Cinderella Performance

Ella's ballet teacher choose to do another spring performance.  This show was Cinderella.  Her class was the clock.  

This is waiting her turn in the show.  A DSi is a great thing to play.  

She loves to perform and be on the stage.  We had two shows on Saturday.  

Meme and Peggy gave her money.  She bought Sky Landers.  She has added to Seth's collection.  

A Busy Day

I am one of the coaches for Girls on the Run (GOTR).  We have two seasons per year.  Fall and  Spring.  It was time for the Spring 5K.  I talked our VIF teacher into running the race.  She had never done a 5K.  

Before the race. 

Our group of girls.

After the race - she did it.  I was so proud of her. 

Ella had a birthday party that afternoon.  The party was a fashion, makeup, nails, etc. party.  She loved her hair.

Later that night, Garrett was trying to teach me how to hit a shot with the stick.  I am not the best hockey player for sure.

Ahhhh!! I don't know what to do

Garrett has been having this skin issue for over a year now.  He is non-stop itching.

I have take him to the doctor over and over.  We decided to go to the allergy doctor for another round of trying to figure this all out. 

Allergy testing 

 The final result

only grasses

So a week later on medication and lotions this is what he looks like 

We head back to the doctor for more help.  She test him again for additional things.  She gives him other directions for his meds. and lotion.

I am searching out lotions and living oils.  If only I could get him to participate in the oils.  He is a 

little not so sure of it.  I am hoping that being at home this summer will give me chance to help him.

I also have him on a vitamin regiment with some liver cleansing.  We will see.    

The Blinds are Going In

This is a beginning picture of what the blinds looked like going up.  I took a while to decide what to do in the new house.  Once we decide, I took about 6 weeks for them to be ordered and arrive.  April 25th was the day.  

Nope - don't have a completed picture.  Crazy but wanted to remember how it looked before they all went in. 

Spring Break Happenings

Ella spend most of spring break with meme and papa.  While she was gone, we ( the boys and I) attempted to put the trampoline together for her.  I biggest part was finding all the parts and pieces from the move.  

Only took us a few hours but we accomplished it.  

Seth was the first to enjoy.  

We enjoyed a game at the new Knights stadium.  The team has moved uptown with a new stadium.

Funnel cakes are an all time favorite of the kiddos.  We took this picture to send to Ella since she wasn't with us.  Trying to see if we made her a little jealous.  

Of course, I loved being able to get up, have a little run, then enjoy coffee and my bible study or devotion time.  Spring Break was so nice to sit back and relax.

I can see the light at the end coming to the end of the school year.  

What a year it has been.
