We are just starting to get smiles,but not on camera unfortunately. Getting them both to smile at the same time will be a miracle and I will surely be posting that picture up when it happens. Just funny faces for now!

Carson had his kindergarden graduation on May 27th. They did a cute program where the kids sang patriotic songs and then they "walked the line" and received a diploma. We are so proud of him and the good student that he was all year!

Easter Fun

The kids sure had fun coloring eggs and decorating our Easter branches. They went on an Easter egg hunt in grandview with their Grandma Merrick too. Lots of Easter fun. With all the festivities they still remembered that Easter is about our Savior "coming to life again."
