Bennett and Emma spent most of their day on Saturday digging for Dinosaur bones. Bennett got a Dinosaur excavating kit for Christmas from Uncle Jeff. They had so much fun finding bones. It was like were hunting for a buried treasure.
It was another fast week. The kids started soccer. They will be going twice a week until the middle of May. Bennett was especially excited since this is his first opportunity to play organized sports.
Emma played with her school friend Abby this week. They always enjoy playing together.
Bennett spent an afternoon building a fort in his room. He pulled his curtains onto his bed and filled it full of stuffed animals.
Skylar's big accomplishments this week were learning how to blow a raspberry, she ate her first Cheerio (which she enjoyed very much), and today was the first day we didn't have to take her out of church. She is growing up so fast!
I feel like a say this every week but once again the week has flown by. Bennett had his Spring preschool program this week. He was very excited and did a great job! His favorite part was playing a cardboard guitar during one of is songs. We noticed he was the only one chording and strumming. He may have his Dad's love of the guitar. I am posting a picture of him and his buddies before the program. I tried to get a nice picture without the goofing around but, I finally gave up.
Matt has been working hard to get the yard in shape. We have had quite a bit a rain and it has really gotten green this week. The flowers are starting to bloom and it is fun to be outside. We have new neighbors next door. They have three children about the same age as ours and Emma and Bennett are enjoying running back and forth between houses. 
Skylar has had a big week. She is now crawling. We get such a kick out of watching her. It is not the traditional crawl yet. It is kind of a limp crawl, her left leg is the traditional crawling leg and the right drags behind extended. On Friday she started with a few scoots and today (Sunday) Emma got her to crimp(crawl/limp) all the way down the aisle at church (after church not during).
We had a busy week. All the normal activities plus a few extras thrown in. The weather is finally becoming springlike. Emma, Bennett, & Skylar have enjoyed playing outside. Dad was able to spend time working in the yard.
Bennett and his Dad got a short cut (hair cut) this week. Bennetts Grandma asked him who cut his hair and he said "Mike the shortcutter." Which made me think it might be fun to share some of what we call Bennettisms with you. I finally started writing them down. I keep a list on the fridge to add to frequently.
Skylar is growing like crazy! She is more and more independent everyday. She tries to keep up with her big brother and sister.
