Testimony of a 4 year old

Just had to write down a few of the funny things Rowen has said lately. On Sunday, we were in the chapel after church while Bailee was practicing the organ and Ro went up to the microphone and says, "I sorry about all the problems you been havin. I so sorry." Then the second time he says, "Can I get an Amen--AMEN!"



At church yesterday, Ro said to his teacher Hay hay, I gonna marry you. Don't tell my mom!



Then he said Hay Hay you give me kiss. So she kissed him and a girl behind them in primary said that better be your mom or that is sick. Ro said No it my girlfriend!



Today he got out some athletic tape and he said, "I need this for my booby." then I said, "Rowen don't say that." He said, "Mom, I not mean my round thing you know like girls have-- I mean my owie." Too funny.

Easter, Conference and Spring break

This is one for the Books

Bailee's team the Honey Creek Bees ended their basketball season in March. They won the Vigo county Championships and got 2nd in State. Go Bees! It came with a lot of exciting games and even a few nail biters.

They played Otter Creek and won it in the last minute. It is a rivalry that has been going on for years.

Here is the team right after the win.

Bailee getting a post game pep talk from Coach Davis. Coach Davis is great. She reminds me of Emily Williams--my favorite coach ever.

Bailee and Lexi--Now smiling after a hit in the mouth.

Bailee and Jessica.

Bailee and Shelby.

Cutting the net down AGAIN!!

Bailee and Emily (the high scorer!)
Caoch Davis and her daughter Keeley (who dresses up like the bee for all the games).

Then the team went on to Fort wayne to play in the State tournament. The Spiece Fieldhouse is incredible. Here is the store.

Bailee was able to play every minute in the games. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Elly, Bailee, Mary (another girl on the team) and I stayed over night and had a great time. Here is Elly staying by a statue of the World's tallest man. HUGE!

Biff turns 39!

How scary is it that we both turn 39 this year. It wasn't as bad until last week one of my best friends had her birthday and she turned 50. I told Biff, "I can't believe our friends are 50." Funny how it hits you that years are screaming by!! Ahhhhh...

Biff and the kids--we can't get a picture of everyone being normal.

Happy Birthday Biff! And with Biff's birthday comes our anniversary. We have now been married 17 Awesome years!

Spring Break

This year we went to St. Louis to hit the temple. We stayed overnight at the Drury Inn and had a ball. Then we spent the Easter weekend watching General Conference, dying Easter Eggs and having lots of fun together. We went to Turkey run one day and had an awesome hike. That place is so beautiful. On Friday, we went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Ohio. It was a total blast and everyone loved it. I recommend it to anyone for a great time. We hope to go back again this summer. It is right by King's Island so it would be a fun trip. We also hit an outlet mall and then went to Indy on Saturday night. We stayed at the Hyatt. Biff had an event for ISU so we had a great time. Before we left I ironed my dress and then went to iron his shirt which turned pink from my burgundy dress. The only place we could find a shirt that fit was at Norstrom's for $135. You know me-cheapo-was dying so luckily Bailee found one for half the price. Still enough to make you scared :). They steamed it and we were back in business. The funny part is that the reception was so dark that it would not have mattered pink or not! oh well..
We went to church in Zionsville the next morning and had lunch with Page. It was a great weekend! The only bad part--forgot the Camera--oops!! Next time.
