Here I go again!
Seems like it is easier for me to update all in one post - so - here I go again!
We have had busy weeks lately. The kids just finished a city class, they had ice skating lessons and went swimming. They had a blast. The teachers say that we have a skater on our hands. Shane has no fear so he would just try and go as fast as he could and then fall because he hasn't learned to stop yet. Maybe we will put him in hockey! Julia on the other hand is afraid of everything and went as slow as she possible could so she would fall.
Shane is the one in the yellow helmet, blue jacket!
Julia is in a purple helmet, white and black jacket.
The Friday after the class, Julia had kindergarten round up. They had a mock hour and 1/2 of kindergarten, she put on her uniform and I dropped her off. She loved it, loves her teachers (one of them goes to our church) and can't wait to go back. I on the other hand had a hard time with it - yes I cried. Not because she was gone for 1 1/2 (like my husband thought) but because my little girl is going to be old enough to go to school. I'm just glad it's only half time kindergarten because I'm going to miss her. I already told Dave that he has to take the first day of school off work because I'm going to be a WRECK!!
This weekend we painted Julia's room - another step to her becoming a big girl. Too much for a mom to handle!! We haven't done anything to her room since she was born so I suppose after 5 years it was about time. Julia painted for about 2 minutes then said she was bored and stopped.

Up to Speed!
I'm going to update everyone on what has been going on in one post with lots of pictures!
Company:
Our friends from Nebraska came to visit this past weekend! We miss them so much so it was tons of fun to get to spend time with them.
Easter:
We had a lot of fun on Easter. We didn't make it to church because we were leaving for Fort Morgan so we had a family "church" service - it was really neat! Then we hunted for Easter baskets - this was the first year we did this with the kids and they loved it! Then we were off to Fort Morgan for lunch. We were originally going to go to Sterling but my poor nephew completely broke his femur and couldn't go, so we went to his house. The kids had a blast and we all ate way too much!
Playing Store:
Julia has been learning about money in preschool. I set up a "store" and Shane and her buy things! They loved it and want to play "store" everyday!

Birthdays, Haircuts and Snow!!
This is just a little of what we have been doing the last couple of weeks! Dave's birthday was last week and I surprised him by having the kids go to Sterling for the night so we could go on a date Thursday night and then fishing on Sat! We had a lot of fun and Dave was really surprised - he said it was his best birthday ever! After fishing we headed to Sterling for my dad's birthday - he turned 60 so we had a party for him with friends and family. We had a great time! The kids were with Granny and Papa most of the weekend playing outside and helping take care of the kids - baby goats that is. They had a blast and didn't want to come back home. I forgot to take pictures all weekend :(
This week was pretty laid back - we kind of did our Spring Break from preschool this week - I wasn't planning for that it just kind of happened. Our friends from Nebraska were suppose to come visit this weekend but didn't because of the storm, I was pretty bummed out. They are coming in a few weeks though.
I've been in a lazy mood this week, which is pretty uncommon for me. I'm usually 100 miles an hour all the time. It was nice, but I'm ready to get back to my old self again. Dave had the afternoon off yesterday because it snowed so much. We went over to our neighbors for chili and sat around watching basketball.
Today we went sledding with our neighbors - it was a lot of fun! There is a great hill in the neighborhood across the street from us. A family was there and they had huge inner tubes that were super fast. Shane wanted to go on them right away after he saw how fast they went. Julia didn't want to go on them at all. She stayed on the slower ones - I didn't push it - although I knew she would love it if she tried it. After a while the smaller ones must have lost there fun and she decided she would try the faster ones. I wasn't sure how she would react but after we went down she said, "I want to do that again!" It takes her a while to get brave enough to try certain things and once she tries it she usually LOVES it! I'm the exact same way with things like that. I'm just glad she eventually gets up enough courage to try things, it's better than not trying at all! I feel like Shane is going to be more like Dave and not be afraid of anything!
Anyway, that's an update from our family!

Breakfast Conversation!
Last week Julia slept-in until 9:00am (very unlike her - must be the time change). Shane was hungry so I went ahead and fixed breakfast, got a plate ready for Julia and sat down with Shane to eat. Not long after we sat down Julia came out of her room groggy, and sat down with us. I said, “Good morning sweetie.” She said good morning and sat there for a few minutes and then she said, “Mommy, Jesus is God right?” I told her yes and explained that Jesus came down from heaven in a body just like ours and was God as a human here on earth. She sat there for a minute processing what I said. Then she said, “Mommy I want to give Jesus my heart!” With tears in my eyes I asked if she knew what it meant to give Jesus her heart. She told me she didn’t know exactly what it meant but that she loves Him and wants to give Him her heart. I told her it means that she has to do what Jesus wants her to do with her life and not what she wants to do. That in every decision she makes she has to think if that is the decision Jesus would want her to make and would it make Jesus happy. I told her she needs to read her Bible and pray to Him everyday and get to know Him better and fall in love with Him more. Meanwhile Shane is sitting there agreeing with everything we say. This whole conversation with my five year old blew me away! Her heart for Jesus is so pure and honest - it is amazing. It’s not damaged by hurts in her life, it’s not damaged by other people telling her Jesus isn’t real, it’s not damaged by what the world says is logical or probable, it’s not damaged by what the world says is popular or cool, it’s not damaged at all - this is what faith is - love for Jesus!
I know this is what Jesus was talking about when He said, “...Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And He took the children in Him arms, put His hands on them and blessed them.” Mark 10:14-16
My prayer for Julia is that her love for Jesus continues to grow and that she will never stray from the path He has planned for her life. My prayer for myself is that I will fall more in love with Jesus and have that same child-like faith I see in Julia!

Dave and Julia
Our computer is finally working right for the most part!
Here are the pictures from the dance that Dave took Julia to. Julia was so FUNNY getting ready she couldn't stop giggling - she was so excited. It was like a teenager getting ready for her first school dance - SOOOOO FUNNY! I'm bummed I didn't get it on video but I think from the pictures you will be able to tell how excited she was. They had a blast at the dance. Dave said Julia went up to about every girl and told them how beautiful they were and how pretty their dresses were.

Picture
Just wanted to let everyone know the picture at the top of my blog was from when we hiked the fourteener this past summer! It was amazing and I'm looking forward to hiking another one this summer.
That's all - I need to go wake up Julia because she has a date with her dad tonight - he is taking her to a father daughter dance and she's so excited! I'll post pictures.
