Project: Birdhouse

Last Saturday we had fun painting some birdhouses that Bryan made with some leftover wood we had from the bench project he just finished up in our garage. It's a blessing to have such a handy husband. The kids were thrilled when he brought them in and even more excited to paint them. It was a great Saturday morning project.

Checking them out before we painted them.
The painting begins..

Kolter was there too even though he isn't quite old enough to partake in painting.

As you can see they turned out quite colorful.

I even stuck one on a cabinet in my kitchen as it was too cute to put outside.

This morning Bryan, and his brother Ross, ventured out for the turkey opener on this cold, rainy day and Bryan came home a happy hunter.

The Big Tom weighed about 30lbs. had a ten inch beard and 1 -1/8in. spurs.

Praise God for a good morning in the woods.

Family Night Fun

About once a month we gather with the Rotman fam for family night. We typically just order pizza, let the kids play, and catch up. Since the we were blessed with such beautiful weather over the weekend my father in law thought having a campfire would be fun so that's exactly how we spent family night. Campfire, hobo's, hot dogs and s'mores. It sure was a perfect night. The kids had a blast too and enjoyed being able to run free. Enjoying the fire made us all feel like summer and camping season is near. It won't be long..

Riding her bike..

A ballgame, anyone?!

Ella was there, too, but she was snuggled up all cozy with her daddy as it did cool off some.

Ball..

I think he's saying it as I snapped this pic. It's one of his favorite words to say..

Roasting marshmallows..

She burned most but had fun nonetheless..

These two were quite the pair..

Again thinking he's big stuff..

Little Stinker..

These pics pretty much speak for themselves other than the fact that he wasn't ever strapped in and thankfully he wasn't left unattended. My camera was also right there. Our little sweetie has no fear. :-)

Our Dancer In Action

Last Monday was observation day in Kennedy's dance class so we were able to watch our little dancer in action for about an hour. It was neat to see how much she's improved and learned since the last observation day in October. We are looking forward to the year end recital which is now less than three weeks away. We are so proud of Kenz and it's a delight to watch her dance.

Better Late than Never- Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday filled with delicious food and good family filled company. It was a beautiful day and we were even able to spend some of it outdoors which was nice because the weather prior to Easter Sunday hadn't been all that Spring like. Sharing with you some pics of our day.

Kennedy and Ella..
Not sure why she looks like she's trying to bite Ella's ear here?!
Ella and Kolter..
Their bald heads make them look a little alike.

Enjoying the beautiful day..

The wagon was lots of fun..

Kolter and grandpa Rotman

Pushing Kolter on the broken quad..

He thought he was big stuff!!

Playing a little golf..

A trike ride..

I was even taken for a ride..

What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon?!On Resurrection Sunday we give thanks that Jesus has risen and we thank God once again for sending His Son, to die, for OUR sins. What a sacrifice that truly was.
