Bible School

Both Kyler and Madeline participated in "High Seas Expedition" Bible School. Each day they had fun with games, snacks, crafts, Bible stories and singing. On Sunday they performed some very cute songs for church. We were afraid Kyler might get stage fright at the program, but he did a great job singing all the songs and doing the actions.

Dance Recital

Madeline completed her 6th year of dance. At the recital she performed a ballet dance with her group and then a duet. Her duet was to Beauty and the Beast. She was happy to get a trophy following the recital.

Field Day

Madeline's PE teachers organized a Field Day for the school. She had a lot of fun doing some interesting events. She was very excited that the girls beat the boys at a tug of war contest. Her comment, "that just proves girls are better than boys."

Nebraska Spring Game

Travis took the kids to the Nebraska Spring Game this year. They enjoyed a beautiful day watching football. During halftime they were able to go onto the football field to take a drug-free pledge. Kyler has been working on his three point stance so he had to show it off on the field. Of course, dad says this is only the first time of many that he will be playing football on the Husker field!

Easter

We had beautiful weather for Easter weekend. We went to church and had an Easter egg hunt at home. Kyler was very excited to search for eggs and even more excited when he found out there was candy inside! Madeline just noticed that the eggs looked just like the ones from last year.

Taylor Swift

As a birthday present from her parents and both grandparents, Madeline got tickets to the Taylor Swift concert in Wichita. She was very excited as this was not only her first concert but also one of her favorite singers. Travis and her sat in the sixth row so were very close to see all the action. She was absolutely thrilled when she got home with her t-shirt and other souvenirs.

Flat Stanley Night

Madeline's third grade class did a unique project known as Flat Stanley. We had to send Flat Madeline to stay with a friend or relative in another state/country for a couple of weeks. Madeline chose to send her "flat self" to our good friends Ryan and Aggie in Houston, Texas. While there Ryan and Aggie had to take Flat Madeline around with them and take pictures and write about what she saw. Flat Madeline had a unique experience in that Ryan is a pilot for a major airline so she not only went to Houston but also New Orleans, Philadelphia, Orlando and Fort Launderdale. Madeline then put together a poster with the pictures and tales of Flat Madeline's adventure. A special night was held at the school to show all the projects. A very special thank you to Ryan and Aggie for undergoing this project.
