The newest additions to our place have been some honey bees.  Grandpa Maughan likes to bee keep and has been teaching Clara and Marianne.

Happy 60th

We had a picnic and hike for Grandpa Maughan's 60th birthday.  We ended in this dry river bed and everyone had fun playing on the fallen tree.  It was a fun day.

Kaleidoscope

We went to Crown Center while in Kansas City last week.  We took a trip to Kaleidoscope.  It was (and still is) one of the kids favorite activities there.

A Blast From the Past

I found this while looking for some pictures Lea needed for her scrapbook.  Isn't she cute!  I forgot how much she liked to hula hoop.  She had just turned 4 in this video.

Grandpa Arol

We had a fun visit with Grandpa Arol, Uncle Gaylen and Aunt Teresa.  Of course I didn't take any pictures.    James had a great time playing pirates with Uncle Gaylen and I enjoyed our country drive with Mom M and Teresa and even survived the Amish Auction.  James  loved all the horses and buggies.  Mom took some pictures on Saturday before they went home and I'll post them when I get them.

Show Chior

Emma in her show choir concert last week.  This week they went to contest and received a 1 rating for both show choir and concert choir.  :)

Spring Break

James in the rocks at Grandma's.  Their "rock box" is a big hit.

Haley and Clara mowing the lawn.

We had a fun week with the Spriggs and Grandma and Grandpa.  I only have a couple of pictures.  The kids enjoyed playing together outside when the weather was nice enough and swimming inside when it wasn't.
