Since I left the memory card from our camera in my computer I figured I'd post a few more random pictures that I've been remiss in posting lately, so enjoy!

Spring Break Trip


So we headed off to Branson for spring break this year thanks to the gift of free lodging from Rhonda's aunt and uncle. It was a really fun trip, staying in our own little cabin, playing in the little stream behind our place, shopping around town, seeing the war museum, visiting a great hands on science exploration type museum in Springfield, and watching a lot of March Madness basketball games! Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!








Ezzie's cheesy grin after a great creation!

Eli's masterpiece!

Sol's wild hair on the static electricity machine

A picture could never do justice to how much fun we had playing with this thing. The stainless steel disc in the middle spins, and you can make all kinds of things roll on it. REALLY cool toy that we wasted probably an hour on!

Cuddled up watching cartoons!

learning about making stained glass creations from a very nice and patient craftsman!

We have a hot tub in our cabin? Best surprise ever!

Riding his bike!



So for my birthday today, my 3rd son decided it was time to learn to ride his bike with NO Training Wheels! It was quite exciting for all of us, at least until he had a couple good crashes and we decided to leave on the knee pads for next time, but it was definitely very fun! And a bit tiring for dad, who was trying to keep up in case of an emergency! Enjoy the pictures!
