I am going to take things a little out of order to begin with.
We recently decided to paint all of our rooms except for the bedrooms
Here is the "before" picture of our living room
Before picture of our family room
Kim was a rockstar painting
I leant a hand here and there
This was the most difficult spot to reach
Or maybe this was?
Here is the toy room all finished
Painting in the living room
And the living room all finished
Here are a couple before and after comparisons
We still have to paint the three bathrooms but we are taking a little break for now
Back to the rest of our life:
Mason has been very busy developing his art skills
Kim took the boys to Mobius and they had so much fun
Soccer has been going well for Nixon
Nixon got a goal with his head!
And then another goal
And Henry is also loving soccer
We watched General Conference together
Mason drew a third eye on Henry while he was sleeping
Kim and I both voted in Canada's election (some good that did)
Mason won a basketball at school because he did well in the class' NCAA final four bracket
I love finding Henry reading in the morning
Henry working hard at soccer practice
Nixon was in charge of a room at a STEM night for school
He made Elephant Toothpaste
Nixon's hair got a little too long so it was time for a hair cut
Much better
Kim took Nixon and Lyza to see Hamilton so they had some time to play downtown before
They got some Subway for dinner
Meanwhile Henry and I were feasting on white shells and stir fry
Excited for the show
They had so much fun!
It is really fun watching our boys work so hard playing soccer
Look at that long stride
Perfect form
Nixon had a really bad fall when he stepped on the ball and it took him out of the rest of the game
Nixon's team
This boy also loves playing soccer
Henry with his team
Mason and his team
For a Sunday afternoon we went to a soccer field and practiced shooting on the net
We also played at the park
We had cake waffles for dessert and they were a hit
The next week I got to take Lyza and Nixon to see Hamilton and we had some Red Robin before the show
While we were doing that Kim took the little boys and a friend to go see the Minecraft movie
We had fun at Red Robin
We also check out a book store before the show
Then it was time for the main event
It was a great show
For a young women's activity Lyza got to see a high school production of Pride and Prejudice
Kim took the boys to Triple Play and they had a blast. You are not hallucinating, that is Nixon driving a go kart
Mini golf
Zip line
3D ride
Playing at the water park
And bowling was a blast
Mason needed a rest
They had so much fun
Our ward had an Easter brunch and the kids did an indoor egg hunt since it was raining outside
That afternoon we attended an Easter exhibit at another church building where there were visual depictions of the various stages of the last week of Christ
Then to the library with out favorite popcorn trees
Making resurrection rolls
And the Easter Bunny came on Easter morning
These are perfect for Mason
Yummy monkey bread for breakfast
Lyza asked to get all dolled up for church
The primary sang beautifully
She is so beautiful
These huge balloons were very entertaining
We made a quick trip up to Edmonton for Sydney's wedding. We stopped at Sparwood to stretch our legs and for Nixon to practice his climbing
Slurpees!
Some poutine at Costco
The next day was Sydney and Aiden's wedding at the Edmonton Temple
Waiting for the bride and groom
What a beautiful couple
Lyza stealing the show
It was a warm day so we had to find some shade
What a lovely looking bunch
The reception was decorated so nicely
Burrito bowls were delicious
The shoe game...classic!
The dance afterward was really fun
The prettiest girl at the reception
They bride and groom were sent off with sparklers
A fun fort at Rosie's house
Playing some chess at Grandma and Grandpa Keyes'
Boxing lessons with Uncle Benjamin
Walking Rosie to school in the morning
We went to West Edmonton Mall to show the kids a HUGE mall
The Lego store was really fun
Lyza enjoyed Indigo books
An ice rink in a mall? So Canadian!
There were lots of candy stores
Then we went to the water park
Waiting for the trap door to open and start the near free fall was really scary
We both did it though (multiple times)
We also did this slide with the loop, which was REALLY fun!
Some chips and queso for sustenance
We had so much fun
Then we got to visit at Simon and Rachel's house
And the Wolsey family joined us
Lyza pretending to enjoy playing with Barbies ;)
Two of my sisters
Johannes is such a stud
It was a great trip...until we got a flat tire on the way home. Luckily we were only an hour away from home, our vehicle warned us, we had a spare tire, there was a safe place to pull over and change the tire, and we ultimately got an AMAZING deal on a replacement set of tires. There were definitely some blessing involved in this unexpected event.
And we made it home to our beautiful tulips
Have a great week!
