April

We met some people Derek work with at a restaurant on the water. 

 Ivy likes to help daddy navigate.

On the way back the pelicans met us at the ramp.

 Must have been a good day on the water as 3 of the 4 were sleeping when we got back:)

 There was a classic car show in St. Pete that we headed over to with Aunt Pam, Uncle Phil, and Salina.

 Can you see Derek driving this?

 If you notice Levi he slept through the whole thing and by the end had a fever of around 103.  This started a week of strep throat that passed through each of the kiddos.

 This was a Parican Falcon.  They have learned about it from a TV show and Toby thought it was so cool to see it!

 Scoping out an RV.

 Ivy wanted a birds eye view.

Strep throat wore them out.

Toby didn't even want icecream!!

 My chart to give 4 children 4 different doses of medicine starting at 3 different times!

Toby loving his puppy wuppy!

 IceCream anyone.

 Mya participated in the AWANA Grand Prix.

 Her's crossed the finish line first!

 Think she was excited:)

 and 1st place goes to...

 MYA!!

 Thanks to the skills of her daddy...and she said the Packer Hat from Grandma and Grandpa Blaubach she got that day helped too she said:)

Mya fell asleep reading the Bible one night.

 Sisters, Sisters, there were never such devoted sisters:)

 For the 1st time we dyed eggs with the kids.

 They loved it!!

and I discovered they actually like hard boiled eggs...well the white part anyways.

 Grandma Stock sent Mya a sewing kit that she enjoyed making little blankets.

 Derek had off on Good Friday and we took the kids bowling.

Mya was trying to "help" Toby understand how to throw the ball. 

 Don't be fooled...Toby and Levi used a thing that guided the ball down the middle of the lane. 

 A Easter card Mya made for her AWANA teacher.

Happy Easter.

 Waiting patiently for their Easter Baskets.

Ivy couldn't get the Jelly Beans out of the eggs fast enough!

 Mya got a diary.

 Levi had been asking for a chocolate bunny for weeks!

 and Toby loved getting silly string!

 Our yummy Easter lunch!

Playing with the silly string.

 Later we went to Aunt Pam and Uncle Phil's and Aunt Linda and Uncle Dennis were there too!  Ivy took a little break to read a magazine:)

 A turtle we saw on the way home

 and some pretty flowers in our front yard.

Later that week Derek was able to take a day off and we all went out on the boat!!  It was a beautiful day very relaxing!

 We ate at a fun little restaurant and got a picture all together.

 Ivy was excited to eat!

We also went out another day with the Guenthers after church.  The guys tried to go spear fishing but it was too windy.  

Ocean sunsets are the best!

Ms. Ivy was getting mad she couldn't get all the way up on the chair:)

 We went to Taco Bell one day and this guy was in the mood for Taco's too!

 Chelsea and Ivy.

 Ivy was pretty excited to sit at the big table at the mall.

 The kids having fun playing in the rain.

 Why the blue face...playing with chalk:)

 Mya doing a puppet show for the kids.

 Mya got her 1st Library card!!

 Toby decided he needed to pack for WI.  He is very excited to go to Grandma's house!!
