Spring Is Here!!!

Corbin, Piper & JoAnna selling goodies at our huge garage sale we had last Saturday. The kids had a lot of fun and they were pretty excited about the money they made.
The kids and I went on a hike up Mink Creek last Sunday after church. Scott was gone on his road bike trip to Arizona and it was such a beautiful day that I had do something fun outside with my fam.
My mom, Linda, came with us. I was surprised at the amount of snow still left on the trail. It felt good to be outside. The trees were almost ready to bloom with leaves.
Jo, Stetson and Gram. I took my pack for Stetson, but he ended up walking almost the entire time. He loved it! He's my natural little hiker.

A week before Easter, Houston was riding his motorcycle with his full-face helmet on. His foot peg dug into the grass and he slammed down so hard that some how his tooth was shoved strait up into his gum. There was blood allover and we thought that his tooth had been busted out. Poor guy! The dentist thought that his tooth would come down on its own, but it hasn't, so he has to go into the orthodontist this week to see what needs to be done. He's had such a positive attitude about it all. He just keeps on smiling!
All 5 of the Phippen kids were able to spend a couple days with us while Lori and JD got to spend some R&R time together. Here we all are doing a craft. The kids had a BLAST being together. 9 kids can be a little crazy at times, but it was all worth it! I love these kids!
Ashlynn & Stetson loved to color.
Here's a rare moment when Stetson is not running from Ashlynn. (smile.)

Lets Cook! On this particular Saturday it was yucky weather and the kids were bored to death. So - we decided to have a cooking contest. I got out all the different ingredients and let them create whatever they wanted.
They had a BLAST! I was amazed at their awesome cooking skills. Everything they made turned out pretty darn good. I have a feeling I some future chefs on my hands!
