I love to see the temple....

...we got to go inside the other day.

What a great blessing to have a temple so close.  We had a great time touring it and talking to the kids about it.  Hopefully there will be more visits soon!

TEAM KALE

TEAM KALE has been busy this month.  At the beginning of the month we attended the walk for the Northwest Missouri Autism Alliance.  We got new TEAM KALE shirts made and were the awesomest group there of course!

 Then at the end of the month, Kales school had a Walk/ Run.  Once again TEAM KALE was in attendance.  Some of us enjoyed the one mile walk, while others ran the 5K (Nicole, Curtis, Taylor and Jake).  It was a great time.  We raised lots of money to donate to Kale's school.

A special thanks to B/E Aerospace and Energizer 

(and everyone else who donated)!

Spring Soccer Season

Soccer season has started again.  Brylie was so excited to sign up again.  She is on the same team as in the fall.  Her team are the Green Gators!  She is a little fireball on the field.  She attacks that ball and is great at it.  

Kaden decided to give soccer a try this season too.  She plays on a team that includes 3rd - 6th graders.  She is the smallest one on her team!  She has done a lot better then I anticipated.  She gets out there and gets that ball!  Her team is the Gray Timberwolves.

Both girls are #12!

And of course Ellie loves to come to the games and cheer on her big sisters.  She likes to try to make her own goals as well...

Weekend Trip

This weekend we had a great get away to the Mall of America.  What a HUGE place with TONS to do!  We went to watch Gma Kelli and Gpa Scott scuba dive in the aquariums there!  First we went on some rides at the amusement park (yes, inside the mall).  

Here is our view from the top of the Ferris Wheel!

Then we went into the SeaLife exhibit.

We got to touch starfish and other sea creatures, see jelly fish, walk through a tunnel and see fish and sharks...

 We saw lots of unique fish.

And then we saw Gpa Scott!!!!!

 And theres Gma Kelli!!!

 And Lego Land

 We had a blast.  The kids are great travelers.  We went swimming two times at the hotel (which is always a hit).  We figured this was our practice run with all four kids for a road trip.  I think they are ready for CA this summer!!!

Spring Break

The big girls had spring break last week and we had a blast.  It was so nice to not have to get up and ready every morning.  We got to sleep in, snuggle in bed before breakfast, have picnics for lunch, do some light chores and play all day!  The girls got to spend a night at Gma & Gpas house and get spoiled.  Gma took them to get pedicures!!  We also went to a museum to play one day.  Here are some pictures.  It was the first time we went there but we will be going a lot now I think!

Spring is here...

Ok, maybe not quite yet since we woke up to snow on the ground yesterday after it was in the 70s the day before!  But my big girls got their spring pictures taken at school and I want to show them off of course :)

TEAM KALE, at it again!

For anyone interested:
My sisters son, Kale attends Helen Davis school for the severely disabled in St. Joe. They are having a "walk" on Sat April 28th, 9:30am at Phil Welch Stadium. If you would like to attend you can register at www.enter2run.com
They are taking donations also. Anyone can donate but if you have a business that would like to donate their logo will be printed on the event t-shirts and a banner will be displayed at the event. (great advertising).
Send me a message if you would like more details. This is a great cause to support. All donations go directly to the school. (I try to raise money for Autism Awareness once a year and this is my event this year)
If you would like to come join TEAM KALE, we would love to have you :)
