Is it summer yet?

Are you getting spring fever? We are getting excited for summer around here. Only one more month of school, and the weather is beautiful! We had a fun weekend working in the yard and playing outside.

The girls couldn't get enough of outside. We moved the bench up at the top of the yard to lay out some flower bed ideas.  They love going up there to read their magazines and talk. Like the spray paint? Hopefully things will be cut out soon...and there will be something pretty to show there!

Rodeo Day at Kindergarten

Last Thursday Amity had Rodeo day at Kindergarten. One of her classmate's parents brought their horse for the kids to see and sit on.  They were all so excited to sit on the horse and pretend to be real cowboys. I have been the substitute for their class the past couple of weeks, and  I love being around all those cute Kindergarteners, and seeing all their excitement! It was a fun day at school!

Easter

We had a good Easter around here. We had a calm Sunday and just enjoyed spending time at home with our family.  The kids had fun coloring eggs and going on an easter egg hunt on Saturday.  The weather was so beautiful on Sunday. We went outside all afternoon, and grilled for dinner. I have been loving the unusually beautiful spring weather we have been having around here...I think the kids have been too!

There's a Teenager at my house!

I can't believe I am old enough to have a teenager. My cute little boy grew up and is now 13! AHHH! Landon had a happy birthday. He spent the day at school, had Panda Express for dinner, and went to Outer Limits with a friend.  Landon is a smart, and responsible young man.  He always has his homework done, gets great grades, and is willing to help me with anything I ask around the house. I love being Landon's mom!

Spring Break around here

It has been a few weeks since our spring break and I am just getting around to posting about it.  For spring break this year we went down to Salt Lake for a few days. We went and saw my sister's new baby, visited the new City Creek, went to the Natural History Museum at the University of Utah, played at Boon Docks, and visited Park City.  The weather was cold, but not snowy as it usually is on Spring break.  The kids had a lot of fun, saying that their favorite part was of course Boon Docks.  Just ask Danica and she'll say her favorite part of the whole trip was mini golfing.  Here are a few pics of our fun week in Salt Lake.

A litle Science

Landon had a fun weekend this past weekend. He was able to participate in the Science Olympiad with his GATE class at his school.  He was excited to win two medals. One in keep the heat and the other in rocks and minerals. Way to go Landon!

New Blog

I have decided to start a new blog that is specific for our house re-model. I love looking back on this family blog using it as sort of a journal.  I love looking at old pictures of the kids and family, remembering times and events in our lives. I have my other house blog for my old home that I also love to look back on. It is fun to look at all the pictures of our other homes since we have moved, and it is a fun memory that I get to keep. I decided to do a blog specific for this home because I love having our projects recorded.  Remodeling homes is something that Jeff and I love to do together and I love to journal the process.
