A baby boy DONKEY that is!! On Friday, Sophie had a baby boy donkey, which mom named "Little Mike." Last year, Sophie had a baby girl donkey, which we call baby Karen. The girls love to see all the animals, but especially the baby animals are their favorite.

First Communion
Today my niece, Bailey, had her First Communion. I am thankful that Chad is Catholic, which allowed us to be Bailey's Godparents. She is growing up into a beautiful young lady and all I could think about as I saw her in that dress and her hair done up standing at the alter, was her wedding. Wow! What will that day be like?? It was a great day to just relax, let the kids play, and enjoy visiting with family. Congrats Bailey! We are very proud of you.
Bailey looked so pretty.

Spring Colors
Sunday morning we took a long family walk around the neighborhood so I could take some beautiful Spring pictures. Spring time in Kansas doesn't last long and usually brings strong and scary thunderstorms, but today it was nice to just enjoy the scenery.

Tulips are my favorite.

Easter
Easter brought with it warmer weather, sunny days, and the excitement of Spring. Campbell was a bit cautious in regards to the Easter Bunny, but she convinced herself that he was just a "bunny" and she would indeed stand by him in the annual Easter picture and even enjoyed reading bedtime stories about him. Cooper enjoys the crafts and attention that family holidays bring. Egg coloring was fun and the girls were quite creative in their designs. To the girls' surprise the Easter Bunny hid his eggs outside this year. So after discovering the goodies in their baskets, they were confused and bewildered as to where to find the eggs. The egg hunt was fun to watch and both girls found SOOO many eggs. It was a blessed Easter shared with family.

Easter with Friends in Herington
The Saturday before Easter I took the girls and a friend of Cooper's to Herington. We ate lunch at the Gridiron Cafe in Hope (my mom & stepdad's new cafe). After lunch we headed to the big Easter egg hunt in the Herington City Park. All the kids found a basket full of eggs. Some eggs won prizes including stuffed animals, gold dollar coins, and of course lots of candy. We went to Kelly's house to rest a bit and sort through the loot. Finally we ended up at my mom's house where the girls played outside in the playhouse. They were patient while I helped mom do some computer work. As promised we ended the day at mom's resort feeding the horse, pony, and donkeys. Everyone had a great time!
