Jordan thought it would be an excellent idea to shave his head. He said he wanted to see the shape of his head. I told him I could have saved him from looking retarded and told him it was round😊
We finally got to experience the new trampoline place in town. It was amazing. Austyn is attempting to walk a tight rope which is over a huge mat. This place was filled with all sorts and sizes of trampolines. My favorite were the ones that ran up the wall. It had great big foam pits to jump in too. Great place for all ages.
My parents on one of their little quad finds ended up with this adorable motorcycle. Quade has claimed it as his. And he thought it needed to be cleaned after he rode it.
This is the outfit Quade would choose everyday. Undies with rubber boot (no socks). THATS IT! Not the ideal riding attire, but he's happy.
When I wanted a boy this is the picture I had in my mind. Laying on his tummy in his undies playing with trucks (quads will do). My heart is so happy.
She is the best. So glad she is in my kids lives like she was in mine.
Fishing with his Daddy. Pretty cute if I do say so myself😊
Here's a funny story😣 One day I was picking Chocolate Chips pen and decided to brush her so I walked through the gate and closed it behind me (not latching it) and before I could blink she was out and running through the hay field. Every time I got close to her she'd put her tail up and run. She did this until she got to the farthest possible corner away. Then she just walked right to me and let me catch her😤 Needless to say, the field was VERY wet along with my shoes and pants. I had in the mean time called Jordan to come help me catch her so he picked me up on the quad and we lead her back to the barn.
We took the kids to Hentzes for an Easter egg hunt. It was so cute. There was barely anyone there and the kids had a blast. After that Jordan took the kids to a friends place for another little hunt while I made a dish for a family Easter get together. 
Showed the kids some alligators on our walk around the golf course. They loved it. 
Easter morning!
So after they found eggs and their baskets at home our good friend who lives at our old house called the kids and said that the Easter bunny forgot they had moved and he had hid eggs and presents all over the place. It was so amazing. Lucky kids.
After the two hunts we were off to Easter in Albany with Jordan's Grandparents. It was so much fun. The food was great, everyone was there, and the weather was perfect for the kids. Couldn't have been better.
Oh the great help I get folding clothes.
Ok how amazing is this?! This is my moms wedding dress. Austyn has been asking to wear it forever and my Grandma was watching the kids one day and I came back to find this. The funny thing about this is that everything fit Austyn perfectly except for the length.
I babysit on Mondays and I had an extra this Monday. Needless to say we had an all boy day!
We got to go see the Garth Brooks concert!! It was so much fun.
Helping some friends work their sheep. The kids had so much fun.
My mom and I took the kids to Wildlife Safari while the boys went over East to shoot. We had the best time ever. The animals were all out and so close. Quade was wild about these bears. He is crazy about bears.
And this is him with his pack on and gun ready for his bear hunt.
That's it for the last month of pictures. So a quick run down on everyone:
Austyn is starting t-ball soon. She is very excited about it. Usually after the first practice she's over it, but we will see. She is over school for the year. Once the sun starts coming out consistently it's so hard to get her to go to school. She's also very excited for the pet parade this year. She will be going as an Indian and dressing Chocolate Chip up as her Indian horse. It's going to be cute. I haven't decided if I'm going to have Quade do it or not. It's an awful long walk for him. I was thinking about making him a Trapper and leading the two mini donkeys with furs on them. We will see how motivated I get. 😉
Quade is so good at talking. Amazing how much clearer he is in just a couple months since his Birthday. He is still struggling a little bit with the control issue, but is so much better. I'm expecting it to keep getting better and better. But man he sure gave us a run for our money for awhile there. He still loves to ride anything with a motor and pretend to hunt alligators,cougars, bears, and wolves.
Jordan had started physical therapy for his shoulder and hopefully it will take care of the issue so he can avoid surgery. Only time will tell. He has gotten his "new to him" truck all fixed up and road worthy. Just waiting for some paperwork and then he will be rollin in his new ride.
Same ole same ole for me. Austyn and I planted our flowers and I've been just soaking up the time with the kids. My mom has always told me that every stage has been her favorite with her kids (us). I'm hoping she's right (always is) because I couldn't imagine it being better than it is right now with the kids. I can honestly say I've loved every stage with the kids so far. Except of course those rough few weeks with Quade. But I wouldn't take those back because I learned so much about him and myself during that time. Summer is going to be the best one yet. I can already tell. We have our camping trips planned. And hopefully we will get some projects done around the house this summer. I'm hoping it will be a bit more laid back than last year. But I know as well as you that that probably won't happen.
Hope everyone is getting ramped up for summer.
