Homemade flowers!

In March I found a cool, easy way to make spring flowers with the boys. For those of you who know me well, know that I LOVE to make projects and I am blessed to have boys that LOVE making them with me! I hope this continues for awhile with Landon , as he gets older, we will see . What I am realizing is that the projects I want to make are perfect for Landon’s age but not for Jackson’s but he will not be left behind! He has to be in the mix and is very interested to do whatever big brother is doing! So, I let him paint with us and it was a little crazy and he tried to eat it but we had a great time and we made some pretty flowers!

Date day!

Directly after the Easter Egg hunt we hopped in the car without our kids and drove to Austria to stay for a night! Andrej and Nina so graciously agreed to watch our kiddos so we could have a little time to rest and be together! We went to Klagenfurt Austria which is right by a beautiful lake, since Brad is a lake guy, it was the perfect place for us to be! We walked around the lake, hung out in downtown Austria, went to a cute Easter Market and then drove back to Slovenia. We had a great time together and was such a blessing to take a night away in the middle of a busy season!

Easter Egg Hunt!

Our church family put on an Easter Egg Hunt! We dyed easter eggs, had story time, hunted for eggs and ate some good food! We had a GREAT time, it was so fun to work on this event together as a church and to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection together. Our boys had a wonderful time. The weather was AMAZING and it was just an all around GREAT day!

Pre-school family fun!

OK, so I back to blogging! We did a lot of fun things in the month of March and in April too, so I am going to start catching you all up! Some of you may know that when we came back to America Landon had new pre-school teacher’s. It took a bit to adjust but lately Landon really has felt like his normal self at pre-school. In March his new teacher’s invited all the parents and grandparents of the class to come and participate in some outdoor games. So we put on our gym clothes and had a great time playing with Landon’s class. The teacher’s did a great job organizing the event and it really was fun to play with Landon. Jackson wanted to be in the mix but is just a bit too little, so I chased him around and snatched pictures when I could while Brad and Landon participated in all the games and exercising.
Hope you enjoy the photos .

Alive and well!

Oh man! So sorry friends and family, it has been a month since I have posted! I will be back to blogging shortly! Just thought I would post a few silly photos of the boys so you would know that we are alive and well. March and April have been busy and full of many meaningful and special things that I can’t wait to share with you all! I will get you all caught up very soon!

Quick Update!

So, february came and went so quickly because our whole month was consumed with Winter Camp! As I said before it went really well and we are so grateful to God for moving in the hearts of our youth! Now it is March, we recovered from winter camp and then I went off to a JV women’s retreat. It was at the same place where we have our summer English Camp (castle in Austria). It was a worship and prayer retreat and exactly what my tired, weary heart needed! Brad watched our kids and had a great time with the boys! This was the first time that he watched the two boys for an extended period of time. When I came home he encouraged me by saying how impressed he is that I can watch the boys and get a lot of things done at the same time (yes, I am a multi-tasker, my husband is not !). So that is a quick update to catch you all up to speed on the Jenkins family. I don’t really have a picture to go with this post but I have a few of Jackson that I have not posted so I will put them in. This crazy little guy LOVES to dress up and put on hats, gloves, capes, headbands, whatever! He sure does have a great personality-both of our boys do, if I do say so myself .

Play time!

Last weekend Brad drove the American team (that helped us with camp) to the airport. While he was gone the boys and I just chilled! It was so good to spend quality time with my boys after a crazy camp! It was an ok day so we headed out to the park, our first time in a LONG time. We had such a good time. This was Jackson’s first time at the park since he has been walking. He was SO excited to be walking around, thrilled really! I sure do love my boys!
