Easter Eggs 2015

After horrible rain storms last night, the weather was absolutely beautiful today.  We played outside for a while, and then spent the early part of the evening dyeing Easter eggs.

Our Lucky Day

Reagan had a lucky day...she found a 4-leaf clover all by herself!!  She and Cooper were so excited!!

lucky day - she said she wished she had looked in that spot on St Patrick's Day!

 We continued our warm weather walking (or scootering) around the local park

The family that walks together, sweats together!

Scooters and Soccer

We absolutely love this time of year!  Cooper has finally learned how to ride his scooter with one foot and Reagan has been a pro on her scooter for a while now.

 Spring soccer began tonight as well.  Practice were to have started 2 weeks ago, but with all the bad weather we've had recently it's been delayed.

Cooper picked up right where he left off in the winter session

Riding Around Again

Another beautiful day, another night around the track, another 2.5 miles!

Scootin' Around

Since this was the first warm, non-raining day we'd had in forever, we took the kids to a local park and walked or scooted around the track.  We ended up walking 2.5 miles!

ready for spring

 cute kids!

 fun family time!

Up a Tree

Reagan and the neighborhood girls have discovered a new trick of climbing trees!

Day of Play

It was a sunny, but cool afternoon so we got outside to enjoy the weather.

first up...soccer

 Cooper, Greg & I played soccer in the back yard using the goal Cooper received for Christmas

 Cooper loooves to be the goalie

 Next, we had a little target practice using Cooper's pellet gun

 Where was Reagan during all this family time?  Playing Lego Friends.  She said she "just isn't an outside person when it's cold or hot"

 Cooper did a little weight liftingC!

 Then, an air hockey match broke out.  These kids are very competitive with each other when it comes to air hockey!

We also played a few rounds of checkers and tic-tac-toe, watched a movie for family night and Greg treated the kids to milkshakes from the Cook-Out!
