Lunar Eclipse


When I was a kid (don't remember how old), there was an eclipse. Like the kind you needed a special viewing box to see. It's a memory I will never forget-and thought it would be fun for the kids to see an eclipse and read about why it happens. I guess that's the homeschooler coming out in me. :) Anyway-it was a super clear night, we woke up at 1:30 and got in the van wrapped up in blankets. The temp was 5..yes, 5 degrees. brrrrr. We didn't stay up for the whole thing, I timed it so they could see the moon go in to the full eclipse and watch it turn "red", then we headed back to bed. So glad we did it!

Chloe and Paige


This past weekend we celebrated the marraige of Lacy Holen and Evander Pinder. Paige and Chloe were asked to help serve punch so I thought it would be fun to have an afternoon of getting ready at our house. Doing hair is always more fun when you have a friend to do it with! They each browsed pinterest and picked out what styles they wanted and we got to work! 

Paige said they needed a before picture-this one is a keeper!

Picking out earring
 

Chloe took a turn with the camera

 
I think this was the part where Chloe told Paige "Beauty is pain-deal with it".
 
Crazy eyes



Paige's hair is getting pretty long, so its fun to play with. I'm glad she's enjoying braids more cause I'm having fun learning new ways to do it!
 
Chloe went with a fancy pinned back curl look



Cuties and Besties. So glad they have stayed such best friends, they are so fun to watch grow!

Hello Spring?


Snow Day
By Anson, Paige and Ava Lou

Three little kids playing in the snow
All wondering when spring will show. 

The birds want to sing, but its just so cold.
They want spring to come so they can be bold. 

Snow might be pretty, but after this long
We need to see grass-we need it gone!

Running, biking, playing is our dream, 
but instead we need hot chocolate with ice cream. 

We leave you with this thought as March is over,
Lets hope April brings fields of clover.

Winter Sports

Anson is in full swing with hockey and Paige is enjoying basketball. Between Anson having practice M/T/Th and Paige T/Th and both having games on the weekend our winter is flying by and we like it that way! A few pics from their time so far this year.
