March is Marsh month

Ah, spring has sprung!  And then it got cold...Kansas weather at its most predictable!  We didn't get much more snow this winter than what is pictured above.  Not enough sledding!

Oh, and there was some basketball being played.  KU had a historic season, and Daddy took some credit for that, opening the DeBruce Center almost a year ago this month.

Conner was invited by a neighbor to go trout fishing.  Hip waders and everything!  Here he is with his first trout.  It was a super cold day, but that didn't dampen his spirits.

The three CNMs borrowed some kayaks and went on a bit of an adventure to a neighbor's lake house just north of town.  We did secure the boats a little better than what is pictured--promise!

It was a blast.  One day, the winds were so high that we felt like we were braving rapids.  Which was pretty intense since the water was so cold that we would NOT have wanted to tip over!

Of course there was fishing.  Both boys were successful even with the cold water temps.  It was a really fun few days of lake activities during spring break.  Fun overnights too!

As things begin to wake up and bloom in our yard, Conner is proving a talented snake hunter.  The snakes in our yard are harmless, but...they're snakes!!  And several are larger than the one pictured, so a big thank you to Conner from both his parents.

There was definitely some focus on b-ball this month, even though the Jayhawks missed the Final Four.  What a great season, and the family showed great patience with Daddy's increasing focus on the team, and the story of KU b-ball in general.  Happy Spring everyone!!
