We started off April by having a Bridal shower for my cousin. Kyle and Grandpa entertained the kids while we were gone.
Crazy Cousins:
My Sister (Laura), Cousin Jessie, and I
The girls had green and gold day at school. The kindergarten class (Brooklyn) has all assigned events that they do as a group. 1st grade (Katelyn) and higher do group activities and each kid gets to pick 2 events to do individually. This year, Katelyn did the soccer kick and the 200 yard running. It was fun to watch her trying her best. Both of the girls had a lot of fun in the group activities as well.
All decked out in our green with stars on our faces and green hair.

Katelyn's Soccer Kick:
Easter 2017!
The girls' school always has spring break the week following Easter. We tried to fill it with a bunch of fun activities.
We did not have a chance to dye eggs before Easter, so we did it a couple days after.
I had some really good helpers working in the church library with me.
Park Day!
The girls made Easter egg shaped cookies.
Kyle also started a new job the week of spring break. It is only 30 minutes from home and with no freeway traffic, plus it is a great organization and a job role that he really seems to like. So it has been really great.
Because our plans to go out of town were canceled when Kyle got a new job, we decided to take the kids to the beach the Saturday of Easter break.
Random Photos of April!
Doesn't everyone read while in Home Depot?
Love my big reader (Katelyn).
Date night at an escape room. We made it out! (Kind of. The gave us a bunch of extra clues in the last 30 seconds because we were so close.)
The big girls love having their picture taken (sorry the picture is so small).
We teach them young.
Love this stinker.
I guess she was tired (only time this has ever happened). She had missed naptime.
And a couple random Madison videos for your viewing pleasure (turn up the volume on the first one):
