Easter 2011

Easter was kind of a weird and busy weekend for us this year.  We bought new floors for our house and so Curt decided he wanted to put them in while he had an extra day off on Good Friday.  Our friends Jeremy and Nick came over and helped on Friday.  They all worked so hard and Curt worked into the early morning.  The kids and I just decided to stay at my mom's house because it was so busy and the house was torn to pieces!  Curt called on Saturday morning to ask if I could help because we weren't sure if we were going to have any help.  Reluctantly, I came home and helped him for about 11 1/2 hours on Saturday.  I was so impressed with myself and could not believe how hard a job it was!  Jeremy ended up coming to help and so did Crystal which was so great!  We got a lot done!  We brought the kids home late Saturday night so the Easter Bunny could come to our house in our sleep!
The kids were so excited about what the Easter Bunny brought us!  It just thrilled us to see their happy faces!  We went to church and had a great children's breakfast, Easter egg hunt, and worship celebration.   Brooklyn was so funny!  When the kids all ran out, they all stopped by the doors to get eggs...Brooklyn ran to the far side of the playground where no one was so she could have full reign!  She loved that!!!   We are so thankful for Christ's resurrection and love that Brooklyn knows what Easter is and why we celebrate the special day!  We joined my side and Curt's side of the family together and had our annual egg hunt, yummy lunch, and confetti egg war!  Brooklyn was the golden egg finder this year and she got a $5 bill in it!  She was thrilled!  Colson got to where he would shake the egg and call out MONEY or CANDY! 
WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

A Day at the Museum

A few weekends ago, we took the kids to the Houston Children's Museum.  We are members of The Woodlands Children's Museum but rarely get a chance to go into town to go to the big one!  There is so much to do and see and the kids truly had a great time!  Brooklyn's favorite was painting her own face!  Colson loved playing in the water outside!  It was so great because it was not busy at all and the kids got to play with no big kids around pushing them out of their way! 

 



Definitely the artists of the house!



She loved the butterfly I did for her!

Colson got a snake on his face...he was not still at all!

Our Day at the Ballpark

Brooklyn's best friend Ricky is playing Kball with Orwall this season for the first time!  After our bluebonnet outing, we went to watch the famous Ricky play ball!  He was so proud to be out there and took every opportunity he could to wave at us!  Brooklyn could always spot where Ricky was on the field when we couldn't spot him...all of the boys look alike with the uniforms on!
Fun Day!!!  Thank you for the invite!

Kindergarten Round Up

Well...our little girl is officially registered to be a Lemm Lion for next year.  We went to the kindergarten round up on Tuesday night and was thrilled to see tons of kids and parents.  I felt like a fish out of water because I didn't know anyone there, don't know anything about Klein schools, and was a bit nervous!  Brooklyn went with several of the teachers into the library where they told them about school next year, sang songs, read books, and watched a movie.  She had a blast and said she can't wait to play with bugs in science (I know Laurie will be proud)!  The teachers were telling her that she will have PE at school too and she actually raised her hand and told the teachers that her daddy is a PE teacher.  I was very impressed with her raising her hand and adding to the conversation!  Go Brooklyn!  I would have never done that as a kid....Curt and I were both extremely shy children.  Did all of the paper work and we are done!!

Brooklyn has....

LEARNED TO TIE HER SHOES!!!!!!!!!!  One of her homework assignments last week was to learn to tie her shoes.  We waited until Thursday night to really sit down and teach her.  I taught her the "Two bunny ear" method and it seemed to work.  The next day Curt taught her the other normal way and she started doing it that way.  All this week she has been doing it with the two bunny ears and is SO PROUD of herself.  I must say...it is hard to teach them to tie shoes....it is hard to describe how their hands need to move!  She is doing it every morning now totally on her own!  Last night we went to watch Bronte run in her last district track meet and she kept her shoes untied all the way there so she could show DeeDee and PapaD how she can tie her own shoes...she is ready for kindergarten!

Bluebonnets 2011

This is our family tradition with the Kuhns...we go out to attempt pictures in the bluebonnets.  It was fun this year but the whole area seems to not have a great crop of bluebonnets.  My Dad went with us on the trip and loved watching the kids take their pictures.  It was neat having him there...a great memory!
