First Day of Kindergarten

My how time flies. Today was Will's first day of Kindergarten. His alarm went off at 7:30 am and he was dressed and ready to head out the door by 8:30. He has been really excited to start, but when I picked him up today, he really didn't have anything to say but that he liked it. He seemed to talk a little more about his day once we got home. Here are some pics before school started.

Frances had to be in the picture. Check out Will's new lunchbox.

He is now officially a Ryan Park Rhino!

Will and Maggie! This is their first year in different classes. Will has Miss Stewart and Maggie has Miss Weber. Will said they still ate lunch together today.

Summer Fun

It has been a long time since I have blogged. The summer has been very busy for the Krebs'. Here are a few pics from our visit with Uncle Kain, Aunt Mickey, and Cousin Nigel. We are going to miss them. They are leaving this week and we won't see them until Thanksgiving.

Frances loves to hold her cousin Nigel.
Boat ride on Crooked Lake. Love the smile Will.

Frances loved petting the goats.

Spring Break in North Carolina

We took a road trip to North Carolina to see Uncle Jay, Aunt Julie, and Cousin Derek. The 10 hour drive was a piece of cake for the Krebs' Family. Will and Frances had a ball in NC. The weather was good and they played outside most of the trip. We hadn't seen the outdoors for a while. Here are a few pics.

Dinner in downtown Asheville! We ate outside!

Every Friday evening in downtown Asheville, there are a group of people who play the drums. The music was great and as you can see, Will was having a great time. He started break dancing and here is one of his moves! We all were laughing pretty hard.

Just like a picture from the Cracker Barrel!

Happy Easter!

Here are a couple of Easter day pictures. Look how sweet and innocent they look!

Getting ready for church!

Since it has been a few weeks since I have posted anything, I thought I would share a few pictures from the last two weeks. We've been busy, but are really looking forward to warmer weather. This snow is making us crazy!!!!

Will and Kennedy at Will's Birthday Party!

We went to The Splash Park in Shipshewana for Molly Stock's birthday party. The kids had a great time on the slides and playing video games. Isn't this a great picture? Look how excited Caroline is.

Will and Frances with their mohawks!

Playing Dress-Up!

Frances and Cousin Maysa love dressing up. Here is a cute picture of the two of them. They only fight on who gets what shoes. The pink ones seem to be the favorite, even if they don't match the outfit.

Happy Birthday to Will

Will just turned 5. It seems like just yesterday he was born. Here are some pictures from the day. It was just us hanging out. His birthday party with his friends will be February 16th. Check out some of the cool gifts he got.

Ski Trip to Nubs Nob

We had a great trip skiing with the kids. We went with the Miller Family who live right down the road from us. The kids all got along great and they even brought their 12 year old niece with them. It was nice to have her babysit every once in a while. Will and Frances both went skiing. It was amazing to see Will hop off the lift and head right down the slopes. It made me a little nervous, but Lance was a good teacher. Frances went down two big hills and enjoyed the ski lifts. She called them the swings. Enjoy the pics.

This picture makes me laugh.

Just like an old pro!

Christmas in Florida

We have made a tradition to spend Christmas with Papa Tim and Shelley in January. He are a few pictures from the trip. Our little chef made us breakfast before the flight down.

FFrances loves her new kitchen!

Yeah! We are finally in Florida. Check out the stuffed alligator behind us!

Frances and Will spent most of their time in the hottub. The temp was 98. They loved it!

Frances dropped her new purse. It had lots of candy in it. Thanks Shelley!
