Cheesy Meat Buns

 

For linger longer after Church I made some cheesy meat buns. They were delicious!

Puppysitting

 

We're puppysitting Chuan Chuan's little teacup poodles for her while she's away.

The kids like to fight over them so we have to enforce taking turns.

Kiki and Coco are such calm, quiet dogs, and very soft too!

They're hypo-allergenic so it's possible for us to have them over at our house in the first place.

Aubrey loves picking flowers in the garden.

Sometimes she picks things that she shouldn't, so we have to keep an eye on her.

Looks like Hailey found a new reading nook.

Out Camping

 

The kids love going camping so, before Spring Break is over, we found an available spot at O'Neill Regional Park and went camping.

The older 2 are learning how to set up a tent, make a fire, etc.

Grabbing some wood for our fire.

Heading out to explore around the stream.

The next morning we ate and went off exploring.

Bridge crew.

Such a fun day camping.

Greenhouse

After a few weeks of work with Harold, we finally finished building a greenhouse in the backyard.

And Jeni finished it off with some new flowers and tomato plants.

Happy Easter!

 

It's Easter today and the kids have lots of goodies!

Hailey

Evan

James

Aubrey

And some additional fun treats and decorations.

Checking out their books.

And treats.

The boys did a little Lego building before Church.

Now that's a good-looking group right there!

Time for Church!

After Church we had a fun Easter activity, building an edible empty tomb.

Good job, Aubrey.

Hailey included some rocks on the sides of her tomb.

Evan incorporated some rocks and a Reese's egg.

That was a lot of fun. And afterward, the kids ate their creations!

Happy Birthday, James

It's James' 7th birthday today!

After Church, James unwrapped his presents.

James loves ninja fighting - with or without weapons.

Watch out, here comes James.

James loves foxes. He wears his fox hoodie all the time.

Now he has this Minecraft Fox Lodge set.

He's so funny; he gets really into it.

We often see James outside by himself, ninja fighting.

Ready to carve the turkey.

Oh dear.

A dinosaur cake for our birthday boy.
