Carla's Chorus Concert

On May 9th we went to Carla's chorus concert. Before hand was an open house like thing for the 5th and 6th grades. 

A picture of Carla and her home room teachers

Carla & Mr. Murphy her social studies teacher. He asked me to email him the picture. So after I had uploaded it, I emailed it to him. When Carla got home from school the next day she said that she was sitting in class and some of the kids told her to look at the smart board. And what do ya know?! The picture of Carla and Mr. Murphy was being displayed for the whole class to see! :) :)

Sunday Walk

This past Sunday, my family and my uncle and aunts family went for a walk in Tolland. It was a very nice walk. About 1 1/2 hours long.

Crossing the little stream that we came across

Sam found a stick and proceeded to poke his dad in the back :)

Jacob found a bungee cord and put it on his glasses. Once he saw me trying to take a picture, he quickly took it off. :)

A Little Guest

This past Friday and Saturday night, we had a little guest. An extremely cute two year old! I loved having her around, although she woke up Saturday night at 2:40 screaming her head off. She ended up spending the rest of the night in bed with Carla and I.

All in all, she was a very good little girl! :)

Here's some pics (can't forget those!) ;)

Coloring

Soooo cute!!! :)

Visiting the animals

Love this one!

Saturday, we went to a house to help with spring cleaning. Lexi came along and sat in the stroller. After we got home she (along with the rest of us) took a nap.

Here's some more pictures!!

LOVE her hair!

Talking to my dad on the phone :)

Mariah

Mariah came down from VT with Grandpa & Grandma B. Her and Carla had the same spring break. Here are a few pictures.

Rhonda came over for a day

Mariah wearing Evan's clothes

Mom bought the girls matching shirts

And a very cute picture of Mariah

A rainbow

One day, after I got home from school, I was in the process of unlocking the door when I looked out towards the back of the property. On the other side of the Christmas tree field, there was a really bright partial rainbow. 

I quickly unlocked the door, set my stuff inside, ran and got my camera. By the time I came back outside, the rainbow was hardly there anymore :( 

I still went out to the cornfield and tried to get some pictures but it never got as bright as it was before 

An amazingly good picture of our dog. She is a really cute dog, but is hard to get pictures of because she is scared of the camera (among lots of other things) :)

An updated picture of Evan's baby goat

Two posts in a day!

WOW!

I just had to share that I only have 8 more days of school and that's including finals!! :) :) :) :) 

and I'm happy! :)

And since I'm here I might as well share pictures from my Dad's birthday which was April 3rd.

Evan was already in bed so it was just Mom, Carla, and I to sing...so Dad helped out by singing to himself :) You have to turn the volume up pretty high to hear him sing because I was too close to the camera.

His birthday present:

He also likes to say that he got a new birthday suit. Which he did...it is a suit that he got for his birthday, not a birthday suit ;)

Illinois Day 4 & 5

Almost 2 weeks later... ;)

On Monday, we just hung around Grandpa & Grandma's house because Dad was leaving that night. Mom, David, and I went to Big R (I think that's what's its called) and got a John Deere shirt for Evan. Other than that, we didn't do too much.

Dad left mid-afternoon from Grandma's and picked up his cousin that came out with us. After he left, David, Mom, and I left Tremont and headed to Champaign. We had dinner at the Magner's house and then slept over at his apartment. His roommate was gone so Mom and I changed the sheets and slept in his bed. 

Before we went oblivious to the world, we took a walk around the pond at the apartment complex. There is a water fountain in the pond. At night there are blue lights under the water that makes it look really cool. I tried for a picture but it didn't turn out...

This is the best I got

Don't know what happened to this one! :)

Then on Tuesday we got up, ate breakfast, and started cleaning some cupboards in the kitchen

This cupboard that I was cleaning here, was pretty nasty. It had a container of caro syrup and it somehow spilled a long time ago. There was lots of sticky stuff that was all stuck on. :) I had to scrape it out with a metal spatula.

Just an fyi....David stuck the towel in my back pocket not me :)

To see that Mom actually did some cleaning go here.

:) :)

I don't really have any more pictures from our trip so this is it!

See ya!
