My Snapshots

What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:

Gv qualified to compete at the district level for her presentation and talent for 4-H, and won blue ribbons for both!

Annual family Easter photo.

What Saturday mornings look like when your mom has to be on the ice at 6:30!

Because some days call for bunny slippers and a Christmas sweater!

And that wraps up April! I wonder what next month has in store for us...

My Snapshots

What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:

We continue to try and eek out every cent from our year of having a pass here. Epcot has this big arts festival every year, but we were underwhelmed by it all -- except for the amazing chalk art!

These giant pictures were you could "become" the painting were fun, too!

It was state fair time and I had to miss pretty much the whole day for work, but I was luckily able to meet the group there just in time for the judging of the baking. Gv entered 3 baked items and won 1st place for her orange donuts!

Our new little bike rider continues to get out on her wheels every day, but we had a blast loading up the bikes and hitting a local bike trail for the first time as a family. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again before it gets too hot!

Back at Disney, but this time exploring Animal Kingdom. We had a fun, silly day.

Headed back to our car after a Disney day and discovered this cute little guy waiting for us. I wondered if it was like the Jeep duck thing and discovered later when I looked it up that it IS! It's called "Moo Moo Subaru" and so now I'm wanting to get in on the action - I found these cuties, but I have to say that I'm really fond of this guy...

We've still been struggling to get back to our weekly family board game habit, but at least we're doing better than last year. This is a newer game for us, so we're still all figuring out our strategy with it...

Gv and I have now gone twice just the two of us, and this past time was the best day together yet!

Gv's best friend has always had passes, so when we got ours, she immediately started planning a trip over there with him. That day finally came and it was a dream come true!

Only a few more years until these two are driving around together for real!

And that wraps up February and March! I wonder what next month has in store for us...
