.  Love, love, love!! 
Here's a picture that Lila painted for her teacher.  So talented!!
 Oreo face!
 Watching Isaak play ball!
 Pinewood derby!! Isaak placed third!
 
This cute boy wouldn't go to sleep one night.  This is me taking a bath at 11:00 at night.  He's still chipper!

 Stud muffin
 This photo was taken the night before Shaun left on his trip.
 The kids both happened to win a raffle at school!
 Poor Porter.  He was dancing on the coffee table when one of the decorative nails pulled up, then he stepped right on it.  It was so deep!
 Kids playing in the cupboard
 I took the kids and my parents to the Zoo one day.  I'm trying to spend as much time as I can with my Dad.  He rented a motorized scooter and did great!



 On the train!











 We did a lot of outings while Shaun was gone. It was 11 days and the kids were on spring break the whole time.  Here we are at the Church History Museum











 We also went to my parents on Easter for a big family party.  We had dinner, and an Easter Egg Hunt.
More baseball!  I wish it could go all summer!



 Shaun has been kissing up a little ever since he came back home.  I must have given him a hard time, because honey gave me a good gift!!
 Avery and Taj came over one night for a late over.  Shaun let the girls paint his toes!


 I so wish I had gotten more pictures of this, but we went to Crystal Hot Springs for a quick little trip.  It was heaven, and here we are in the new motor home!!


March 2017

Here's a few highlights from March.  Cute Lila being a cat!
Cute sleeping boys
Cute Porter and the dog he loves so much
The Dinosaur Park one Saturday when Shaun was out of town in Florida for business



Digging for gems



Porter and Tana
Shaun and I went away for a weekend to finally celebrate our anniversary.  We went to The Homestead in Midway and it was magical.  Here's a creepy elevator!
And the little condo we got to stay in . 
But the biggest event in March was...... Porter turning 2!!!

 
 


We invited my parents over for his birthday dinner and since my Mom was sick, my Dad came.  It was special to spend just a day with him.  I'm sure not looking forward to him getting worse.  He already has trouble walking, buttoning his shirt, locking doors...... I try not to think about it too much.  :(

Sweet sleeping baby
Cute leprechaun trap!

For one weekend in March I went to a hotel and stayed 2 nights by myself.  It was so relaxing and so quiet!!  Of course I had to bring the kids for a couple hours to swim!!




We played hooky from school one morning and saw Beauty and the Beast.  Porter even sat still during the movie!!


This year's Fairy Garden!

The cousins
The kids!

Hunting for Easter Eggs at Grandma Jo's!




Little Grandma.  I so admire her!
Isaak's patriotic program at school.  He said his part perfectly, sang sweetly, and even danced with a girl!!
