Preschool Graduation

Elliot and Audrey are finished with preschool! They loved being in Mrs. Goodrich's class so much. Next stop - Kindergarten!

Their teacher had them do a self-portrait on the first day of school and again on the last. It's amazing to see how much they improved.

Jack's Last Week of School

Jack's last week of school was very busy. One night, the whole school had a history fair and invited the families to come watch a performance. Jakc's class studied the history of television so they sang some old TV show theme songs and then displayed some art projects for us to see.

There was also a spelling bee that week and Jack was the winner for second grade! 

On Career Day, Ty visited Jack's class to teach them about what it's like to work for the FBI.

Water day was also a ton of fun. 

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, we were lucky enough to have Granna and Papa with us. Cody and JoEllen got to join us in the evening and all the boys made a delicious dinner.

These boys all had to show off their new mountain bikes. I don't know if there's anything they love doing more than being together out on a trail.

Jack's First Backpacking Trip

Over Spring break, Ty took Jack on his first overnight backpacking trip. They drove to Pine Mountain and hiked an 11-mile loop over two days. They returned home dirty and tired but with the biggest smiles on their faces. Even Toby enjoyed the trip.

I'm not sure if Jack was more excited about the hiking or the freeze-dried dinner.

Jack at the summit!

Easter Activities

Easter egg hunts, coloring eggs, enjoying the beautiful weather, and watching conference - these are some of the things we did on Easter weekend.

Audrey was the only one brave enough to sit on the Easter bunny's lap.

Easter Best

Since Conference was on Easter Sunday this year, we wore our Easter outfits the Sunday before. I don't know how much longer the kids will let me match and coordinate them, so I need to enjoy this while it lasts! 

Night Fishing

One thing that our kids love to do is fishing. They all have their own poles and they think they're so big when they get to fish by themselves. We found an awesome fishing hole filled with huge carp and each kid got a turn reeling one in.
