Let's Go Fly a Kite

Well since it was windy on Saturday we decided to buy kites. Of course once you do that the wind dies considerably! Not that that is really bad I just wish I had thought of buying kites earlier! That way maybe we wouldn't have had to sit through two bitterly (due to the wind) cold soccer games that day!

Anyway, on the way home, Aly fell asleep so she has yet to fly a kite because again today....it's snowing!!!!!!!! There is plenty of wind to go along with it but I am sure not taking them out to fly kites.

As you can see they still got them up during gusts of wind.We luckily have the perfect yard for flying kites. Emma's kite, at the top, is a fish, Lacey's is a turtle, and Aly's (not pictured) is a ladybug. The girls had fun even though it was a bit chilly.

Now see the below picture. That is today! I am considering divorce for my husband bringing me here. I think nothing will ever be green until it gets warmer. It is very pretty when my lawn turns green. Yes there is lawn.

Emma's first soccer practice

Well Emma had her very first soccer practice today. She felt like such a big girl. She had her own "soccer shoes", shin guards, and soccer socks. She did great but you would think that with how much soccer she has been around because of Lacey she would know not to pick up the ball. But every time that the ball went the wrong way she still would pick it up to put it back where she wanted! She had a blast though even though our fingers were about to fall off because it was soooooooo cold again! Lacey's first practice for the season was on Monday and of course she di great even though it was sprinkling. Shocking that it wasn't snowing I know but the weather made up for that last night by leaving another light coating in our yard. I am very ready for this six month winter to stop!!!!

Tramp

Well the girls got a new toy today. We got a new puppy and Emma named him Tramp (after the Disney movie for those of you with minds like my husband). He is a yellow lab and has beautiful blue eyes. They love him! Well except for Aly who screams every time he sniffs her.

She loves him to death but he can't get too close or she freaks.

Emma loves him like crazy.

And Lacey can't get enough. Ruby, our other dog seems to like him too. WIN WIN!

Easter

Well Easter brought a big crowd for the Teel family. My parents, both brothers, and both sisters as well as all their kids came to Pocatello. I have five bedrooms so everyone but poor Ronnie had a space for all their things. Ronnie does have less stuff since he is single and has no kids yet. Anyway it was wonderful to have everyone together since it has been a long time since we all have been. It was loud but what do you expect when there are 13 kids and 11 adults all in one house? The kids had a great time and so did the adults. And something crazy for my family happened....not one blow-up!!! It was great.

Above is my parents with all the grandkids (except Jake and Michelle who couldn't make it.)

Here are all the grandkids.

Here are my beauties.
And the egg hunt with that many kids is crazy but they still all had fun. Here is Aly and she actually has a clue what to do this year.

Last but not least above is Emma and below is Lacey. At least I have a big enough yard for all the kids.

Helping Dad

Lacey, Emma, and Aly are painters now. Lacey and Emma helped Jerame paint their helmets yesterday. Unfortunately I wasn't there to take pictures so I got a couple today of Emma and Aly (although Aly didn't really paint but thought she was!)! I'll post finished pictures when all the paper and tape is off.
