So, spring has sprung and the King Family has sprung into action as well! We started out the season with our first camping trip to a campground down the street about 20min. It was weird for all of loading the car all up and being to our destination in 20 min. Were not used to driving for less than 2 hrs at least when we are all packed up!! We had a great weekend and really were lucky with the weather even though the nights were only 32 degrees!! It was nice to give the new camper a test run and we had a good time on our first venture. Although, the kids need to figure out a little more to do with themselves. How a 2 yr and 8 yr old can become so bored in the land of sticks, dirt, rocks and nature is beyond belief!!
Lets see.... we also visited G&G kay and mike for Easter which was a good time spending the weekend with them! Kids got their much anticipated Easter baskets filled with toys for camping.
We have been having some nice weather here at home and have been able to enjoy some time outside. Owen loves to ride his balance bike and is mastering the hill down the sidewalk where he can now coast all the way down with his feet up! We have spent some time with spring cleanup in the garage and on our new landscaping to see what has made it through the winter! Our basement has been all dry walled and we are getting ready to start some big painting projects with the room in the basement, remaining walls upstairs and our deck chairs we got from Kay and Mike at Christmas time! We are all really looking forward to summer time with the King Family reunion, camping, and visits to see family and of course some much anticipated nice weather!!!

Rainbow Connection Dance Competition
Grace had her second competition down in St. Charles IL over last weekend, March 19-21st. It was a long morning to say the least. Grace had to perform at 8:00, 9:30am and then had awards at 1:00pm. Her group did great earning a Platinum award for Jazz and High Gold for Tap. There tap number I thought was the better of the two but they were both great. We were able to go to the hotel that afternoon and enjoy some down time with the team with swimming and pizza. It was great to get to meet some of the other parents and get to know one another!!
Potty Success!!
Well, I think I am able to say that Owen is officially potty trained!! Lets see, he told me one night as I was putting him to bed which I believe was Monday March 9th that he wanted to go on the potty and wear big boy undies. I told him that we could do that and start right away in the morning. Well, about 5 min. later he came out of bed and told Aaron he had to go, which he did!! The next day we put undies on. We had a lot of cleaning up to do that day but we didn't give up!! By the end of the week he somewhat had the hang of things but going #2 on the potty was still a chalenge. So, as of today in the last week and a half we have only had a few accidents here and there. Most of the time it is when he is busy playing outside. It sure has been nice not having to change poopy diapers or buy them for that matter!! So happy this is under our belt before summertime!!
On another note. We went to the grocery store today and Owen called some old lady Mrs. Potato Head. I think she was hard of hearing and couldn't tell exactly what he said. She just said your sure right, laughed and kept moving!
I also heard him talking to himself at the store while in the produce section. There was a baby making some noise. I heard Owen say, "Its ok baby, don't cry. Are you hurt baby? Im a doctor, I can help you baby. What hurts baby? Your head? Let me see baby. Ohh, baby you will be ok, Im a doctor and I can fix it." What a ham!!
