The Colours of Spring

It's coming...spring is blossoming in our yard, and we're seeing the fruit of our fall bulb digging efforts!

Our Backyard Is Going To The Birds!

We've really been enjoying our feathered friends in our backyard this spring, there have been so many! This sweet little hummingbird spent a long time feasting on our crabapple blossoms and the others come to enjoy the seeds we put out for them! We love hearing their songs throughout the day! The only complaint so far: "there's lots of bird poop on the slide, mom"!!

Easter

We had a nice Easter weekend remembering what Jesus has done for us! Of course, it also involved and Easter egg hunt in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard!! Mitchell very quickly understood what the hunt was all about and found his share of eggs! He was especially excited when the older kids were emptying contents of their eggs into their buckets and he found piles more of the coloured plastic eggs on the grass. In fact, Mitchell just found another egg in their backyard about 2 weeks ago, we'll see if we can find any more, keep it going until next Easter!

Big White Ski and Snowboard (for Ethan) Trip

So, I wasn't going to post this until I got the pictures from my other card which won't dump onto this computer but it is now May and I give up!! This is it, you get what you get, as Hannah would say!

Maren skied for the first time and was great! She wanted to ride the big lift alone and get poles already but we held her back on those points! Ethan is continuing with snowboarding and is getting better and better! Mitchell enjoyed being in the snow and the fresh mountain air caused him to have long afternoon naps!

20 0f us, 10 adults and 10 kids packed into the Novak's beautiful condo, made for some fun, crazy and interesting times! Of course the food was great and I think we needed even more activity to work it all off!

Mom and dad's fondue was a big hit, as always!
