More from March

Young Men's Campout to Luxembourg.  Nathan enjoyed visiting the American Cemetery there.
Going along with our annual tradition of a Favorite Things Party here in Germany, a couple of friends and I threw another one together in the beginning of March.  We had a great turnout and a fun time, as usual.  Such a fun party!





Sawyer lost his first tooth!!  It happened while I was gone one night, so Nathan took this picture of him right afterwards.  He looked more miserable than he felt!  I took a better one the next morning on the way out the door to school.  




And of course, on March 17th we had a visit from the Leprechaun (same day the tooth fairy came, actually)...



We also hosted Joy School at our house that day...




Another day of Joy School where we all went to the library.  


The kids loved their fruit rainbow on St. Patrick's Day...



And I made a bigger one for a bachelor party that night ;)...


Isla got very interested in my makeup one day...


And Sawyer is starting to have a serious love for steak.




I let Isla ride the pony's at the BX one day while Violet was at preschool.  She loved it!


We attended Sawyer's Art Gala at school one night.  He was very proud of his Fox art. 


And Violet was so excited to run into Kelly Koala!  Can't believe this girl will be in Kindergarten here next year!


Easter Breakfast...

Marathon Club





Family Movie night--complete with tent in the living room.


The Last Snow Hurrah!

We made one more trip down to the Alps at the beginning of March.  Nathan really wanted to do one more sledding run, and I really wanted to go to the temple, so I agreed.  Just our family this time--which was kind of nice.  Nate did the Friday night session and I did Saturday morning, then we headed down to Interlaken for some fun in the snow.  Except this time he just took Sawyer and Violet.  Nathan found an indoor play facility for me to take Isla to.  It was perfect--both parties had a good time :).  



Violet totally fell asleep like this on her sled!  Apparently there was a good stretch where it was pretty slow going and Nate was pulling her along.






And this was our last snowfall at home.  I'm so grateful to have a husband who enjoys the snow, so I can send him out with the kids and stay inside to watch :).  


Their best snowman yet...


And we love being able to look out the window and see our snowman smiling back at us...



Boys who sled...

Nathan had a day off of work one Friday and he decided to pull Sawyer out of school and take him to an indoor ski facility in France.  They had a great time, and it helped Sawyer get a better feel for skiing.




Nate has been asked, several times now, to represent the dental clinic on our local military radio network (AFN--Armed Forces Network).  I am always impressed with his ability to just go in there and talk and be funny, while also being informative.  He's definitely a natural.
