Happy Easter!

I didn't take any pictures at church, but rest assured (beyond the egg hunts and food) we celebrated our Risen Savior.

Pre-Easter Celebration

Mia will be with her dad this Easter, so Aunt Ashley offered to host an early celebration for us.

 We decorated eggs.

 Then we had an indoor egg hunt around the pool since it started pouring right when we were ready to hunt.

 Lily also got to swim for the first time.

We had a great time. Thanks for hosting, Ashley & Kyle!

Soccer Season

It's that time again. Lexi is doing so great at goalie this year. We think we've found her specialty. 

Girl Scout Hoe Down

Some of the girls from our troop attended our service unit's Hoe Down. The girls had a great time learning some square dancings, swapping SWAPs, and eating some yummy snacks.

 This was the biggest friendship circle I've ever seen.

SWAPs

Something With A Pin.

Special Whatchamacallit Affectionately Pinned Somewhere.

Share With A Pal.

There are multiple explanations for the abbreviation, but ultimately it is a little crafty item that you attach a pin to and trade with other girl scouts at events. We made our first SWAPs for an upcoming Hoe Down. Lexi looked at ideas on Pinterest and really liked these button flower. I manned the hot glue gun and she arranged the buttons and felt. I think they turned out great.

Happy Birthday Nana!

Unfortunately, we couldn't afford to take Nana to the beach for her birthday, so we brought a little of the beach to her. People sent me different reasons they love her and I wrote them on the fish. We took Nana out to dinner later at Olive Garden. Happy Birthday!
