So funny how I wanted to update daily and now I am hoping for once a month. So much has been going on.

We had a fun Easter. The kids decorated eggs with some friends and also at Grammy’s house. We had a little egg hunt here. It was so cute-I don’t want the kiddos to grow up.

I also took some pics of the kiddos by the bunny park. Unfortunately I didn’t get a great one of them together. Here is what I got:

It was twin day at school. This is where the kiddos dress the same as a friend. Nikki and Matthew matched in white angry birds shirt borrowed from Mason. Mason and Justin matched in their black bomb shirts. It was cute. Got some really silly pics of Matthew and Nikki:

Nikki and Justin both got reading medals (gold) at school. In addition Justin received a certificate for perfect attendance. During this week Nikki was finally star of the week. She couldn’t wait for this week to come. Unfortunately she got the letter X but we just made some X cookies as the treat at the end of the week. During the awards Nikki was picked to get up in front of everyone and do the pledge of allegiance. I was so sad that I missed it. But everyone said she did so well-I was proud.

As star of the week, Nikki got to bring home Freckles, the stuffed animal frog from the class. We put a picture of her and freckles in the book and wrote this:

Freckles and I had a great time together. When I first got him home, I took him on a tour of our house. He liked my room the best! I was lucky to have Freckles here while my aunt Buffi and cousin Brittany were visiting from New Zealand. I took my relatives and Freckles to watch me at Tae Kwon Do. They all had fun watching me and were really proud of me. He enjoyed watching soccer practice too. Freckles slept in a sleeping bag (his backpack) by my bed. Oh no, Freckles really wants an “X” cookie that we made as the treat for the week. Freckles can’t have one but I can! Hope Freckles can come stay with me again soon. Have fun on your next adventure Freckles. I will miss Freckles.

Lets see school and soccer have been going well. Buffi and Brittany were here visiting over our spring break. The kids had so much fun-it was great to see them with family. I wish they lived closer. We didn’t do too many exciting things with them..just hung out at home, went out for dinner, and they watched the kiddos with their Tae Kwon Do.

Bret has been into a new hobby of remote control planes. This pic is of the first plane since then Bret has moved to a bigger one. He is enjoying the hobby but he did crash his new plane. As I write this it is under repair.

Justin is really loving dads new hobby too!
