Jett's Last Soccer Game

The short soccer season came to an end which was kind of sad. Jett had a lot of fun playing and learning about the sport. I personally don't miss soccer when it was rainy but the smile on his face made it all worth it.

His last game he made 3 or 4 goals.

Decided to take a break and just sit in the middle of the field.

When he would make a goal he would run over to us and give high 5's. During the game he would also run over to ask Cirdan, "Do I kick the green ball?"Cirdan would tell him, "yep!" and he would run back to the field excited and focused to kick that green ball.

After the game the coach gave out little trophies to all the little soccer players.

He loved his little bobble head trophy and couldn't wait to take it home to put in his room.

Easter Hunt with the Mattsons

I took Ava with me to Ella's Free Friday Family lunch.

 That night we had our 1st annual Mattson/Imbler Easter Egg Hunt. The kids had fun and they all got some good practice in for their real Easter egg hunts that Sunday.

This picture made me laugh. Lots going on here.

Search, Search, Search

Candy or crackers?

Greg, Staci and the kids left and we had our first BBQ of the year.

The girls had a bit too much candy

After dinner Ava went on a hunt for her basket. She was leaving the next morning and wouldn't be with us on Easter morning.

She got some cool things

I had taken Ava and Ella to Target a few days before not really thinking about what a horrible idea that was. I needed to get things for their baskets but they are super nosy and I had to sneak everything in the basket and then onto the belt at the cash register. They would say they like something and I would try to get that item in the cart without them knowing. I was sweating by the end of the shopping trip. BAD idea.

We are always sad when she leaves!! Good thing is she will be back in June! and then in August again!

Coloring Eggs

We let the girls skip school and we all went to the mall for Easter Bunny pictures. Cannon was a little stinker but the rest of them didn't mind the bunny. After we walked around the mall for a bit, rode some rides and ate some pretzels.

Tried to take a nice picture with their dress clothes on

Love my snuggly Jett

The kids (all except Kaiya) were super excited to paint eggs so we rushed home, changed clothes and colored eggs.

I MADE (and threatened) Kaiya to come downstairs and be with everyone and she was not happy about it (crying eyes). She was going thru an emotional couple of weeks but she has been a much happier person lately.

After eggs we made some tasty egg nests out of chinese noodles, chocolate and candy eggs.
