Spring Games
This spring Jackson is playing both soccer and t-ball. It is his second year of soccer and his first of t-ball. Needless to say that between practices and games and work schedules we have stayed pretty busy.

Memorial Day
This year Spring is taking it's sweet time getting here. Memorial Day was the one exception. It turned out to be a beautiful day! We decided to go up the Kettle Moraine Forest with the Tollstams for a family beach & picnic day. It was a lot of fun and we are so blessed to have made such wonderful friends!

Easter Bunny & Tooth Fairy
Last week was a pretty big week for Jackson. He had a visit from both the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. On Sunday we noticed he that had one loose tooth and by Sunday evening there were two! He wiggled them most of the night and the next morning and when I picked him up from school that day I wasn't surprised that he had lost one. Not only lost as in came out but really lost it. He said he put it in his pocket for safe keeping but we were not able to find it. When we got home from school we called Nana to tell her the news and as we were talking to her the other came out. Two teeth in one day! Of course that evening we had to make a letter for the Tooth Fairy. Jackson decided he wanted to type a letter to her and this is what it said " Der toothe fairy, I lost my two tethe. Plez lev me mane. Jackson" He sounded out the words he didn't know. :) At bedtime we put the letter and his tooth in a plastic bag under his pillow and the next morning he had $6 dollars from the tooth fairy.
The following Sunday was Easter and Jackson wasn't let down by the Easter Bunny. He woke early, as normal, and went to find his basket. The Easter Bunny was sneaky and hid it downstairs but filled it with books, legos, cookies, chips, a movie and a new stuffed bunny. After finding his basket and checking out the goodies, Jackson was ready to hunt for the Easter Eggs. It was a little chilly so he had to wear a coat and hat, but that didn't stop him from running after all the eggs. He even brought Bunny out to help him find the eggs.

Spring Break
Jackson's Spring Break was early this year, the end of March and during bball season. Of course we were glued to the TV watching the NCAA tournament and cheering on the CATS but it was also time for the HS tournaments as well. Since moving north, Brandon has gone each year to East Lansing with his dad to watch the MI HS boys tournament. This year it just happened to be at the same time as Jackson's Spring Break so we all decided to go to MI. While he and his dad were watching bball Jackson & I had fun visiting with family and friends. We had a sleepover at my sisters and he was in heaven playing with his cousins. I hope they are always that excited to see each other.
After the long weekend in MI we headed back home. Although Jackson was on spring break Brandon & I still had to work. So Nana was kind enough to come back with us and spend the week with Jackson. On our way back to WI we stopped in Chicago to go to the lego store downtown. Jackson LOVES legos and I have to admit that it really was a fun stop! Jackson had soo much fun playing with Nana that week. We all did. Thank you Marcia!!

Brewers Opening Day
Brandon & I were able to get tickets this year to Opening Day at Miller Park to watch the Brewers vs. the Braves. We both love going to Miller Park and watching the games so to get Opening Day tickets was wonderful!! You would think that the beginning of baseball season would mean the beginning of spring or at least somewhat warmer weather, but not this year. We actually woke up to dark, cloudy skies, with strong winds and then it hailed. Thankfully this all happened before we left the house so we knew to dress in layers (the park has a retractable roof but it's always cold inside). This was our first Opening Day and we know how crazy Brewer fans are but we weren't prepared for the parking situation. We left what we thought was early enough to get a space but apparently people had been waiting in line shortly after 7am (the lots didn't open til 10). So we ended up parking about a mile or so away and walked in the freezing cold to the park. Fortunately by the time we got to the park we only had to wait about 15 mins for the doors to open. Who was throwing the first pitch was a HUGE secret and when some of the Packers came out on the field to throw it, the entire place went NUTS!! It was a cool moment! Unfortunetly the Brewers lost to the Braves but what a wonderful way to spend a Monday!
