First Float Of The Year
Oh how exciting. We are officially floating down the river for the first time if the season!!! LML!!!!
ALIVE AND WELL!
Hey all. YES, we are alive and well. I know, I know I have not been on in a very long time. But we have been so very busy.
Making supper as I type....turkey salad, Mmmm. Grilled turkey breast, craisins, nuts, romaine...and more. Yum. It's a simple supper so that we can eat super fast and get on the water!!!! Forecast for here today is 92! Finally!!
I maybe will try to make a couple posts from the river if my phone allows!
Love and miss you all!!

Pre-K Fun
Crazy to think that the school year is almost over. The year has gone by so very fast. Christopher heads off to Kindergarten next year. WOW! Where have the years gone???
Here is Christopher and his teacher. She is such a sweetheart. He had her MIL last year. He loves them both!
I had to take a picture of Carson's Hungry, hungry caterpillar print. It is so adorable!! I think I will have this be an art project for the kids!
These butterflies are all so very pretty. The are hanging from the ceiling by yarn. So when someone walks by they flow around.
All the kids did such a great job making them. The colors and the glitter sparkling make them pop! LOVE them! I see another art project with the kiddos ;-)

Just a quick stop in....
Hi everyone. So sorry that I haven't been able to get those posts I told you I was going to post. But I have been struggling to find the time :-(
We've been traveling, events, working, holidays and more...so I am hoping that I can come up for air in the next week. I will make a post soon, I promise!!
I hope you all had a super duper great Easter. We sure did! We were so blessed to be with lots of our family members on both sides. We fully enjoyed our time and are so thankful for them!
I will leave you with a couple teaser photos from our travels....more to come!
Much Love

Road Trip help from:
Ok so basically if you go here http://pinterest.com/rorikoch/on-the-road-again-just-can-t-wait-to-get-on-the-ro/ it's my Pinterest board "on the road again" and you can get all the links to the things I did for the trip....pretty much the majority of the items on this board I implemented into our trip! The kids loved everything!! Feel free to like, pin, or follow me
The kids loved this road trip so much Sam commented "can we do this stuff when we go to the cabin too" lol. Dad and I loved the kids games etc too. Made for a very quiet and very nice road trip! ! Honestly we traveled from MPLS to Charlotte, NC. Three days later NC to Sanibel Island, FL and I swear I only heard "how long until we get there" once!! And that was bc I fell asleep and didn't move the escalade through two cities!
The escalade I googled escalade photos and found a black and white coloring page. Which I colored black to match ours.
The kids loved getting "reward tickets" and also redeeming them for wrapped gifts and treats. The also loved all the printed games you can find in my on the road board. And really liked winning a prize for being the first one to yell BINGO and get the first prize.
I'm still shocked when I type this that the kids only watched 3 movies along the entire trip from Mn to FL. The entire rest of the time they were angels. I only had to say once to the boys that if they didn't stop arguing I would take down there clips. Instantly they were good again. WOW! I would definitely do this on almost every trip in our future!
I will make a more in depth post when I return home. Sadly the iPad doesn't allow me to do chain things! And changing the photo to the words is one it won't.
Bottom line it was a great road trip and we are fully enjoying our vacation.
