We went to the Festival of Colours yesturday in Spanish Fork. A cloud of chalk in the air. Some people wore face masks to keep the chalk out of their mouths and noses. We tried to stay out of the cloud as much as possible. I can't believe how many people turned out. It was crazy/fun. Landon, Hayden, and Trenton went crowd surfing. They thought that was kind of fun.March 27th 2010

Fun Fact For Ya-Holi the festival of colours has been a very distinct event in India since the times of Bhagat PRAHALAD, the son of Harankashyap, who being a autocrat King, forced his countrymen to worship him instead of God. The defiance of Prahalad led to many tortures given to him by the King, one of which was to be burnt alive. 'Holika' the sister of Harnakashyap volunteered to take Prahalad into a flame of fire as she was in possession of some magical powers by which she was immune to fire. But Prahalad, with the Grace of God was spared and Holika was destroyed by the same fire, she was not susceptible to. Since that day, this festival came into existence i.e. The Triuph of Truth over Evil.

Go BYU COUGARS!

So this summer Trenton found a big board and asked what he could make with it. We thought about it for a little while and decided to make (as a family project) a Y. We cut, painted, drilled holes, and added lights together. It was a fun project to do together. This new family project is now on our roof showing our BYU SPIRIT. (BYU Won yesturday-We are so excited!)

Teddy Bear Picnic.

Jenson went on a teddy bear picnic on friday. He decided to take his awesome turtle with him (dressed as Batman). He picked out a lunchable to take to eat for lunch. (I thought a sandwich cut into a teddy bear shape and teddy grahams, apple, etc...I thought the whole teddy bear theme would be cool )- What does mom know? His new little friend brought a lunchable too. -Jenson is sure enjoying Kindergarten-his teacher, learning, new friends etc... I'm happy that he is happy.

( It's not the best picture) We are excited for football. Landon has started up again. We are excited to watch all of his games. Go Landon!

First day of school. I think L is trying to show off his new height. M is now in High School. They grow up too fast.B is in 5th grade this year at a new school that we love.M-2 is in 3rd grade this year. I think they love not having to wear uniforms. I think I love it too.J-1 is my favorite 5 year old and is in Kindergarten. We're excited for him. Notice what he decided to do the day befor school?
J-1 decided to ride his skateboard over a crack in the sidewalk and fell off on his face.Notice the sweet belt buckle? Here let me zoom in.Oh ya! Be jealous. TRANSFORMERS!Already being a great student and turning his homework.

Soccer season has started. We decided to try the challenger league. 1. It's a longer season. 2. A little more experienced players. So far so good. B's favorite position is Goalie. We think she is an awesome goalie.
