Digging a hole

We decided to put our trampoline in the ground. Wade got to play on a tractor for a few days- It was a huge project, but Wade had a grin on his face the whole time. Kenra was Daddy's big helper.
We also moved our shed across the yard. It was so entertaining (and scary) to watch. We are going to put a garden where the shed used to be.
Mission Accomplished!

Happy Day!

When we were first married Wade was going to S.L.C.C. where he got his Associates degree. After that he decided he wanted to be an Electrician. It is a four year program where you go to school two nights a week from 7-10. You also have to have 8,000 apprenticeship hours before you can take the Journeyman test. Wade will have his 8,000 in August.
Wade has been going to school since we have been married. It is going to be so awesome to have him home more now. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU DAD!
This is a picture of Wade driving off to school for the last time EVER!

Easter weekend

We had a fun Easter filled with several egg hunts (5), lots of friends, family, and food!
Kenra started getting very selective in her egg hunting. At my Grandma's house she would only pick the pink eggs.
Easter Sunday was nice. Miley was pretty ticked part of the day because her Easter dress was so long and puffy that she coundn't crawl in it. It was nice at church though because she couldn't crawl away from us.
Saturday night Kenra was cracking us up. She had so many questions about the Easter Bunny.
Does the Easter Bunny have hands?
Does the Easter Bunny live by Santa?
How tall is the Easter Bunny?
Does the Easter Bunny brush his teeth?
What does his toothbrush look like?
-Based on our answers she probably has a pretty creepy image of what the Easter Bunny looks like.
My aunt has a huge yard and every year she has this massive egg hunt. It always starts out with a tug of war.
Miley loves to play with the eggs. Kenra was so sweet and would help her find them.
GO KENRA GO!
On Easter morning Kenra was the egg finderMiley was the egg organizer.
I love shopping for Easter dresses.
At my Grandma's house there is always a mad dash out the door (she puts $5.00 in the eggs so you have to be quick.)Our final egg hunt was at Grandma and Grandpa Ashby's house.

Nice girl

I have been trying to teach Kenra that it is important to always be a nice girl because it makes me happy, and it also makes Jesus happy. A few days after we had this little talk we had this conversation:
Kenra- Mom, does Jesus live next door to us?
Me- No, why?
Kenra- How does he know if I'm being nice?
Me- He watches us from Heaven.
Kenra- Then does he tell Santa if we be good?

My little snow angel


So we got like 2 inches of snow the other day, and when Keni woke up in the morning she was dieing to go out and play in it. Of course 3 minutes after I got all her snow gear on she had to go to the bathroom!

The Aquarium





I was able to go with Kenra's pre-school class to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was fun to see Kenra and the other kids in her class socialize.

Chocolate monsters

Friday night we were sitting around wondering what to do. Kenra suggested that we should go get a treat. She picked some Kit-Kats for her and Miley. They were quiet for a long time. It was nice.
Miley gives Kit-Kats a thumbs up!
