Sports Class

Jadon is taking an 8 week sports class. He started with basketball and will also play baseball, soccer, and football. Here he is in the blue shirt dribbling behind one of his coaches.

Cousin Time

While Brant and Amie went to the Masters, the kids and I spent some time with Kylie, Dylan, and Deb in Bettendorf. The kids just played a lot in the house. Since the girls missed their tea party with Grandma Jones, we had a little tea party at home on Sunday.

Holuks Visit

On Sunday, the Rouses, Flemings, and Holuks came to our house for a reunion. Sharon, Susan, and Dave are friends of ours from Massachusetts that are in Illinois visiting several of us who used to live in MA and be members of Calvary Baptist Church. It was good to catch up with everyone and we were blessed with a warm Spring day.

Putnam Museum of Science and History

Jadon was a natural operating the claw of this submarine and picking up shells.

Peek-a-boo Avery!

The kids had so much fun at the Putnam this past Friday. Running on the ramps and climbing the big staircase was just as exciting to them as the animal and culture exhibits. This is a great museum and I would enjoy going back by myself to take my time in each exhibit.

More Putnam and Easter Activities

When the kids got up on this ledge for their picture, they were surprised to see that the polar bear roaring had his paw on a captured seal.

This Chinese guard dog captured Jadon's imagination. After seeing it, he "became" it by running, growling, and showing his sharp claws.

After a full morning at the museum, we headed back to Amie's house for rest time. Then the kids dyed Easter eggs and Deb gave them all monogrammed beach towels and totes as an Easter gift.

Easter Egg Hunt with the Joneses

Dale and his family spent another week in the QC. On Sunday, March 27th we met at Brant's house for pizza with the whole Jones family. Then we headed over to Larry's house for an Easter Egg Hunt. Larry and Cindy watched the kids that night while the couples and Deb went out for dinner. The cousins love spending time together and get along so well.

Pins Visit to Sterling

On March 5th, my mom, dad, brother and Jordyn came to Sterling. We visited and ate lunch. While the kids napped, the guys walked around downtown and the girls looked over the baby stuff that I had saved for Jeff and Jordyn. Their baby boy is due at the end of May and we're all so excited! The highlight of the day was watching Jadon and Leah play with Woolfe. They would run off with his blanket and he would chase after them.
