The eggs

Before I go through the pictures from our Easter "jeepin'" excursion, I thought I'd throw in some pictures from when we dyed eggs. 
The kids LOVED this, and they both had such a good time. Makenah was gentle and took her time. Logan was fast and a little unpredictable. :) For the most part I let him just go for it!

Easter in WP: 2014

We spent a long Easter weekend in Woodland Park with Bryan's grandparents and it was completely wonderful! Celebrating our Risen Savior, spending time together, eating good food, hunting for eggs, shopping, jeeping…it was the best!

Easter baskets and egg hunting
The terrain was a little different that the usual egg hunting in KS. Ha!
I'll be back with more pictures from the weekend!

Wedding Bells in the Family!!!

Love is in the air!!
 The entire Stucky family is celebrating with Bryan's brother Brad in his recent engagement to his love Racquel! We are just so happy for them, and very excited to welcome Racquel to the family. 
How wonderful is this picture!! I love it and I love them!!
 Brad and Racquel are such a wonderful couple, and compliment each other so perfectly! They love God and love each other, they are passionate and driven, caring and thoughtful, kind and generous and so much fun! Raquel is so wonderful, and I am excited to have a sister-in-law in the Stucky family!
Wedding planning is in full swing and we will be joining them in Maine for their wedding at the end of May! Woohoo!!!!
Love you guys!

It's Spring!

I'm saying spring is here! Hooray for warmer days, sunshine, playing outside and the month of April! 
I haven't had my big camera out much lately, but I've been keeping track of the everyday with my phone. 

I came into her room and saw one of her bibles propped in front of Sally's tank. I asked her what she was doing. She said "Sally wanted to read the bible." 
Love it. 
 Sam's trip.
 Hunting for treasures.
 "Mom, take our picture."
(She's been calling us mom and dad a lot… does that means she's getting big? ugh!)
Everything is "Mom, watch me _____." "Dad can you _____?" "Mom, check this out!" 
 This is how we go through the car wash. He doesn't mind the loud swishing, but he doesn't want to see it. 
 Rhythm instruments at story time. 
 In the nature explore center at the library.
 Bryan came home for lunch, and she had just removed her clothes for the day and redressed in a dress that she felt was more twirly and appropriate for dancing. She asked him if he wanted to dance, and so he gave her a little lesson in dancing. It was completely precious. 
 Heading out to a birthday party for their little friend from church.
 Trying to get the kite up!
 He loves corn on the cob!!
 Makenah always wants to tuck in Logan and "take care of him." She gets a pillow and their blankets and tell him where to lay and covers him. 
 Making cookies for church.
 Snacks outside. They'd come take a bite then run back to the play set and then run back for another bite, then go swing, then come back. Repeat. Wasn't it completely gorgeous today? We played outside for a long time, grilled steak for supper, and even got in our first lawn mow of the season. 
Happy Spring!

Happenings

We're getting used to this spring-y weather…I hope the trend means warm days are here to stay!
 Snuggling with Papa.
 Being creative with Uncle Jeff.
 Treats Makenah took for her classmates on her birthday.
 Birthday morning before school.
 After school we took the kids to the local nursery and pet shop…we looked at all the animals and pets, and then ate lunch at the garden cafe there. So fun!!
 Scoops of ice cream, specially chosen from the ice-cream counter.
 Watching closely…I'll have to blog more about one of Bryan's new projects…it needs pictures to do it justice. :) After we added Makenah's new fish tank to our family, we are also now the proud owners of a bigger salt water tank. Bryan is really enjoying developing the ecosystem in there. It takes a lot of work to get one up and running. He and Makenah bond over fish. :)
 Blowing out more candles on a piece of birthday cake. 
 Happy meals at McDonalds with Mimi and some sweet friends after bible study. This is Makenah and her good friend from preschool and church. He's so funny and energetic…she's always totally into whatever he's doing. This picture makes me laugh…He only wanted to do the silly faced picture...
 Zoo with friends. 
 Peachwave!!
 Out back with Daddy.

 Makenah helped me make rainbow fruit cups for Logan's birthday party.
