Do You Want To Build a Snowman?
This is Braden's first snowman! He was so excited to be able to do this. I actually love spring snowstorms - they bring the best snow for building. School was even canceled for this storm, first time since Hailey has been in school.

Watiki Water Park
We spent half of spring break visiting family in Sheridan and Moorecroft, WY and the other half staying in Rapid City, SD. This is our 2nd trip to Watiki Water Park there in Rapid City. Braden was old enough to go down the big water slide with Warren and gave it one thumb up and one thumb down. I don't blame him - it is some scary fun 👍👎😜.

"Happy Birthday, Dear Braden"
5 years ago we welcomed this little guy into the world!
We had a wonderful all day celebration. The kids had dentist appointments and Braden even got to pick out a present there - a pin ball machine.One of our birthday traditions for the kids is to let them open one present first thing in the morning - new clothes ☺️. It has become a tradition for Braden's cakes to have beloved characters on top. This year he chose "Frozen" but when he heard it was an ice cream cake he was apprehensive. I assured him there was actual cake in it as well. (Get it? A"frozen" cake...)
After seeing the cake, any qualms were quickly forgotten. He decided he needed a BIG piece before he even tasted it and, of course, he loved it!🎉
😘 Note to Hailey:
Don't forget your birthday was a 2 day celebration/week-long vacation in your favorite place in the whole world at Grandmas and grandpas. Love you,too!
