Randomness from April (and part of March)

We have been doing so much yard/house work it's ridiculous!If I would have known how much stuff needed to be fixed on this house and yard, I would have bought a different house. Seriously, we spend so much time and money on trying to fix things up and it's so discouraging because it still doesn't look nice. It's like that Money Pit movie.

But anyway, one day Matt came in holding this power tool triumphantly in the air saying, "Holy cow! I love this saw!" I laughed so hard, it was funny!

Emmy completed the spring reading program at the library and earned herself 3 In-N-Out certificates. She is turning into such a good little reader. And she'll do anything for a prize. She is currently on reading level 9. I don't really know what that means except that she's supposed to be at level 5 when she's done with kindergarten, so she's ahead of where she needs to be to pass kindergarten. Phew! :)

I though I was hilarious by having this written on Matt's birthday Costco cake. He is obsessed with Costco cake and so I surprised him with one. We have half of it in the freezer. Ha!

The kids were more excited about his cake than he was.

I help in Emmy's class once a month. Here they are making tulip crowns for their spring party. I have really loved Emmy's school and her teacher.

The palm trees at In-N-Out kill me.

We may or may not have gone to In-N-Out to drown our sorrows because we were sad about not being able to be with family for our General Conference traditions.

I forgot it was spring picture day and sent Emmy to school in a stained Tshirt and messy bun pigtails. She is still adorable.

The Redlands Classic bike race was fun to watch. Some of the racers even came to Emmy's school to talk to them.

Zach loves to take pictures with my phone.

Emmy says every day how she doesn't want to go to school. She's fine once she gets there, but she flops around every morning saying she's not going.

Emmy was trying to teach Zach how to play Go Fish. In a blanket fort. Haha!
