Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!




The racing season begins in a couple of weeks.
Today, J & D with the help of their Dad
(or is it the other way around?), took the karts
out of the trailer and began getting them
ready to race. J worked on putting the
tires on his kart, while D worked on
getting the clutch ready for his engine.




J with his new Animal motor. Thanks Grandpa S., Uncle L.,
Aunt H. & Uncle K. for helping to make it possible. :-)

Homeschool Fun



For our life science studies this year, we are raising butterflies
and bullfrogs. Today was the day to place the chrysalis in their new
home. We've been raising Painted Lady caterpillars for a couple
of years now, and the process amazes us each time! God's
creations are amazing!




For the past two years, we've tried to raise African
Water Frogs.....with no success. They would get to the
point of having their back legs and then they would die.

This year, we're trying to raise bullfrogs. As you can see from
the pic, they're not very cute right now. :-) They can live a few years
and eat things that are living & moving! :-0 The boys are looking
forward to 'catching' their bullfrog's meals. Fortunately, we have a
good supply of crickets and worms in our yard. For now, they
are content to eat fish flakes and pellets.

Happy Easter!



Happy Easter to all our family and friends!

Easter Egg Fun



On Saturday, our church held it's annual Eggstravaganza.
Children from the chruch, preschool, and local community
came together to hear the Easter Story and hunt a few
eggs. J & D invited a couple of friends from our
neighborhood to join us this year. Even though the
weather was a little cool & damp, fun was had by
all!

Birthday Fun!


D wanted to celebrate his birthday at
the bowling alley but unfortunately it
wasn't possible. He decided to have a party
at home and invite some friends from
the neighborhood. We had homemade pizza,
played some games, including bowling, and
had cake and ice cream. Fun was had by all. :-)



A birthday at our house wouldn't be complete
without the race car cake! :-)
