Mother's Day 2018

We made an adventure out of Mother's day this year, and headed down to Perrot State Park for some hiking,  picnicking, and spectacular views.

I am so blessed to be their mom!

Three Littles

Bryndel & I met Grandma, Heidi, Cylas, & Nolan at an indoor park yesterday. The three littlest Graham cousins had BIG fun together :)

Can you feel the joy?

Hard to believe these two will be Kindergartners soon!

We finished the day happily exhausted, sweaty, and very very silly! Such a great day.

April 2018

April finally brought spring! Plenty of snow first, more than a foot in fact, but spring has sprung.

Turkey hunters have sprung up around here too, ha! Piper,

Bryndel, and Hadley (the reader).

Grandma came for the Science & Invention Fair.

We snuck in some coffee too :)

Chalk season is upon us as well, and Bryndel showed big cousins Brent, from Alaska, just how to chalk paint.

We finished out the month with a beautiful Spring Preschool Program. Hard to believe it's our last!

Snow Day!!

Easter 2018

Despite the chilly temperatures, we spent a great weekend at Grandma's celebrating Easter with lots of love and laughter.

Lots of snuggling and stories with Grandma.

Love from Oma & Opa,

Great Grandma Joan, and

Great Grandpa Jerry. Followed by thee coldest egg hunt to date!

Tons of good food.

And brains. Hahaha! We were really just messing with Mike, who hates how spaghetti noodles look :)

Cousin time galore.

And, celebrating the ressurection of Jesus together on Easter Sunday.

We missed Mike & family more than words can say, but we know God is watching over them.

March 2018

We took full advantage of our beautifully snow laden property during March. We spent more hours snowshoeing, hiking, and sledding than ever before. It was SO much fun!! 

Hot chocolate breaks are a must!

 Lots of sister love!

It was fun to watch the snow melt from week to week.  And some days were even warm enough to shed layers!

Hadley & her friends, the Three Musketeers, made it into the Battle of the Books final!

Piper brought home a recorder! 

And Bryndel got a prize for not sucking her fingers any more!

We got a morning of game playing with Cyndy over spring break :)

The girls made their first batch of cookies just the three of them... delicious too!

And we finished out spring break with a trip up north to spend time with Ava and Aria. Now, if we could just melt that snow and bring on spring!
