Run for Fitness

May Street school had a Run for Fitness challenge for the kiddos

this week and last week. They ran laps and collected punches 

on their punch card for 4 days. I received several compliments from

teachers and other parents about the endurance both

Barker and Kingston had! Proud Mommy moment for sure :)

It's hard to contain

how happy this makes my heart feel when I come home 

from work at 9pm and find them like this!!!

If Spike could climb a ladder, I'm sure he'd be up there too! ;)

Easter Weekend fun at Grandma & Grandpa's

Always so many fun activities and wonderful memories

when we get to go to Grandma and Grandpa's!!!

Thank you for a most excellent weekend, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Minors league

Barker is playing in Minors this year, which means the players pitch

to each other. It can make for innings with many 'walks'

but you can see in these 2 videos, Barker is hungry for a HIT!!!

Kingston's Spring concert!

Due to a baseball game scheduling conflict,

Barker had to skip his Spring concert...

but Kingston more than made up for only one Bolland boy being present

and sang his heart out! So much so that many people (including

one of the music instructors) made a comment afterwards

about how fun Kingston was to watch!!!

GO KINGSTON!!!

Funyun love

Kingston found Mama's favorite thing in the chip bag

last weekend...a heart!

"Quick mom, take a picture! I can't wait too much longer

because my tummy wants to eat it!"

A swinging good time!

More fun from our weekend

at Wilson Park with Nana, Uncle B and Colton!

It was such a wonderful weekend filled with laughs and great

memories - goodbyes were tough as always, but

we are looking forward to our next adventure together this Summer!

G-Pa, Nana, Uncle B and Colton came for a visit...

 so Easter came early!

We did all the Easter-y things.

We dyed the eggs.

We hunted the eggs.

We had Easter dinner.

And had so much fun in between!

Doesn't get much better than this

Taking turns reading to each other and putting the wild dog to sleep 

in the process!

silly reel with Brody

More Spring, more skate park!

Some footage from another great Spring day at the skate park!

Kiddo swap

Kingston and Ryder are on the same coach pitch team, so he came over 

after practice for some fun! 

Barker and Brycen (Ryder's big brother)

are on the same minors team so he went home with Brycen's family

for some fun!

It was a perfect swap-at least for us.

No arguing or screaming. Just playing and laughing.

Hopefully Barker was as good for them as Ryder was for us!!

Just a casual rock climb

in flip flops.

on the difficult side.

to make mommy's nerves do jumping jacks.

no big deal.

Cole is 1!

 Happy first Birthday Cole!

Since we will be missing his party this weekend, we 

snuck in some snuggles and fun last weekend at the 

trampoline park!

 Kingston, Lily and Barker chomping down between bounces...

Cole James...you are delicious!

Homecoming!

Yay! our new cousins were coming home from the hospital last weekend!

We were headed to welcome them home. But first...we must prepare the gifts!

As I was packing, Barker on his own accord decided he wanted

to bring gifts to each of the twins and also for big sis Meredith.

So here they are packing and wrapping!

When we arrived we masked up due to our lingering cough, but then

jumped right in and got to feed and snuggle with Luke!

We were so smitten!

Grandma was there too, so of course that made the trip that much better!

Already cracking jokes together!!!

Evalind and Lucas Bolland.

Whispering secrets and saying their prayers...
