Pieces of April (Part 1)

Man it was another full one!  Besides Zoe's Birthday, Beach's Birthday, Easter, Shiloh's field trip, and a fun little strawberry picking outing....these were the other sweet little moments of April.
For career day at school this year, Zoe was a reporter (and actually got to interview Chip Huggins that day at school)...
and Shiloh was a teacher.  This fits right up her alley and personality.  (And why does she look like a teenager and not just a 7-year-old?)
My loves...may you always fit and want to sit in my lap!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first graders had a performance at school in which they sang songs from the movies.  Addy was to wear PJs for the Polar Express.
  Shiloh was a "robber" from batman.  She loved this role and being right in front on the stage with her animated self.  It was adorable and they all did a great job!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is not lost on me how many short times I have left with just little man!  So I treasure our dates together.  We enjoy going to the art museum each month for Gladdy's gang.  Including a story...
and making one's own art.  This month he chose to make a car out of pipe cleaners.  Ezra is always hesitant to be able to start but is willing to stick in there for the process.
Then we hit up Small Sugar for a lunch date!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prepping for Zoe's Birthday party, she wanted to help make the cupcakes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Days and days of reading with my first grader.  She is slowly growing in this skill and enjoying it more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another "A" honor roll celebration for Zoe!
She had caught on to wanting to make good grades for this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The girls school hosts a Tales for Totes program that we have been going to for years.
It's a bit of a challenge to get there so early.  However, Ezra LOVED planting his own sunflowers to take home and watch grow.  This was our last one ever.  Starting to say goodbye to traditions that we have held for years (it is hard for this momma).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My sister and brother-in-law took Ezra out for his birthday date and sent me some pictures.
Complete with checking out some trackers, chicks, hats...
and ice cream!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A short little stop with my Shiloh to do her reading homework and enjoy a beautiful time at a playground with just us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will often find us pausing to look outside at the Lord's creation, especially if we need a reset!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Birthday cards for the Poppy!
And singing in anticipation for dessert!
5-year-old love...
and the whole gang!  Happy birthday dad!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spring break and we headed to Waterfall junction at the zoo...
So beautiful and so many little treasure spots...

More April to come...
