Soccer one last time

Owen had his last soccer game as an Eagle Warrior a couple of weeks ago.  He had a blast playing and was sad that it was over.  We already signed him up for next year though so hopefully he can make it through the summer.
Owen scoring his very last goal.
Eagle Warriors, Eagle Warriors, OOH OOH OOH

After the game they arranged for some Storm Troopers to come surprise the boys.  They all loved it.

The Eagle Warriors and the Storm Troopers.  Needless to say all games and practices that were going on came to a stop as all the other little boys eyed the Storm Troopers.
Owen and Dad checking out the gun.
Coach Greg saying some nice things about Owen.  He loved coaching Owen.  Owen was the high goal scorer of the year (by far).
The boys and the Star Wars cake.
Look at my talent (ha ha ha).  Shirt with the boys hands for Coach Greg.

Easter

I was in charge of our Ward's Easter Egg Hunt.  I had to fill about 450 eggs (which ended up not being enough).  The kids had a great time though and got way too much candy.
Norah looking for eggs. 
Owen helped hide all of the eggs so he knew where to look. 
Cute little Norah and her basket of eggs.

Coloring Easter Eggs.   
Easter Morning.  Norah got some Tag books, a new dress, a new toothbrush, and a church magnet book.  And LOTS of candy.  I don't think she ate anything but candy for 3 days straight. 
Finding the eggs from the Easter Bunny. 
Owen was actually really good about letting Norah get some eggs too.  He got a new church outfit, a game, a toothbrush that he hates and won't use anymore, chalk, and a Book of Mormon coloring book.

More Birthday Fun

We went to Monkey Mania to celebrate Norah's B-day
There was a room to shoot balls at each other.  They tried to make me their target. 
There was a little exercise room which both of the kids will tell you was their favorite room but they hardly spent any time in it. 
There was a dress up room with tons of different costumes for both boys and girlos.  This really was their favorite room. 

Opening presents.  She got her kitchen in the morning and then she opened an ice cream play dough kit, Tangled, a dress, purse, and lovely hat from Gma and Gpa Mac, pots and pans for her kitchen from Gma and Gpa Wilde, and a princess book. 
Owen gave her Tangled. 
The birthday cake.  She originally wanted a  princess castle cake but I finally talked her into an ice cream roll cake.  They were delicious and she loved them. 
Norah, Maggie, and Luci all dressed up in princess clothes being pulled in the wagon by Owen.

Norah Lyn is 3!
