Next year we will have an egg hunt on the first day of spring (A spring celebration) and the week before Easter we will celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. -Our traditions are changing and I'm excited for next year and the years to come. I feel like our traditions only get better. Thanks for everyones ideas that help form parts of ours. Keep your thoughts and ideas coming.

My favorite 5 year old in the whole world had a birthday.
Thank you Grandma Wray and Grandma Brooks for the great gifts.

Jenson is a very sweet, caring, sharing, boy. We are so glad Jenson is in our family.

Favorite thing to do-Play with his best bud Joe

Favorite Food-Turkey Sandwiches and Nachos

Favorite Colors-Blue and Green

We Love Conference Weekend at our house.
We loved the talks. One of our conference traditions is having packets that the kids fill out (to help pay attention and for fun). We decided this year that the Monday following conference we would talk about our favorite speakers from conference over banana splits. (Thanks for the idea Summer)

Sweet and Loveable Gavon

Always fall asleep with one eye open or else this is what happens

I have awesome helpers especially when I clean out the refrigerator.
Jordon and Gavon are always so willing.

April Fools!For lunch we had a peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ( I tried to double tape the bag shut but it didn't work), a bag for Cheetos chips filled with carrots and resealed with double sided tape (this did not make Brooklon very happy. We don't usually if ever have chips in our lunches and when she saw a chip bag she was so excited-not so excited once she saw that the chip bag was filled with carrot sticks. After school snack was real Cheetos), and an apple with a gummy worm sticking out. --(Landon added a few canned items as well to their lunches. April Fools!

For dinner we had cake. (meatloaf cake with mashed potato frosting topped with cherry tomatoes).
The middle filling is barbecue sauce. (Famous Dave's is our favorite)

Fried peas as a side (they are hard and crunchy)

We did this last year and everyone loved it so much that we decided to do it again this year. We filled cups with Jello and a straw. When you go to suck your "juice" (Jello) nothing comes out. The boys managed to get Jello to come out. They thought that was cool.

Today was crazy hair day at school.

CRAZY HAIR FOR CRAZY KIDS

Madison decided she wanted a M&M cake this year (Madison wanted it to be purple but I ran out of red food coloring. Blue was the next choice)

Madison also decided she wanted the cake to be filled with tapioca pudding, which it is thank you very much.Happy Birthday my sweet Madison. We hope all your wishes come true.

A New Look

The other day while Madison was having a violin lesson in Midvale, Brooklon and Maron got their hair cut. Brooklon and Maron have been wanting their hair cut for a couple of weeks now. They have been styling each others hair to see what they can do with it now that it is shorter. I think they will love their hair even more the warmer it starts to get. Madison is getting her hair done tomorrow so it will be cute for her trip to Disneyland. Maybe I'll have to get a new look myself. Stay tuned!

More Fun In The Sun!

We had a bat in our yard the other day. Can you see him?Bat Boy!
Hours of fun filling trucks with dirt and
emptying in my yard.
