General Conference--Saturday

The kids opened their conference box full of goodies.

We had the Harmers and the Days over to watch a 

session and eat lunch.

Ashlyn's birthday at school

Most adorable thing ever.  Ashlyn's teacher, Mrs. Bates, is amazing.  And that is an understatement.  She is organized and loving and very thoughtful and knows each of her kids needs.  I cannot say enough good things.  For each child's birthday she does a special thing.  She has the birthday child wear a cute cake hat, then she has them sit at the front of the room while the rest of the class tells this fun story about her. It is so cute.  If the video weren't so long I would post it!  Then she has everyone sing a special happy birthday to the birthday child while the birthday kid dances...video below  I LOVED IT!!  
I know she felt loved and special.  

Ashlyn's note to dad

Ashlyn left a note to Dave and had me put in on the fridge for when he returned from a business trip.  After being gone for only 3 hours Ashlyn wrote,

"Dear Dad, 

I miss you already.

love, Ashlyn"

It was so cute!!  She was so sad Dave was gone for a couple of days.  Dave and I got the biggest kick out of the note because the last time that he left for a business trip she didn't notice that he was gone until after 3 days! Haha!  On the third day of his trip she finally asked, "Hey mom, where is Dad?"

What do these pictures have in common?

 These are all pictures of the places Corbin used to hide his toothbrush equipment!  In one spot he kept his toothbrush, in another spot he kept his floss and in another he kept his toothpaste. 

Holy moly.  Corbin is obsessed with his teeth.  He got special floss, toothpaste and toothbrush from an assembly at school (thank you Lacey Cope and the CADA program!) and he seriously hides them all in different spots throughout our house so that the other kids will not find them and use them (as if! :) Ha!)  He makes Trevor and Ashlyn leave the room so that he can put them back in their spots every night without them seeing him so that they won't know where he keeps them.  Such a funny kid.  He asked me to hang this poster in our bathroom.  He cracks me up!

Murder mystery dinner

This was so much fun! We combined efforts with the Baker's to plan this fun night of acting. I love murder mystery dinners. All of the costumes were so creative! It was really fun to see people get into character!

Haha!  Meghan cracks me up in this picture.  I think she was born to be a rapper. And Justin make the perfect "Bee"!

Love the Super Heroes!!

Dave was a nerd and I was Mrs. Frost!!

These two were Jesters! Love it!

Dave ended up being the murderer!

He seriously creeped me out in his death costume.

And of course, the kids had to play with the baby chicks 

after the party was over!

Dinner and fun at the harmers

Great times at the Harmer's house as usual. Love them. Had a good time watching the April general conference and eating dinner.

Christi had such cute activities to keep the kids "busy" while watching conference.  She had them each make a temple out of legos.  When they finished, they had to show her and she would give them a life savor.  So cute.

She also had them make Temples out of stacking cups.  So fun.  My kids loved it.

Traditional conference brunch at the Lovless household

Every General Conference Sunday we went to the Loveless' house for conference cinnamon rolls. Delish!! Such a fond memory! Here are some of the kids trying to pose in a group shot. :)
