The end of April

 Everyone had dental check ups in April. Look how they put the kids to work cleaning their own teeth.

 This is Sienna, I didn't make the other kids pose for pics. Actually I think I had to drop them and run, then pick them up when they were done. Some serious craziness was happening at the time!

Baby Gracin was born! A new addition to Katt and Andy. He is just so cute! I was ready to jump in the car to hold him as soon as he came out.

 We drained the swimming pool. Yay! It was time. This is Ashlynn getting the last of the water out with the shop vac.

 The kids thought it was positively thrilling to have the pool empty. We were totally freaked out on eof them were going to fall in and hurt themselves. Needless to say it was filled up quickly. Well as quick as you can with one hose... A few days.

 Gunner had a little accident while riding his scooter home from a friends house. He hit a rock and flipped over the front of the handle bars landing on his shoulder. Some of our friends saw it happen and gave him a ride home. Thanks Sean and Christine Merrill!

Of course we were waiting for his so we could go hang out at Jody and Angela's. He said he was ok. We thought we would wait and see how he was feeling in a little bit.

The pain kept up, although he could lift his arm above his shoulder. ANdrew ended up taking him to an urgent care and they said it was indeed a broken collar bone.

A trip to the Dr. on Monday told us it would heal on it's own and he would just need to keep it in a sling for a while

 Ashlynn went in to get her braces off!

But then discovered something had happened to the wire on the bottom, so only the top could come off.

 She wasn't too upset. She was upset about her discovery that we all seemed to match that day! I didn't notice till we got out of the car:)

 Of course the next day.... They were matching again! I think she actually likes to match!

 I made it to the butterfly release at school. Sienna was so excited.

 There were butterflies everywhere.

And so another April is checked off. Good times.

It sure is different as the kids get older. I find that I spend most of my time in the car, thus making it difficult to get to the shopping and cleaning that still needs to be done.
