Our Spring Flurry is nothing like the rest of the country (snow, rain, otherwise crappy weather), it was Karson's 12th birthday, the Easter Bunny visiting and Karson getting to be a deacon at church.
All in one weekend!
Oh My Gosh, What a handsome young man! Right?
Ryan suggested we measure him on his birthday since it seems like he grew 3 inches overnight.
5' 5''
Karson turned 12 on March 30 and because we had early church on Easter Sunday, the Easter Bunny agreed to come Saturday morning to help a mom out!
So Karson got an Easter basket and birthday presents all the same morning!
He asked for a body pillow with a "really soft" cover for his birthday.
Such a funny kid!
Bowling was his choice of Birthday activities. Someone in the picture, not naming names, wanted to get down and run up and down the bowling alley, and not take a picture. Can you guess which one???
At church when the kids turn 12 they get to go into a youth group of kids from 12-18 years old. So Karson advanced from the little kids primary and had to say a memorized scripture in front of the whole congregation, he of course did awesome! He also gets to help pass the sacrament on Sundays to the congregation. Cool stuff!
And to top it all off Grammy and Grandpa Dan both drove down to celebrate, which the kids are always thrilled about! And happy days for me, I had someone to help cook Easter dinner! (really I helped, she did all the work)
This year was Emma first year of really caring about the Easter Bunny. At first she was just excited to go outside and play, but we we showed her the eggs hidden and she thought that was great!
Here are some fun pictures over the past few weeks.
I took the kids to Red Robin for dinner one night when Ryan had "had enough!" :)
Emma loves to use the feature on my phone camera where you turn it around and see yourself.
She is so happy its spring time and beautiful weather so she can play outside, which is her favorite!
The kids had Spring Break the week before Easter, so on Friday I drug them to my office and seriously put them to work. Karson filed a giant stack of bank statements that had been piling up since October! Aubree weeded through 4 months of reconciled bank statements.
I think I need some help with filing.
I am wondering if there is any work release program for Jr High or Elementary??
