Working hard

Our neighbor tore a tendon in his knee and his lawn mower was broken. He offered on our Ward Facebook page that he would pay $15 to anyone who mows lawn. I asked if you wanted to do it and she said yes. Jeremy got the lawn mower out and Ada worked hard. Everybody that drove by well she was working made a point to tell me how cute she was and how good of a job she was doing. She's only ever done our front lawn before, but she really was proud of herself for being able to finish the whole lawn. And hey she's $15 richer.

Scouts

Yesterday was our first pinewood derby. Sam enjoyed it but he thinks dad did everything because Jeremy cut it out and put the wheels on. Sam did design it and paint it. His car did very well but more than anything I love watching him interact with his friend Deacon. It showed me that when he is invested he does pay attention. And I loved it.

Spoiled

We spoiled ourselves and bought some bunk beds for camping. This will be nice to keep all the bedding off of the dirty floor and keep a walkway in our tent. For now all four kids fit in it. It was more money than I would like to spend, but we were able to find some at Costco for $100 less and they're selling them online.

Sunday

Sunday evening we took the chance to drive up to Wallsburg. During the Spring is perfect to go there because of all the baby animals. We saw a baby lambs, baby goats, baby cows, and a baby horse. We also saw quite a few deer eating someone's Garden. Seth especially was excited to see goats. We drove by a school house built in 1904. Apparently it's for sale. It looks amazing and if we had twice the amount of income that we do I wouldn't hesitate to go and remodel it.

Family Night

This last week we spent family night going to Cabela's. We were trying to price out a few of our worn out camping supplies. The kids were absolutely excited about the fish. I guess that's the good part about not going to the same store for a long time in between.

Superman

Here's Superman helping at the DMV. We went to help Frederico register his car. Now we're in the process of getting both of them driver's licenses.

Chicken

Evelyn said that she's a chicken with her eggs in the nest. And she said the eggs that are two colors are peacocks.

Christian

Our little Ecuadorian family is so fun. They didn't have money for this baby to get clothes his size and I don't think we're having another baby so I dug out all the size 18 months to 2 years old and they were so happy. He had a blast helping us pull them out. Apparently he needs glasses. I was able to get them to the optometrist and help them find a place that would not be too expensive for glasses. But for a family that makes $13,000 a year tops to support four people and three of them need glasses even $100 is a lot.

Whoops

Evelyn was so worried that she would rub her lipstick off during her recital that she was very careful not to. But afterwards she really wanted it off and tried to rub it off. Instead of asking me for a napkin or something to help her she just used her hand. It was pretty funny.

The first time he lets me take a picture with him and the shark

Easter candy

I was all tired out. This was my only Easter candy picture.
