April Fools!

Oh man, we so got my dad good this year. It wasn’t on April Fool’s, but it still counts! Mom, Cleve and I threw him a surprise retirement party. He wasn’t expecting anything, but we had around 40 of his former employees/co-workers/and bosses come to the park for a BBQ. The best part was that we flew Reed home for the party! The food was delicious, the decorations were great, but I don’t have pictures to prove it. This picture is the only thing I’m fine remembering. There were tears of joy!

Easter Time

This year for Spring Break, we stayed home; Dave had to travel for work, so the kids and I just did stuff around town. It ended up being so nice to just be home !

We celebrated with family:

On Sunday, we traveled to to Hickory to eat dinner with family. Mom’s cousin happened to be traveling through town, so we had an extra guest.





The kids opened up their Easter surprises. Even Cain got a toy!











Mom filled eggs with change, just like when we were kids.


















We crafted:

We made some cards and flowers for Dorothy’s friend that was in the hospital.






And of course we had to dye some Easter eggs.





















We rode bikes:







Drake learned how to ride without training wheels! Lincoln and Dorothy both got new bikes, because they had outgrown their other ones. Poor Drake got Lincoln’s old bike, but we let him pick out a new helmet!

We played mini golf:








Dorothy just liked dropping the ball in the home. Drake didn’t want to keep score, and worked ahead of us. Amazingly, he kept telling us he was getting holes-in-one 🤔.

We played at Chuck-E-Cheese:

I don’t think I really need to go into any details with this one.







We got treats:

Well, the kids did. Dave took them out one Saturday for cotton candy, and then they crossed the street and had ice cream!



















There were a couple days we had to slow down, because Dorothy got strep throat, but overall, we had a wonderful Spring Break!
