March 2018 Family Update (a.k.a: Mommy's birthday month!)

Happy March!  It was a happy March in our household mostly due to the fact that it was mommy's birthday month!  Birthdays are a big deal in our family...I just love celebrating them so much.  Jimmy and I were able to get away for a kid-free (thanks mom and dad!) weekend to the mountains and lots of chocolate was involved.  Spring Break began at the end of March, so I'll include that in next month's post.  I don't even want to TALK about how we missed more school because of snow.  Ugh.  Praying Spring is upon us for real.

Turner-Kittner kiddos minus Anna, playing golf (i.e. mostly eating and talking in their dads' back swings)

Grace before her first First Tee golf lesson.  ::Brag moment::  So, at her second golf lesson there was a little chipping competition where the kids were chipping a golf ball and seeing who got closest to the hole.  There was Grace (6) and about 6 other 7-9 year old boys.  Guess who won?  Yep, little Grace.  Jimmy said he had to completely contain himself because they teach sportsmanship in these sessions and he couldn't make a scene.  He was making a scene on the inside!  We're proud of her and pray she continues to enjoy golf and to try her hardest.

Perfect depiction of our sweet and sassy Anna Ruth

 
More snow=more days of school in the summer

We did have a lazy day and the kids event spent some time making an Easter painting for family members

Grace helped me write "He is Risen" at the top and then the kids signed them.  Thanks Jessie for the inspiration!

Grace's recent module at school has been birds and she has been impressing us with her knowledge of them!  Here's her "robin" picture.

One of Wesley's class pictures.  He's going to marry Lorelei (to the right of him in the picture) and they are going to have 99 babies, right Kim?

We've seen lots of bunnies around here lately.  Grace got so close to this one...she's our little animal lover.



We made it to the new library downtown!


We are so grateful Grace has turned into a little bookworm.  She will sit just about anywhere and get soaked up in a book.  She is flying through them so thank goodness for libraries!!  Her current favorite series are: The Princess in Black, Magic Tree House, and Goosebumps (I wasn't ready for the scary ones until like 3rd grade, lol...gave me nightmares).

Thank you, Jimmy, for loving me well and making me feel special on my 32nd trip around the sun!

St. Patty's Day Fun

Green lunches because I can't help myself

I read a book to Grace's class and brought a fun snack where the kiddos made things out of cereal and marshmallows.

Just adorable

Jimmy went to grab some pizza on my birthday in the mountains and came back with a birthday cake surprise!  Thank you for loving me so well, babe :)

My mom and dad so graciously came and stayed at our house to watch the kiddos while Jimmy and I got away for a few nights.  Thank you!!  When Jimmy and I returned, there was another birthday celebration to be had!
