April 2021

  Teaching at school is very interesting during Covid. The district would like us to walk around with these shields to help Protect us while helping the students. I don’t do that but I do wear a mask and I thought it would make for a funny picture behind the shield.

Thursday, April 1st was our first mini swim party. Carter had Noah and Ander here for the afternoon. We can’t wait to use our pool all summer long!

Anders mom my friend, Mary has her own flower business. She makes these beautiful bouquets. I was so excited to get one for Easter weekend.

After a day of swimming the boys had fun watching movies in the movie room.

Friday, April 2nd Was the first day of spring break. Mia  came over for the day. Her and Aubrey made arrangements to meet up with their other friend, Devon for lunch at Port of subs. After lunch they came over and made cake pops and hung out.

Saturday, April 3rd We did our family traditional Easter egg dying. We always have so much fun coming up with new dying techniques.

Even Rango join in the fun this year.

Already for the Easter bunny!

Sunday, April 4 Easter morning…

The kids were thrilled to get their baskets. It was so much fun finding Easter eggs all around our huge new house. It was fun seeing the new hiding place that the Easter bunny came up with. 

Dad and I decided it would be fun to give the kids an Easter gift this year…

Huge floaty‘s for our new pool!!!

They are so fun and looks so cool floating around the pool.

Easter Sunday it was warm enough to kind of get in the pool.

We got to host the Schillerstrom Easter party this year. I really wanted to make something fun so I found this idea to make fancy carrots. They came out very yummy and looked really cool.

Spencer made his special deviled eggs. They are the best deviled eggs in the whole wide world!

It is so fun to have a designated dining room. Our Easter table came out so cute.

Yay the family arrived! The weather was so perfect we got to enjoy hors d’oeuvres poolside!

With the weather being so beautiful we took the opportunity to take some fun family pictures.

And then it was dinner time everything came out great.

For dessert Titi made these adorable bird nests.

And I made a carrot cake.

After all the Easter festivities we said good night to titi and gaga and their dogs. We were excited that Nana and Papa got to stay the night. We all watched a movie and then had a slumber party. It’s so great also having a designated guestroom so we host big slumber parties!! 

Monday April 5th we took Nana and Papa down to the Fresno Zoo for the day. We had a blast looking at all the animals and being together.

Nana and Papa we spoil the kids with the fun trinkets!!

After the zoo we said our goodbyes. It was a really nice visit.

Wednesday, April 7th We went on a big family bike trip to the UC. We also did what is called Geo catching. It’s where we use our phone and basically go on a scavenger hunt around town and find things that others have left behind. It was very fun!

Thursday April 8th We went as a family to the new escape room in Atwater. Who knew we had an escape room so close? It was a fun cabin theme escape room and we all loved it!

Friday April 9th We went up to Modesto to go mini golfing. Before mini golfing we stopped and had lunch at red robins.

Our waitress saw Carter doing his Rubiks cube and was so impressed that she had another waitress come over and watch and then the owner come over and watch.  They were all very impressed that they gave Carter a free ice cream for dessert.

Mini golf time!

And rock climbing

Saturday, April 10th Was just a chill day but that evening I got to go on a date with my boyfriend!

Sunday, April 11th Carter had a fun birthday party to go to.

Monday, April 12th finally came for Aubrey!!! She officially gets to go to in person school! Her schedule is similar to Carter’s except she starts at 8:45 and ends at 12. Because I am working at Peterson and have to be there at 8:30 this means she has to walk to school on her own. I was very nervous so I called up one of her friends moms and asked if she could drop Presley off at our house so they can walk together. It actually helped her out because she needed to drop Presley off before she went to work at 8am. So Presley comes over at 8 and the girls hang out before school and then walk together at 8:40. Since this was the first day I took the morning off of teaching so I could be there to make sure she got off safe.

Mia ended up coming over as well. So the three of them walked together.

And there off!

Dad with his work buddy!

Tuesday April 13th Mia came with Aubrey to paint activity at church. 

Wednesday April 14th Spencer went and picked up grandma. We got to have her stay with us for a few nights. 

Friday night we took her out to dinner. 

Saturday April 17th Was the Supinger’s Easter party in the bay area at Shellece’s house. It was so fun getting a picture of all the cousins that were there that day.

The kids all had fun with the Easter egg hunt in the backyard.

We also celebrated the spring birthday is that day.

Any opportunity I have to give an airplane as a gift I do it! Little colson was turning one and he loved the little people airplane we got him.

Carter was excited that we got to celebrate his 11th birthday at the party.

Birthday buddies!

We were so excited to get our new bedroom set and a new mattress!!! We now have a king!!! It came out so nice. It was hard to say goodbye to our old bedroom because it was a gift for a wedding from my parents but we were able to sell it on craigslist which was great.

Her roses in our backyard are beautiful!

We bought this meat rack for our gym.

Since the kids don’t have to go to school on Wednesdays we had Noah over Tuesday 20th to hang out and spend the night. They were excited to wear matching jammies! 

We took a fun walk frozen world for dessert. 

Back home for a spa!

Then they got to do virtual school together on Wednesday.

My cute 3rd grade class!!!

The school is trying Anything and everything to be as normal as possible. They even ordered masks for the instruments in band. Aubreys trumpet even has a mask!

Thursday, April 22nd was earth day. We had fun making some birdfeeders….

It was so wonderful getting to spend time with the aunts!!

Tuesday, April 27th Carter and I had a lunch date together.

We took the dogs and Rango on a walk

To get my students to come with a fully charged Chromebook to school I have come up with a treasure box incentive. It’s been fun buying little trinkets to put in the treasure box.

Carter is such a great artist he drew this self portrait of his best friend and Ander.
