And. . .

Spring Break 2013 comes to an end. . . or does it?  Thanks to a spring snow storm, we ended up with an extra day for Spring Break.  We measured 11 inches in our backyard.


Ummm. . . just a little snow!

Lizzie enjoying her snow day!

Sadie was so excited to take a walk in the snow.  I do not know how she did it.  As you can tell, the snow was deep!  She has been resting ever since we returned home.

SNOW!!

Yes, that is the third fairway over there.  Zach had hoped to be golfing after school this week.  I don't think so!

 It is wet and heavy and pretty.


Southern Indiana

After our visit to Indy, we headed to Southern Indiana for a few days full of cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends.


Lizzie spent most of her time trying to figure out ways to get her hands on a baby!

Children's Museum

I love the Indianapolis Children's Museum.  There is something for everyone there.  We had a great time exploring and playing.


Exploring Egypt with the entire crew.

Hot Wheels Exhibit was cool and we saw one of Brian's dream cars!

Brycen loved making food for us all in the Egyptian Cafe.

The Superheroes Exhibit was fun!  Super Kelly and the crew fly through the city!

 GECKOS!

Kacey did a great job of riding in the stroller.  She was happy, happy, happy!

Jake and one of his favorite football players - Manning. 

 Katie concentrates as she races her Hot Wheel.

 Lizzie and Kacey are ready for the museum.

Kelsey raced the Hot Wheels over and over.  She loved it!

Mamaw and Brycen check out a dinosaur.

After a long trip back to the hotel, we enjoyed some snacks, movies and Uno before hitting the beds.

Spring Break 2013

Jacob, Lizzie and I headed to Indianapolis to meet my mom, sister and nieces and nephew for a few days of fun.  The first night was full of swimming and pizza.


Brycen waits on the elevator to take him to the pool.  Love his cammo Bogs!

Kelly and the girls

 Aunt Kelly and the entire crew.

Lizzie tried very hard to get Katie to go under water.  

Girl Scouts

We had the privilege of participating in some pretty cool Girl Scout activities lately.  First, we attended a U of I gymnastics meet.  After the meet, the girls got to practice on the equipment.

Then, Lizzie participated in the Powderpuff Derby.  She designed and painted her car.  She said it was a lot of fun!



Lizzie tries out the balance beam

Wow!  Those bars take lots of arm strength

 Waiting to see how her car places in the heat.

Lizzie with her purple car!


Winter Formal

Zach before Winter Formal.  Which, by the way, he deemed a massive waste of his time and money!


Christmas Pictures

I know it is late, but here are some pictures from our Christmas get-togethers.
