What have we been up to lately? Henry has been enjoying yoga cards where each card has a different yoga pose to try. This one is called "bunkbed"


Our tulips are out





Henry bought a new car track with his own money and patiently waited for it to arrive. It came a day early and he was excited for that suprise



Henry helped make cookies



Henry learned how to cut strawberries


Mason got to have his friend Teddy over to play


Lyza had a group of friends from school over to watch the Giver (their class just finished reading the book) and to play games after. They were a spirited bunch!


Soccer last week went well. Nixon's team dominated.



I missed getting his goal on camera but I got his reaction after. Way to go Nixon!


I got to coach another of Henry's games and he tried really hard


Doesn't he look ready to go?


Mason got to be goalie for his game and did great


Even if he was bored at times


He has the straightest leg when he kicks


Look at that smile!


That's the Mason we love



Making some silly faces in is down time


We saw this golf cart at Walmart and Henry thinks we should buy it. I think he should buy it for us!


Kim had some help playing the organ at church last Sunday


I took the boys to the park last Sunday and Mason found this creepie crawlie. It is a Devil's Coach Horse Beetle.


We made a skillet cookie for desert and we were really excited for it to cook


It was delicious


Check out some of the new moves Henry has learned on the trampoline


Henry getting some help folding his socks


Lyza's hair has gotten really long



Doesn't she look cute?



I came home after it was done and without knowing that the cut was going to happen. I didn't notice until I saw what looked like a small mammal in the garbage.


Henry has his eye on a new car track after playing with this one at a friend's house


He even took some car tracks to the park the next day to play with


Nixon had a great soccer game yesterday and scored another goal. His team dominated. I got most of their goals on video.


Mason didn't get to play goalie for the first part of his game that I got to see (before I had to take Henry to our game). He did put in a lot of effort though while I was watching him



Mason impresses everyone with how well he can drop kick the ball, a much coveted skill amongst goalies his age


Then it was off to Henry's game


The after game treats were the best part


Later in the afternoon we hiked Tubb's Hill together. We had to start off with a picture with Mudgie and Millie


Then on top of big rocks



This hike also fulfilled a school assignment Lyza had for Earth Day


She is my favorite hiking buddy (don't tell Henry)





Almost to the end



We made it


Hope you have a wonderful week
