Have you wondered where we have been or what we have been up to? Me too! Seems life is passing us by in a rush! We are on the go, the girls are on the go and there seems to be no stopping! Since Easter, Addison has started soccer; yes, along with gymnastics. She is enjoying it. Although I am convinced she is not sure what to be doing out there. She is the only girl on the team, and those boys really know what they 
are doing! We kind of fell into a great way for her to experience it with minimal cost to us, so that has been very helpful! Addison has successfully learned to ride her bike; with training wheels. We bought her a new bike, and she is really enjoying it now. I am not sure what was wrong with the other bike, but she just could not manuver it well. She is hesitant to ride on our driveway becasue there is an ever so slight grade to it, and she just takes off. "mom, I don't like riding my bike real fast". We got to see The Chapman girls of Wichita! Tyler and Latisha and family came to York for a weekend visit. We took the older 2 girls (Addison and Londyn) to Lincoln to watch the NCAA gymnastics championships. I think Mom and Dad had more fun than Addison! She enjoyed watching the big girls flip through the air and jump on the balance beam. The uneven bars were on the opposite side of where we were sitting as was the vault. I think Addison did enjoy it; even though she kept asking me when we were going to leave. I told her numerous times we could leave if she wanted to. "No mommy. I just wanted to know when it would be over"! Addison and Londyn really enjoyed playing together and had some fun times over the weekend. When Tyler and Tish told her it was time to go home, Londyn protested a bit and said she wasn't ready to stop playing with Addison and Liv!! They really did play well together and had a great time! I think this may be the 1st time, that they all played together and didn't want to stop playing!
We have had some unusally nice weather lately and the girls have been playing outside. Last week, Addison had her friend over to play. There were so hot playing outside, they wanted to come in. I had Olivia and Ella sleeping insde, so I let them play with the hose to pass the time and keep cool!! They played outside for almost 3 hours straight!
And one so you can check out what Ella has been up to...growing and no sorting through her clothes and deciding what she wants to keep and what to get rid of.
We had a wonderful Easter weekend; spent at home. It was nice to just be home and not feel like we were running all over. Our Easter celebrations started with an Easter egg hunt at one of Addison's friends churches. Unfortunatly, Addison got into some trouble shortly before leaving and did not get to participate. Olivia, however, had a great time searching for Easter eggs and loose candy on the ground. Depending on how many children were participating in each age group determined how many eggs the kids got. Liv got to find 11 eggs, and pick up all the loose candy she wanted. Dad wanted her to find as many Reese's Peanut Butter eggs as she could!! After lunch we tried to head to the Heartland Events Center for a Family Fun Day. Turned out they were overwhelmed with the response, ran out of food, ran out of goodie bags and we never made it in. We wasted some time at the mall and then headed home for a warm Easter dinner.
