Did you know....

....that Rachel likes to fix hair? Not only her own, but anyone else who will sit still! This gorgeous head of hair belongs to her friend Abbi. She came over to play and Rachel fixed her hair like this all by herself! I was pretty impressed. I don't know many 6 year old's that can come up with (check out the zig zag part!) and execute such a cute do! She takes after her Aunties:)

Update on Rhea- Rhea

I wanted to post a quick update on Rhea-Lynn. She is right in the middle of treatment where she goes 5 days a week for focal radiation. They are hoping to shrink/ stop the tumors growth. She started loosing her hair in big clumps so she cut it super short (which is really cute) and also got this gorgeous wig! Can you say super model?!

Our amazing daddy takes her to most of her radiation treatments. Rhea-Lynn was feeling very sad and out of control when her hair started to fall out and my dad was comforting her by telling her hair doesn't make you beautiful, it what is on the inside that counts. He said when he got home later, he felt like the words didn't have much meaning so he decided to shave his head too. How awesome is our daddy! I don't know about you, but I think he is a super fox with a shaved head!

Please continue to pray for our sweet Rhea Rhea. She can feel them!

Happy Easter!

This year we had an Easter "Season"! Jeff had to travel over actual Easter, so we spread ours out a little. Did you know that the Easter Bunny is really flexible? We kept our kids home on Friday morning because the Bunny came to our house Thursday night! They were both super excited to get to go to school late:)

Easter Baskets

Hunting for jelly-beans!

Preston is obsessed with putting holiday accessories on his head! Here he is with Rachel's bunny ears.

On Saturday, we spent the afternoon with Nana and Pop Pop at a farm! This is usually the pumpkin patch in the fall, but they opened it up for Easter this year.

(Preston and Dad are at a wrestling tournament. Preston took first!)

Rachel hunting for eggs

I would say she got a few:)

I think holding this sweet bunny was her favorite thing...

but feeding and petting this baby goat was a close second!

She LOVES animals!

By the way, don't you love the hot pink lei? Gotta love a little girl with her own sense of fashion!

Sunday morning dressed for church.

(Some a little more "dressed" then others)

Happy Easter!

Spring Break

We decided to stay close to home this year for spring break and get some things done around our house. We did plan a fun camping trip though! We drove a few hours away to go through a neat drive through zoo. Nana and Pop Pop followed us down in their car then we all piled in ours!

Rachel LOVED not having to buckle up! She helped daddy drive quite a bit:)

It looks like we weren't the only ones how decided to go to the zoo. Look at the line of cars!! Gotta love spring break!

This was such a cool place. The animals were so tame. They came right up to the car and ate out of our hands.

We got to see some adorable babies too! Rachel and I wanted to take these little twins home!

What a fun day! After the Zoo we found a beautiful camp site to spend the evening.

Preston was in charge of the fire

Rachel helped with the tent. Gotta love the hat!

We had a fun night making smores and sitting by the fire. We had a not so fun night of forgetting our pillows and freezing to death! Rachel "slept" with mommy in the same sleeping bag. There was not very much sleeping happening. I always say I can handle anything for one night:)
