Greg Cottrell Family March/April

Most weekend nights this how the kids sleep. When they are fighting I have to remember these moments.

Field trip to the zoo with Adam. Try to imagine 6 boys racing through the zoo and two adults trying to keep up with them. We “saw” a lot of animals in just a few hours.

Visit from the leprechaun and Shamrock shakes to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!!

A couple of the days during Spring Break were nice enough to go the park and the zoo.

Lindsey and Sarah enjoyed Texas Roadhouse and the General Women's’ Conference with friends Keri and Lexie Hatch.

We’ve been enjoying the nicer spring weather and going on evening walks as a family.

The spring weather has been crazy. 70 one day and wet cold the next.

Adam enjoyed his last Pinewood Derby. His fastest time was 3.7957. We figured that he finished in the top three of the Webelos out of two wards and a branch. But we were confused since there was a different track and group running it this year.

Isaac precipitated in the Open Class for the pinewood derby also and ended up second.

We enjoyed a nice afternoon with the Cottrell family at CoCo keys indoor water park.

Isaac was determined to learn to ride a bike this spring. His bike was little heavy so we got him training wheels and now he can keep up with everyone else.

 

For April Fools Day we enjoyed making silly face pizzas and orange pop (Jell-O set up in cups with straws), it was funny to watch the kids try and drink it.

Sarah had a field trip the Children’s Museum and learned about weather.

Kids are the cutest.

Adam is enjoying spring flag football. He plays center often and is the top dog when it comes to pulling flags.

Adam enjoyed the Platte River State Park field trip. He got learn about bow fishing, NE reptiles, geocaching, cooking over a fire, and fire safety.

 

We enjoyed the Grigg’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt. There were 3700 eggs and about 55 kids so they moved the hunt up the baseball fields at the school near their home. Afterwards all the kids enjoyed playing on the school playground. The night before the Greg, Adam, and Isaac enjoyed the first camping and fishing trip of the season.

 

We always do our Easter baskets the Saturday before Easter Sunday so the kids can focus on Christ and the Resurrection on Sunday.

 

We recently had the missionaries visit and the challenged us to give away a Book of Mormon. Sarah was so excited that she gave it away the next day to a good friend at school. What a great example.

The school recently held their big fundraiser of the school year. Hot dog, chips, drinks, carnival games, bounce houses, raffle baskets, popcorn, prizes, and cotton candy as big as your head. OH MY!!!

The weather was finally nice enough that we were able to do Sarah’s Baptism photo shoot. (only about 5 months late).

BUBBLES are the BEST.

Isaac and Adam love playing sports together.

Adams team got 3rd today at the Math and Visual Spatial completion, out of 20 teams.
