Softball Begins!

 Spring Softball has begun, which means many nights at the ball fields. Games start next week! They have had practices and scrimmages against other Osky teams. Avery is doing her first year on an all-girls Rookies team, and Aubrey is doing her 2nd year of all-girls Minors teams! Steve is helping with Avery's team. We're super proud of them working hard and for Aubrey for trying pitching for the first time !

Aubrey has put in a lot of work about learning pitching. Her coaches haven't really helped her a lot, so we've done a lot of researching and practicing at home. Even in her two scrimmages she's done, she's gaining confidence on the mound!

We were thrilled to have Grandpa and Grandma VG out for Grandparent's Day at Osky Christian, so they were able to watch Aubrey's scrimmage where she pitched an inning, got a hit and scored! 

Easter Things

Only Avery accepted my invitation to sit with the Easter bunny this year. 

Dying Easter eggs on Good Friday. (I like the "cross" that the windows made)

It warmed up a bit in the morning for an outdoor egg hunt around our yard with the girls.

Our decorated windows for Easter. 

Easter surprises laid out the night before Easter. 

The best family shot we got for the day! The morning at church was busy, since I was on praise team and we forgot to grab a pic. 

IT SNOWED! Out at Grandpa Craig and Grandma's Char's farm - no egg hunt outside this year!

Grandma Char hid eggs inside and each had coins in that they could cash out for prizes. Here's what Avery picked out this year. 

Aubrey's winnings :)

 

Gems Pinewood Derby

Aubrey chose to participate in the GEMS/Cadets Pinewood Derby at our school.

She chose to make a pencil design, which turned out pretty well!

The 5th grade class cars.

The results...Aubrey got a solid 8th place out of 9. 

The dads trying to get those wheels tightened for the turtle race - lol! 

All the GEMS girls who decided to race. 

 

NWI Spring Break - pt 2

On Saturday morning, us and Grandma VG went to Spirit Lake 

to watch Camryn play in a volleyball tournament. 

We then were able to visit Grandma Post, too. Ash and Camryn talked through the window and the girls and I were able to visit inside for a little while. 

On our way home we took the scenic route and went down memory lane in Ocheyedan.

We walked up the mound and reconfigured the white rocks to make a "K" for Kaisand.

Stopping by to visit Grandpa Post's grave site.
