It's time for summer, right?!


Macy and Nicholas couldn't wait for a day warmer than yesterday's 70 degrees to play in the sprinklers! It was a NOW activity! They took off their clothes and turned on the sprinkler and ran for it. Obviously, it didn't last much longer than 15-20 minutes but hey, they loved it. Of course,  all the while wishing summer was here already. 

Ethan turns NINE!!

Ethan Jed has turned 9! What a great kid! Ethan is full of life and is always "up for a challenge", as Sarah says, and good fun. We went around the family to say what each of us appreciate about Ethan and one thing we all agreed on is Ethan is a sensitive, loving boy. He is also VERY strong!  He can climb the rope at gym to the top of the warehouse building without using his legs. Happy Birthday Ethan!

A few days at Zermott Resort for Spring Break!

We had a wonderful two days at Zermott in Midway. Swimming was the activity of choice both days. We had a very relaxing time, playing with the children and enjoying some quality family time. We were able to visit with Jed's high school buddy Oliver Button - it's been years - and get caught up.  The kids call Oliver, Uncle Ollie every time we see him. After Zermott we went home to pull out the good 'ole dirtbikes!
Sarah Jane had crazy hair day at school and she got creative! She put a few of her littlest pet shop animals in her nicely-put-together-bun. Isn't she darling?! 
Sarah had to go to the doctor to x-ray her left foot. Come to find out - there is a break! So she is out of gymnastics for a month. She was concerned that she wouldn't be able to run in the Hersheys Track Meet in May but the doctor told her she could do it IF her foot is feeling better.  She signed up this week - she obviously plans to run! :-) Good luck Sarah!

What yawning on the job!

Despite the looks of it, Emily is actually playing some awesome volleyball. Our last tournament was last weekend and we took first in the Gold Division! Emily, over the course, of the tourney had over 25 service aces and several great plays to help us end up on top. The team is making such great progress. I'm thrilled that they played so well as a team to accomplish this. :) Way to go Vipers!
