Muffins for Moms

Singing some special songs for the moms!

A close up......Kader drew a picture of me and I had short purple hair. They had to put our age on the picture and there was a range of 15 to 99. I got to be 15!!
We played in the room after the program. Was a fun morning....there is Donuts for Dads in April so stay tuned!

Vinnie's class at Chapel



Vinnie's class "hosted" chapel on Tuesday and they did such a good job...they all picked their characters from the Bible and then they wrote about their characters and memorized their parts....We also found out at conferences last thursday that Vinnie was going to play his guitar for special music. Shawn and I looked at each other with surprise (we rarely know what is going on at school for Vinnie, as he is a boy of few words when it comes to letting us know what is happening) anyway we just smiled and said okay. Vinnie got a guitar for Christmas and has not had one lesson yet he just plays around on it and Shawn has taught him a few chords...so we didn't think he could even read music much less pull off a whole song. Much to our amazement he did wonderful...not missing one chord. My mom thinks he can just play by ear...so maybe we should look into getting him some lessons!!

Spring Showers bring MUDDY MESS!!

The kids checking out the mud sliding down our front yard and onto the road during the rain last Sunday.
We have a nice mixture of clay and black dirt....
The views from our back yard.....we are really excited to have grass hopefully by Summer.
