Playmates

Bjorn and Jaxson
Isn't this picture great? He still is adorable



I do have to say that Bjorn was quite protective of his toys.


Analise loves to be mother hen.
Justen came over so Nathan could fix his and Jen's bikes. So we got to play with Jax.

Science experiment

Our science experiment was to figure out if electricity traveled better in salt water or fresh water. Hannelora guessed right. It was fun having daddy do science, besides it is right up his alley. We have been studying sharks this week and how they caught their prey by detecting electrical signals by movement under water.

We also learned that salt speeded up the rusting process on metal as well. Daddy sure is a good teacher!

When the girls placed the nails in the water, the light bulb lighted up.




Silliness

I believe Cozi or Hannelori took these...
Zeb
Bjorn

Analise
Bjorn constantly has a toy hanging from his mouth



Sebastian put a toy gun on the back of Bjorn, it was is "holster"
I have 2 cowboys at heart....













Daddy's headache

Daddy says he has a migraine, that means a big bad headache
I am tucking daddy in with my hello kitty blanket

Little Red Riding Hood

Our littlest cheering section

Bjorn and Uncle Simon
Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Shena, Uncle Simon, Aunt Beki and friends came to see the play Hannelora was in.

Hannelora is the first, standing in back. She was part of the wolf gang.

Kjersten, Hannelora, Annie and Hannah

Every year MCT (Missoula Children's Theatre) comes to Billings and gives our kids a chance to be in a play. They put it together in one week, memorizing lines and their songs. It is a fun week for Hannelora but very busy. Zeb is excited to do it next year, he think he gets to be Batman..... Hmmmm..... I did tell him they are usually fairy tale stories. He apparently thinks Batman is a fairy tale, ahhhh, how little minds work. Way to go Hannelora, you did a fantastic job!








Our last night of Awana for the year

Sparks
Sarah Grace, Cozi, Hannelora and Kjersten
Sparks- I know it is far away

Cake and ice cream- Brennen and Zeb are Cubbies

mmmm....mmmmm
I am so glad we did Awana, my kids did a wonderful job learning the verses. I am proud to say that I know some as well- a long time goal for myself.... I am also glad that we are done, some free time is much needed!




Silly pictures of Zeb and Bjorn

Who needs a dog? We already have one, he puts everything in his mouth, including crumbs off the floor!

Hmmm... I think someone else wants to take pictures

Easter

Waiting to get their eggs!
We let Analise have a 5 second start...







A walk on the bike path
It was a little breezy, but a very nice day!



Someone didn't make it...


Grandma's easter egg hunt for the kids

Bjorn got to watch this year




Grandma got Zeb some Spiderman slippers

Here is his Spiderman pose

Analise sprays the car

Amazing how entertaining a squirt bottle can be!


The adult easter egg hunt! There is $1 bills in each egg! (Hannelora took the pictures)








It was a relaxing day, we went to church Saturday night. We slept until 7:30 a.m., the kids couldn't stand it much more than that. They hunted for their eggs, had a pancake breakfast, went for a walk, fixed a simple lunch, took naps, then went over to my in-laws.
I love Easter so much, we celebrated it for a week doing projects and thanking Jesus for what He did and continues to do for us.
