Happy 9th Birthday Will, Max and Levi

Dale and I surprised the boys a few days before their birthday by signing them up for roller hockey and getting all their gear. The league started two days before their birthday so they got an early present. They were super excited as they have been taking ice skating lessons for a while, but were anxious to start actually playing hockey. Since ice hockey won't start until August, roller hockey is a great way to learn to play. They did pretty well for their first time and they are excited about playing in a league. On their birthday we had a shrimp boil and just had fun playing around in the yard with cousins. The boys are growing so fast. It's hard to believe they are already 9!

Camping in Iron County

We were able to get away for a weekend for our first camping trip of the year. We stayed at Big Creek RV Park. We stayed here last summer for a float trip, but this time we wanted to take advantage of all the hiking and State Parks around. We played in Big Creek for a while on Saturday morning before heading to Tom Sauk Mountain to hike. After our hike we visited Fort Davidson in Pilot Knob. We then went to Elephant Rocks and climbed around for a while. On our way back to the campground we stopped at Acadia Valley Bed and Breakfast for some ice cream and were able to walk around the creepy old building, and it was creepy, but also cool. When we made it back to the campground, the very brave Max and Will went swimming in the cold pool. We then played in the creek for a while longer skipping rocks. Finally, Dale and I sat by the campfire while the boys played for hours with all the other kids at the campground. It was a very nice and relaxing trip!

Levi's Piano

Levi participated in the Virtuoso Club festival this past weekend. He had to play two piano pieces for two judges. The music had to be memorized and we were not allowed to watch. I was able to hear him play through the door and he sounded great. At his piano lesson this week he found out that he got a Superior rating at the festival, which is the highest score. He received a ribbon and a certificate. Levi is very excited and we are very proud of him for his continued hard work playing the piano!

We went to Starbucks and got a hot chocolate and brownie afterwards to celebrate a great job!

Easter

I don't have many pictures from Easter. The boys have figured out that there is no Easter Bunny and think their "too cool" for all the nonsense of pictures! But they were still very excited to received a basket from Dad and Mom which included a new hockey stick. They will definitely take a picture with a hockey stick! It was also a VERY cold on Easter. We had to watch the egg hunt in our winter coats. There were even snow flurries!
