April in Pictures

I thought you might enjoy some new pictures of the kiddos and an update on what has been happening in Keefer Country.  Here is the edited version.  Enjoy!

We celebrated Mom's March birthday at the beginning of April. 

Here she is with all her grandkids.

 The kids have been spending plenty of time playing inside

with all of this rain.  Notice that they are ready with their

rain boots.

 Random cute picture from after church. 

 Yes, Ben even wears his rain boots while brushing

his teeth in his underwear.  :)

 On a trip to the library we spotted a real life Mater.

A father/son team from our area revamped this tow

truck to look just like Mater.

 We took a fun weekend trip to Chicago.  We spent a

full day at the Museum of Science and Industry.

 We ate deep dish pizza in downtown Chicago.

 We walked around downtown and checked out the buildings

and sites.

 And we visited the Shedd Aquarium!

 The kids had a blast coloring and decorating Easter

eggs.

 Maggie got her first haircut.  Look at the bottom of

the pic and you can see Ben holding her hand to help 

her be brave.  It was pretty adorable.

 We celebrated Easter with the Keefer family.

 The kids got new chairs for the patio from us for

Easter, and the bunny brought them yummy baskets

of treats.

 We celebrated Easter with the Gaerte's and had some

fun on a barrel train ride with Grandpa. 

And last but not least Ben finished his first year of Awana with

his cousin (and best friend) Julia.  He memorized all of his bible verses and got to

celebrate at a special banquet and received a special treat.
