Happy Easter!!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday. Ours was great. The morning started off with the kids finding their Easter baskets and then hunting for all of the hidden eggs in the house. Then it was a rush to get ready for church. We made it in time to get seats (thank goodness!). After church we went to lunch and then came home to dye Easter eggs! A beautiful and blessed day!

Nora-in-the-box

You've heard of jack-in-the-box BUT have you heard of Nora-in-the-box??

Nora was playing around in the kitchen the other day and she got an empty box of diapers and put it on her head and was running around to everyone and then trying to scare us by saying "Rarhhh!". The funniest part was seeing her little eyes looking through the hole in the side! We were rolling!

It's beginning to look a lot like SPRING???

Well, just when you are ready to put away all of those winter clothes and welcome spring....you get snow. Mother Nature definitely has a sense of humor! So here are some pics of Hannah and Kennedy having a snowball fight and Nora trying to figure out what all that white stuff was. (She kept trying to eat it!)

Baby Nora

Here are some recent pics of Nora. She is such a funny girl. She is always happy and smiling and I can't get enough! She is talking up a storm and always singing new songs that she learns at school. She loves to be outside (not like her mommy!). She is a very good mommy to her babies and she loves petting Oliver, one of our kitties (Orea won't come near her!). Oh, and if her shoes are velcro - she will spend up to 30 minutes in a trance like state taking them off and then putting them back on again (usually on the wrong foot!). Enjoy the pics!

What a GAME!

Well tonight was our last basketball game of the season and I have to say, we went out BIG! Our team is small (we only have 6 players) and this is our first year together as a team. Some of the girls have played before and some are brand new to the sport. Well going into tonight's game we were 3 and 3. I really didn't think we would win the game. We were playing a good team. 4 of the players on the team were Kennedy's soccer teammates! We were behind the entire game. Going into the 4th quarter we were down 4 to 10. We told the girls that we only needed 3 baskets to tie it up and we had to hold them and not let them score. Well, Jordan got fouled on a shot and it went in (2 points). She made one of her free throws (1 point). Then we got another basket (2 points) so it was a close game at 9 to 10 but we were still down one point and there was 30 seconds left on the clock. Well Kennedy came up with the ball and brought it down and scored with about 7 seconds left on the clock. Time ran out and we WON! We were all screaming and jumping up and down we were so excited! So now we are in second place in the league and we have a tournament coming up on Tuesday that we might very well win!

Horray for the underdogs!
