Spring Break - Springfield

Since we didn't have any big spring break plans, we decided to take road trip to see my grandparents that live in Springfield, MO.  Grandma fixed us a big lunch when we got there.  Then, my Aunt Andrea and Uncle Mark took us to the Bass Pro Shop.  It was really neat!
First, the kids visited with the Easter Bunny and got full size candy bars from him.
Then, we visited the different areas of the store.  This place was more like a zoo / aquarium than retail store.  The design and atmosphere were so cool!

The boys enjoyed the humongous fish tank with fish bigger than Little E!
They also had fun posing with the bear.



My cousins, Anne & Amber, also joined us at store, so it was fun catching up with them.
We spent the night at the Schultz family farm.  It was too dark to drive in the pasture to see the bulls and cows, which Little E was looking forward to.  My aunt & uncle built an awesome in-law house on the property.
 
Grandma made me a birthday cake, so we had a little birthday party that night.

Sugie and Little E were so excited about their sleeping arrangements - they slept in the tornado shelter on the main floor!!  Buddy was kind of scared of it, so he opted out.

St. Patrick's Day 2013

On St. Patrick's Day, our house had a leprechaun infestation!!  First, the kids found that our office had been trashed!!
 
Then, E found a black pot with gold coins and skittles!
The crazy leprechauns even turned our toilet water green!


Sugie's Skating Show

Sugie ice skated in her first show this weekend!!

Can you tell that she loves posing for pictures?!?

Little E wanted in on the picture taking process!
Sugie skated in the opening number - Twist & Shout

She also performed in a group number that was an Olympics / Girl on Fire combo.Sugie had special solo in her routine. First the instructor picked her up and did a spin with her. Then, Sugie got to do her own spin while everyone else in the group watched. 
 
We're so proud of you, Sugie!

Sweet Home Alabama

Sugie has always loved the limelight and performing for others.  It seems that Little E has that same characteristic.  She builds microphones for them while he grabs the guitars.
His guitar plays music and his favorite song is "Sweet Home Alabama".  He knows the words and sings along.  It's very adorable!

Buddy's Basketball Season

Buddy played basketball through Upward again this winter.  He was on a great team and did an awesome job!
Role call!  Here comes "Big Show"!

Buddy was a great player!  He shot, rebounded and guarded very well.  One of his besties was on his team and those two were a powerhouse duo!  It was a great season!
The team celebrated with pizzas and trophies after the last game.
