Business Day

  Kabree's 3rd grade class had a business day.  Each student was responsible for coming up with a business plan to either offer a product or a service.  Each student was also given $4(play money) to practice being a consumer as well.  Kabree was so excited the second she found out about it she wanted to start planning and working on it.  She decided she wanted to make stress balls.  She jumped right in and got to work.  She did great and worked so hard.  She made 50 stress balls but gave away 20, she was so excited anytime someone came over she had to give them one lol.
  She was so excited that she SOLD OUT and won sales for her class!  She did decide part way into it to lower her price to $.50 each.  She made the most money coming in with $12.30 (don't ask how she got that amount because she isn't sure how that happened either lol).  She was pretty happy with her purchases as well, she got a rock necklace, slime, bookmark, a squishy toy and treats.
  Kabree had so much fun with this whole experience, Keagan is already talking about when she hits the 3rd grade.

Happy Easter

  Easter is usually my favorite holiday.  I love the season,  the hiding of eggs, family, the reason we celebrate it, everything!  This year was just off.  It was a very rough Easter and nothing went as planned or well for that matter but the girls had fun and that's all that really matters.  I'm still grateful and humbled for all that my Savior has done for me.

  The girls woke up to see their baskets and find eggs.  They were excited to get jump ropes (lets hope this time goes better than last time) and mermaid snap bracelets.  We attempted to watch General Conference but within the first 5 minutes the girls broke the dresser drawer and Zach then spent the next hour fixing it while listening to conference.  Kabree also got hit/snapped in the eye with Keagans snap bracelet. We did enjoy our Easter meal of ham, funeral potatoes, rolls (Kabree made the rolls), salad and jell-o cake.   The second session went a little better and even through the chaos we did feel the spirit and learned from our leaders. 

Ward Easter Party

  Zach and Matt headed to Arbon to paintball in the morning (thanks Shay for the pictures).  Heather and I came out later just for the lunch and the egg hunt.  The girls loved seeing and playing with cousins and thought it was pretty great that Grandpa Vance let them shoot his paintball gun for a few minutes. 

 The Golden Egg winners!!!

Dying Easter Eggs

  We finally got around to dying Easter Eggs!  We decided to try the shaving cream tie dye method and it would have worked great if I would have followed the directions completely ;).  But even with our slight flop we still had fun and now we know for next year :).

Resurrection Rolls

 "But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory,

and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ..."

Mosiah 16:18

 We did our annual Resurrection Rolls family home evening.  I love hearing how much the girls remember as well as their thoughts and feelings about our Savior, his atonement and ressucection.  

Kabree - I know that Jesus loves me because he was the only one willing to die for us and give God the glory.

Keagan - I know Jesus loves me because he suffered for us at the tree.  He made it so we could be happy.

"He is risen"

Saint Patrick's Day

  This year the girls woke up to a fun surprise from a friendly Leprechaun, a scavenger hunt!  He left them their favorite green treats of sour cream and onion chips, watermelon gum, skittles and glow sticks!
