March Madness


With all the kids in sports now, including the littles, it is getting harder to find days to go to my nieces and nephews activities, but we had time this weekend to catch Zack's last basketball game...he was pretty awesome, even though their team narrowly lost (they have a weird scoring system, but their team was close on all of the scoring measures!) Also, the robins!!! We have now seen them twice this spring! It's going to be a good spring, I think!

Happy Birthday to my Mom! (Day late!)

I thought I had a photo to post with this, but it's not loading...I know I'm a day late, but Mom and I were shopping and having lunch yesterday so I'm a little delayed in posting :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY to  my mom, who made this job look easy and who still does so much for us every day! Love you bunches Mom!

 Celebrated Rowan's 6th birthday with his friends at Eastman Nature Center this weekend. We were planning to go snow shoeing, but there was little snow and lots of ice, so instead we did a treasure hunt. We had to hunt for pieces of the map, and then find the location of the treasure as they put the map together and learned how to read it. Really cool, perfect day to play outside. Then we came in and did cake and ice cream, presents and then they end it bey bringing one of the animals in to show the kids and teach them about the critter...lucky me, Rowan picked the largest snake in the place, a Bullsnake. Yippee! Lucky for me another kid was scared of the snake so I had to protect him ;) I'm fine with snakes, but they don't have to be in my face! Great day to celebrate!
