Spring!

These are pictures from March, April and May.

Emma had used the little red bike last year.  This year I realized Mitchell would need the red bike so Emma got a new one.  She learned to ride it without training wheels in May (I think!).  We joke that Mitchell will be riding a two wheeler before he's potty trained.

Mitchell had a thing for the dishwasher soap for a while.  He'd carry the packets around & even need to have some in his bed.  I'm still finding them in random places.

Mitchell has always loved the toilet, obviously.  But now that we have started potty training he only likes his little one.  Grrr. 

Mason had a first grade field trip to the zoo.  Here he is with some classmates & his teacher.

During spring break we went with cousins to the This is the Place Heritage Park.  We had fun seeing some pioneer houses, ploughing a field, & holding the baby animals.

Mitchell thought the train driver looked like Santa.  Too bad I did not get a picture of him.

These two are scary drivers!  I also need a bigger backyard for this thing.

They found a worm.  It was pretty exciting.

Mason has outgrown the jeep.  Too bad, he was a good driver!

Mitchell loves to "help"

Mother's Day

Sarah had a Mountain Man Rendezvous at school.  I helped out with the leather works.

My nephews dug a huge hole in their backyard.  It was the main attraction at a family party.

Ballerina and a wanna-be.

Ready for a day of fun!

Nearly every day after lunch these two wanted to be pushed on the swings.

The girls got some Oobees (fuzzy slippers) before the store closing.  They were sad to see the store go.

Mason was in a karate tournament.  He got first in his little group for weapons.  He did a form using nun-chucks.
