Radley was beyond excited to get to participate in a sport! He no longer had to just sit and watch his brothers play. He finally got to play!! It was even better because Daddy got to be his coach. He was a great little hitter, and he ran fast. He didn't get confused like a lot of the other kids about where to run or where to throw the ball. Kenney got kinda frustrated with a few players because it seemed like the parents wanted them to play and the players themselves were completely disinterested. However, those were some of the most entertaining to watch!!
It seems like we can fill up any and every weekend with something. April was no different. We knew the Buick was not going to last us too much longer so Kenney had been looking for a new car. He found one in Lubbock and decided to take a trip to see if he should buy it. It ended up being quite the process and had a few bumps, but he ended up driving home in a Toyota Camry with functioning AC!!! It's nice to have a reliable and fully functioning vehicle.
We also had a Primary Activity this month. We wanted to kids to do a service project of some kind rather than just doing all fun stuff. However trying to come up with service 3-11 years olds can all do was difficult. So we decided to make a paper craft for some residents at a local nursing home and then sing to them. It went really well! Afterwards the kids got to play some games and had a good time.
Bentley requests to get her nails painted everyday!! She loves being pampered.
Kenney's, new to him, Camry.
We are officially a Toyota Family now!
Wearing as many leis as she can find.
Getting set up to sing their songs at the nursing home.
Singing I Am a Child of God and I Know My Heavenly Father Loves Me.
We had our annual Keys family dinner/egg hunt this year at Kevin and Kerry's house. It's nice to have another place we can gather without being on top of one another. We had some very nontraditional but really yummy fajitas for dinner and then got down to business and had some eggs hunting. Poor Damon got a migraine so he wasn't able to join the fun. He slept off his headache instead. However, we gathered some eggs for him too. As always the kids got tons of candy and had a blast!
All the Dads hiding the eggs.
Ready to go!
Yes Bentley insisted on wearing a scarf to hunt eggs.
Looking for eggs all over.
Beautiful full moon to help give some extra light.
These kids are crazy and fun. Here are a lot of pictures of Radley being goofy. I also started watching Kendra's baby. She is the PTA that works with Kenney, and her daycare spot was available until later, so I volunteered to watch him for a couple months. He's the sweetest baby. Radley and Bentley love having him here, and all the kids are really good with him. It's weird having a baby around the house again.
He falls asleep in the funnies positions in the car.
Selifies in always tend to find on my phone.
Two sleeping babies.
They always have to hold baby Owen.
She really does love Owen unless she wants my undivided attention; then she tells me to put him down.
This is Bentley helping me make dinner. Usually she just climbs on the counter and eats all my ingredients. Here she is making a dramatic show of eating cheese. I'd like the say the dramatics are rare, but they are definitely the normal with her.
After Kyler's baptism, we all headed to the gym to watch Kyler and Damon play in their last basketball game. They had so much family support it was crazy. Almost all the Keys family that lives in Childress was there and all my side that came for the baptism. It was awesome! We got some lunch, headed to the store, and then hung out at the house the rest of the day. While we made dinner, Shandi got some eggs ready to do an egg hunt.
This girl had fun gathering eggs, but I have to say, she's much slower than her brothers!!
Discovering their treasure.
Shandi snuck in some carrots to some of the eggs; Kyler wasn't too happy about it!
Both of their faces, hahaha
The hunt begins...
Looking everywhere
Kyler couldn't run very fast on the hard ground without shoes.
Georgie caught on real fast and wasted no time gathering eggs!
Speedy Gonzalez
The kids had quite crowd watching.
Filling the eggs and hiding them was much easier than getting a picture of all the kids looking at the camera.
Later that night we had a dance party with all the kids. It evolved into a booty shaking party with scantly dressed children...
