Memorial Weekend

 So I deserve the bad mother of the year award. I didn't pack swim suit because A) I didn't think it would be that warm and B) I didn't think they would want to go in the ICE cold water. 

Well I was wrong, thank goodness there is a Walmart 10 minutes up the road so I could get some suits and towels. They spent ALL day on Saturday in the lake! Less learned ALWAYS bring suits, kids don't mind the freezing cold water ;)

Meet Michael, the fish whisper. For the last 2 years he has sat at the waters edge, net in hand watching the carp swim at the lakes edge. Well he finally managed to catch one in the net, without a fishing pole! Looks like we'll know where to find him this summer.

Thanks to ALL the fallen down sticks we had to clean up, the campfire on Saturday night was HUGE!

There is nothing better than a Sunday afternoon nap on a lawn chair :) Gotta love that fresh air!

Our fire on night 2 wasn't nearly as big, but that made it easy to enjoy a movie by the fire.

Grandpa and Grandma were just at Disneyland. They picked up the kids some maps so they could plan out our trip ahead of time ;) 

These kept them quiet for awhile on our ride home from the island. 

Landon's 1st Communion

The day has finally come for Landon to receive his first communion. He has been learning about it for the last 6 months and today was his day to shine.

The weather was absolutely perfect!

So we were able to get a few good pictures outside.

He patiently waited to tear open the gifts.

And gave us ALL a good laugh when he opened this gift and said  "I got a picture with people I don't know"

The day wouldn't be complete with out cake and cookies.

Easter

The kids had colored eggs the week before Easter while Amy and Bobbi Jo were babysitting, but since I wasn't there to take pics of the final product, we colored another batch the night before Easter :)

Luckily enough for us our families live close together so we were fortunate enough to spend time with both families on Easter. We spent the morning enjoying our time with the Schneider's.

And Arrived at the Krocka's just in time for the egg hunt.
