Mac got a new collar! Allie has really been into making little rubber band bracelets lately. She felt bad for Mac that he outgrew his collar, and thought he really needed one. So, she got to work and made him his own rubber band necklace collar. 

What a sweetie! Looks great, Allie!

Happy Birthday, Brandie!

We are so grateful for your life and pray this is a special birthday and year for you!

Lunch Notes

Last week I was incredibly blessed.
As soon as I picked up Rob and Allie from school (and we were heading to get Marcus at his school) they were so excited to tell me Marcus put a note in each of their lunches! They were so happy and surprised. I have to say that I was too. 

Marcus has been a blessing by getting up earlier and making all three of their lunches. I had no idea he was going to put notes in their lunches. I was so touched by his little act of kindness to his younger brother and sister. 

It totally made their day and mine too!

Wrapping Up March

Time is flying by and I'm so behind on blogging about our life, that I'm making this brief...

Friends of ours invited our family to go with them to St. George, Utah for a family trip.

Lots of fun...
hiking, bike ride, tennis, batting practice, swimming, golf, a water balloon fight...

I chaperoned Rob's class field trip to the Children's Museum. We took the TRAX which was a fun experience! 

Allie was told that she could move up to Competition Level 2! She has been in gymnastics for one year and has improved so much. She is constantly doing kart wheels, round offs and hand stands in the living room!

Rob and Allie had a day off from school so we went to tour a local candy factory.

Josh and I picked up the kids from school on the last day of March and took them to Jamba Juice. We found out after all these years that there's a secret menu!! Wonder what the drink "ThankyouJesus" tastes like...probably the best one they offer!

From Jamba Juice we went to the driving range for family golf practice...I love how Rob puts a tee behind his ear! Too cute!

Full House

We were so blessed to have the Neos family come and visit us for about a week right after Josh and I got home from Santa Monica in March. 

The kids filled every moment they could by playing together! I love how close our kids are even though they don't get to see each other very often.
