Spring Snow

If any of you have been watching the weather here in the Midwest, we have been dumped on with snow. Yesterday about noon started the freezing rain. The first picture of the "snow" that I put on here is actually all freezing rain. It was crazy. Jasmine absolutely refused to go outside, but Mia went out there if the kids were out there. School got out early for everyone, but Wichita. However, Richard and the kids made it home safely so that is good. When we got up this morning it was snowing more. It has now stopped and everything is melting. It has just been weird. One side of our garage door is frozen shut. The other side opens though. Leann and Ryan came over to visit. They brought me some presents from Italy!! Yahooo!! We also got to try some candy. It was very good. It seems like a long time since we have seen them. I got a picture of Isabelle. I am not sure how since I don't remember taking it while they were here. But I am putting it on the blog anyway. Hope you all are enjoying the day!

Mom W Visits

This last week was our spring break. It was very busy for us. Richard's mom came to visit us from Washington. We haven't seen that side of the family for almost 8 years. So we took her to the zoo here. I think that we got some great pictures of all of us. By the end of the zoo we were all exhausted. It was nice to see her again. The kids were a little shy around her at first since Aaron was only 3 months old when he saw her and Jacob has never met her. Then yesterday was the craft fair at church. Rebekah and I went and helped set up Thursday and Friday. Then yesterday we went to the church at 7:00am. We didn't leave until 6:00pm. That was a really long day, but totally worth it. We raised a lot of money for the Cap Haitien Orphanage. I was the announcer for the door prizes. I had to use a microphone and everything. It was a little scary at first, but it was fun. I will definitely do it again next year. We have only a few more weeks of school left. I can't believe it is almost done. Anyway, hope you all have been having a wonderful day. Love you all!

Aaron's 8th Birthday

Aaron had a great birthday. He got 3 video games and a goosebumps book. He loved it. We also went out to eat at our favorite Chinese restaurant. It was a lot of fun. It was weird not having any of the cousins over, but they were all in Nebraska (or Washington). So it was just us. Richard's mom is here this week so we have been busy. I will be putting up pictures on the blog after she leaves on Saturday. This is our spring break. It has been nice not having to worry about getting up early in the morning. This weekend is our craft fair at church which I am helping with. I am in charge of the door prizes. This means I have to announce the winners in a microphone! AAAAHHHGGGG!! Rebekah and Alyssa are going to be giving out the tickets. It is going to be fun. Have a wonderful week everyone! Today was Richard and my 14th anniversary. I can't believe that it has been that long. Bye!
