Easter Dresses

I thought these dresses were so cute, and their dad agreed with me!
  (He doesn't like the color yellow, so I was surprised that he agreed with me)





I would post pictures of the boys in their new bow ties, but they didn't let me take their pictures!

Busy Busy Busy

It has been crazy busy at this house for the last few weeks and more than likely will be for a few more weeks yet!

Jake is running track this year, so I spend a lot of my afternoon in the van running between the High School, Middle School, and home every day!  His first track meet is this Thursday and he is really looking forward to it!  He is also in a bunch of Honors Class at the High School and spends lots of time studying for those classes.  I think that he has found out that High School is a lot of work and has had to learn to manage his time better!

Joshua participated in National History Day a couple of weeks ago.  He made a website about the space race.  He is also doing the lighting and sound for the Middle School play this year, so he spends all of his time after school working on that.   He and a friend of his are also working on a project for a young inventors thing that the museum of Idaho does each year.  (this is a project that is required by his Honor's History Teacher).
He has also decided to run track, but won't be able to start that until after the play is over.

Jacey is  busy being 9 and in third grade, she really loves school.  She is a girl after my own heart and spends lots of time reading!

  Jena is a super busy 4 year old, she likes to keep me busy by making lots and lots of messes for me to clean up! I just registered her for Kindergarten today.  Where has the time gone?  It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming her into our family!

Joe is still really busy with working full time and going to school full time, we have decided that school is hard work, but it will be worth it in the end!

We thought he came back!



We thought that our bird came back to visit again today, only in the back yard this time,   Jena was so excited to see him out the window, turns out this is just a pigeon!

A Visitor



He is a Cooper"s Hawk
This Guy was out taking a swim in the pond we call a drive way today!  Jena now thinks that he is our bird!
It pays to live out around a lot of farm areas!  We get to see the coolest stuff!

Jena wanted to help me vacuum today, poor girl couldn't push the vacuum very well!

I'm sure going to miss this girl when she goes to Kindergarten this fall!

Happy Birthday to my best friend!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, and best friend.  We love you!

Cute Girls



Love These Two!

Busy Week

Last Week found Joshua very busy!  He was invited to attend a Middle School Honor Band at BYU-I last Thursday, he spent the whole day there learning three band pieces, and then they had a concert for the parents that evening.  It was AMAZING.  I was so impressed at how well they all did with only having the day to learn the music.  I am still kicking myself for not taking my camera.

Saturday found him at the ISU Campus in Pocatello participating in a Math Counts competition, we haven't heard how well he placed yet, maybe today!  He really enjoyed himself with all of his activities last week.  We are really proud of him and all the hard work he had put in to both band and being a Mathleate!


I don't think I have mentioned this before, but Jake and his friend Austin decided that they wanted to help out in the community, and wrote a letter to the Mayor of Iona wanting to know how they could help out in our community, because of this letter the Mayor has put together a Mayor's Youth Council, that Jake is a member of.

They organized a New Year Dance, and have some other activities planned for the year.  We are really proud of Jake and his wanting to be able to serve in our community!
