5th Grade Soccer

Savannah had her first spring soccer game(s) of 2010 this past Sunday. The weather was almost perfect, except when the sun would hide behind the clouds. Her all girls travel team played against two pretty tough teams which were Anthony Wayne and Perrysburg. They got beat in both games, but the girls did pretty good. I am sure by the second game they were exhausted. Savannah didn't score any goals this time, but she did a great job as always! There is a video at the at the bottom where I managed to catch a goal her team scored. Savannah is #11.

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was a very busy day for us. The kids woke up at 7:30 and headed downstairs to find their Easter baskets and hunt for eggs. And Nik had to leave early for church because this month we are doing a series called DJ Culture (a.k.a. discipleship journey not disc jockey). So Nik was asked by our pastor (who loves techno music) to spin records on stage before service and during the 5 minute break before the sermon. Nik was more than happy to. After service we headed to Kendallville for lunch at Grandma and Grandpa Baker's house. Grandpa Burkhardt wasn't feeling well that day though, so we missed him. And Savannah was just getting back from spring break in Florida, so she was very missed too! The kids enjoyed an egg hunt there as well. Lunch and the weather were just great. It was a good day to celebrate Jesus!

It was a long video, so in order to upload it, I had to minimize the MB and the quality isn't that great.


Barb and Eric came over for supper on Friday night and brought me this beautiful flower bouquet. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Someday Carter will probably kill me for these two pictures I am posting, but he is just too cute. Besides, I had to post the matching Easter shirts.


I call this picture the "Ric Stiver" pose. :) Love you dad! haha

This last picture was of the kids with Grandma Burkhardt at Grandma Baker's house. I tried to get them all to smile, but it didn't work out as planned. I think the picture is hillarious though.

Coloring Eggs

Mom and dad Burkhardt came over tonight to enjoy supper and some laughs. We took a fun family picture that makes me laugh because we are all smiling, but the boys are being so serious with their peace signs. After supper, the kids had fun coloring eggs. It was a great night!
