Watching his car in the race. His car took 1st place in all the races of this heat.
Carson carefully placing his car on the track.
Weighing in at the check-in station. This was fun for Carson but not something we may do again. It was long and too much for one day. Carson loved it though. He took third place. Great for Carson!

Easter is great! Especially with Family and Friends.

This Easter weekend we were swapmed with Soccer and baptisms, so the kids didn't go to any Easter egg hunts. We were glad of that but the kids miss not searching for eggs. Their grandma was so great to set one up for them in her yard. They had great fun and searched and searched for two lost eggs that we finally had to give up on. Grandma couldn't remember where she hide them either. All we were glad about was the eggs were out side and will not smell or bring mice in the house. We thank you Grandma and hope we can have many more great Easter egg hunts with you again.
Carson searching for his treasure of eggs.
Carson, Carlos and Michaela looking for eggs all together, but not for long. They split up to find them faster.

Carlos looking for any great finds he can find. We sure miss our cousins. It's funnier with more competition and lots of eggs. Maybe next year we can have a friend Easter egg hunt at grandmas. We have had that thought several years in a row. Now we need to take action. But what does Easter really mean......

Are you sure it's SPRING????

The snow is coming down in big flakes just as I am typing this and there doesn't look like an end in sight. Of course we need the water and I was praying for rain. I guess I will take snow.
The snow is falling again. Can you believe it. I guess we just have to be grateful for moisture so we can enjoy our HOT summers we are praying for in June. Don't we just love Idaho.

Soccer season is going full boar. We are excited it is here because that means summer is just around the corner. Pictures of Carson to come soon. The boys both had a game on Saturday the 11 and both won their game (Carson 8-2 and Carlos 8-7). Fun to see them working so hard and as a team. I love it.
