Strawberry Festival

Well, just an update on life. We are all well and the kids are getting really excited about school ending in about five weeks. They both have music recitals and Elizabeth has her dance recital and just about something on every weekend now until the very end. I don't know where the time has gone, but I know the heat has already arrived so summer can't be far behind. We have already had our first load of fresh strawberries, and we mostly ate them right out of the bucket. Elizabeth also got some Lemons at the Strawberry Festival and came home and made fresh lemonade. It was delicious and we have since had fresh squeezed OJ and more lemonade.

Its a little pricier, but she sure does enjoy doing it. I also made a Strawberry cake for a friend who has not been well. Hope it didn't make her feel worse, haha!

I hope all of you are well and Happy Birthday late to Uncle Terry and early Happy Birthday to Grandma Haimbaugh! Aunt Darlene your next!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 14 YEARS!

David and I celebrated 14 years today, we didn't
have much time together, but before the sun went
down we made it for a walk and got Matthew to
snap this pic. Life is Good even if it is rushed
and busy.

Spring Break!

We stayed busy during Spring Break. Mrs. Shari
visited and we enjoyed a hike at the Greenway, a
trip to the York County Museum, and Carowinds!
We were fortunate to also have beautiful weather
most of the week.

Lots of thinking

going on in this

picture, Huh?

Museum Visit!

Carowinds!

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!

We all dressed our best for Easter Sunday!





























We made some birds nest cupcakes Easter morning
to enjoy after our lunch!














Yeah! Easter Bunny!

Everyone had a good time at the Easter Egg Hunt!

We also tried making brownie pops in the shape of bunnies,
and chicks(above). I saw this on another blog and thought
they would be fun to do, and they were, but ours didn't look
quite as nice as hers did. Oh well they tasted good!
























































We started the holiday weekend dying our Easter eggs.
The kids of course enjoyed this and were patient enough
to get some really nice colors.

Stuffed Shell Dinner

Elizabeth made stuffed shells for dinner one night
and they were really good! She was quite proud
of herself, and I appriciated the help in the kitchen
with the dinner thing.

Matthews B-day gifts put to use!

Matthew loves his new B-Ball goal. Thanks Mimi
and Pappy!














Matthew has his B-day trains all set up out in the
big garage and the barn too!

Uncle Russy Visits

We got one picture snapped during our surprise
visit from Uncle Russy!














We were happily surprised to get a phone call
from Uncle Russy that he was in SC. David went
and picked him up for a short visit at the house
and then they went back and had dinner at the
Truck stop. Thanks for the visit Uncle Russy
it meant a lot.

Matthews Love for Trains

Matthew found this little train at Mimis and Pappys

and found that it had a great shadow cast across our

floor when it chugged thru the dinning room.

Enjoying a Cool Day! Not Inside but not Outside!

Elizabeth enjoying a little reading in her play house
now that it is more tween friendly!















































Matthew joined in on the reading too!















































I had recently painted the inside of her playhouse
as it hadn't gotten much use when it was set up
for kitchen play. It is now set up for reading and
hanging out.

The Making of the Train Cake!

I made the cake the night before and the kids

decorated it with candies and icing.
