Eric baby pictures

While we were in San Antonio, I took some baby pictures of Benny since I haven't seen very many. In some of them it felt like I was looking at a photo of Riser, especially with some of the faces he would make. 


After he knocked out his front tooth.

I love how much Riser looks like his dad, it's so fun to see!

Spring soccer

Another soccer season has come to a close! Bonnie played Spring soccer this year and enjoyed it a lot more than winter soccer. She liked the consistency of practices during the week, games on weekends, her fellow teammates, and being back outdoors. 

Bonnie says she loves soccer and wants to keep playing. She is very fast and pretty good when she is hungry for a goal, and then there are the times she is more interested in the social aspect of it. Either way, she's having fun!


Her and her buddies making a game plan on the sidelines. 


Grandma can come see her play now!

She also loved getting to see one of her besties from school, Ava, on the field on Saturdays.


She ended up scoring a goal on this one. 

She also loved having Benny help coach her team again. It was a great season! Way to go Pink Roses.

Easter

The day after we got home from San Antonio, it was Easter! We were pretty exhausted from the trip, so we knew we would be keeping it pretty simple this year. The kids woke up to their baskets and we had a little indoor egg hunt.


Then we went to church, and of course didn't remember to get a single family photo.


We came back home so everyone could rest a little before going over to mom and Dave's for dinner. It was so sweet she came up with a little egg hunt for them as well, and they loved it!


It was a wonderful Easter!

Backyard camping

Earlier in April Benny and Bonnie decided they wanted to camp in the backyard. I love that they are so into it! They have so much fun doing it.

Soon enough Riser and I will be able to join. He does not do well with late nights yet. 


But we did get to hang out and have s'mores with them.


They said they slept about as well as they could have camping. Benny has decided to accept his age and from now on, if he can have an air mattress - it will be part of camping. 


They had a great time!

April extras

April was a whirlwind month for us. Most of it consisted of our trip to San Antonio, soccer, dance, and Easter - which all will have their own posts. But there were a few pictures from in between all that I've thrown into this post. 

Bonnie's school was cancelled one day and she got to go to Riser's class at church. 

Jumping in puddles anytime it rains. 

I got to take a little field trip to the hospital for work one day to see everything first-hand. This was in the NICU replacing a medical refrigerator. 

We have enjoyed the beautiful weather. 

Bonnie was loving all the dragonflies landing on her.

Eric came to visit for a few days around Easter.

I got to volunteer in Riser's class one day. 

Bonnie made a pretty cool fort.

Notch has returned once again - and we are loving it. 

Some friends and I took the kids to bike in Colonial Williamsburg.

It's been fun to see what has bloomed this year!


That's all for now - will get caught up on everything else soon!
