So, I am finally here to post something new. I am frustrated with my computer, because it seems to be slowing in its old age. I have been avoiding blogging, because it takes so long for pictures to upload. Finally, I sat down and decided to be patient. A character trait I am constantly trying to develop. Anyway, here are the boys in their swim lessons. They all graduated the last session they were in, so next session will all move up a class. They are all very calm and comfortable in the water, and Brandt and Holden have become quite the little fish. I keep encouraging Brandt to turn out for the swim team, but he is reluctant. I think he thinks it will be a lot of work. Oh well, no more that playing a basketball game. He is currently getting ready for Hoopfest. It brings joy to my heart to be able to watch one of my kids playing in a tournament that I love. I am considering making a comeback next year. We'll see. Anyway, I will continue to get things updated. Enjoy the post.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter. The kids enjoyed hunting Easter eggs and getting into their Easter baskets. We also enjoyed a wonderful family dinner. I posed the kids for a group photo, but I am still working on it. They weren't being all that cooperative. It was a special day to celebrate our Savior, and His resurrection.

Holden's Birthday

We took Holden camping and fishing for his birthday this year. He had a great time and caught several fish. The kids enjoyed climbing the hill that was behind the campsight, and playing in the campfire. We had a very nice night in our heated camper. What a great investment that camper was. I think we are going to use it a lot.

Holden also got an ice cream cake from Cold Stone. Yummy!!!!

Spring break

With the timer set in our car, we clock over 35 hours of car time for spring break. The kids were so good about it. They were all sick and coughing, but were really well behaved. We saw a lot of Montana and Idaho on our drive, and a lot of movies, but we had a great time being together as a family for an entire week. It was nice. Here are a few pictures of stuff we saw on our journey.

The first picture was taken while we were driving, because I wasn't going to stop and extend the trip. It was a gorgeous sun set. The second picture was taken somewhere around Butte. It was just cool snowy hills. The antelope were in a field outside of Billings. They were just hanging out. It was a really large herd.

Holden went to a superhero party, so we made him a superhero costume. It was fun, and he thought it was just fine.

Ainsley had a great birthday party. She was very dainty with her cake. Nothing like her brothers. She enjoyed it, but when she was done, she pushed it off onto the floor. She managed to keep her party dress clean through most of the cake. The only spot on it was from me wiping her off and getting frosting on her dress. She enjoyed opening presents and diving into the bag of ponies she got from Abby. It was a very fun party. It was great to see all the cousins together and playing. Thanks everyone for coming and celebrating Ainsley's first birthday.

Oh a camping we will go

Here are pictures of our "new" tent trailer. It has a heater, so hopefully we will get to camp some more this year.

Pictures of the kids

I've just been taking the kid's birthday pictures. Enjoy.
