"Lets go Fly a Kite".....

Spring is here and the wind is perfect for our kites. My brother has a big dirt lot on the side of his house perfect for kite flying....(except when the kids get too close to the few trees that are there) Dad got the kite out of the tree and they were high sailing from then on. The kids love to see the kites in the sky.

Alyssa's School Report on Rome/Greece

 

Alyssa did a great job on her second big report of her School Career. She did her research on Roman Aqueducts/ water systems. (yes Aqueducts is spelled with an e not an a, I have been spelling it wrong for a very long time) She built an aqueduct out of play-doh and with a little help from her Aunt, Mom and Grandpa (thanks for the pictures Grandpa) Alyssa did a great job presenting it to her class and got an A. Great job Alyssa! You are so smart!

Easter Egg Hunt

 

Colston's 1st Birthday

We celebrated Colston turning the Big "1" last weekend. He sure is a fun baby. We had the "Very Hungry Catapillar" Theme for his birthday. I made a catapillar cake, Grandma read the famous story, we all ate through a lot of fruit and food just like the hungry catapillar did. He wasn't insterested in the presents for too long, but the his siblings and cousins helped him out in that department. Colston did however, enjoy his cake! We love you Collie.

Trip to the Tucson Zoo

Awesome Animals+ Warm Sunny Day+ Great Kids+Lemonade Icee= A perfect Day at the Zoo

Water Fun....

We went over to a friends house for the afternoon to play. The kids played on the slip n slide and sprinklers and had fun cooling off. Ava was a good big sister that put Collie into the sprinklers so he could get wet too. He was a good sport about it.

Silly Mountain Hike

As we were in Gilbert last weekend we all went for a hike together. It was about 2 miles of trail hiking around a mountain that led to the top. My camara died halfway up so I didn't get pictures at the top, but you could see pretty far away. It was a good hike for all ages.

Gilbert Temple

We went to Gilbert AZ to visit Brad's sister and her family for a day and we got to drive by and see how the construction of the Gilbert Temple was doing. Its coming along. The kids thought it was cool to see the building process of it all.

HIghlights of February

If you can't guess from the background of some of these pictures, we are in Arizona right now for a few months. The kids are having a great time with their cousins; playing in the sand (lots of it), jumping on the trampoline, playing with baby Declan, and lots of other fun stuff. The weather is still nice so that is good. Alyssa and Corbin are liking their new school and teachers and making new friends well. School starts a bit earlier here, but they get out earlier and they love the longer play time in the afternoon.

Colston's Daily Activites

Colston is a very good helper around the house. He helps put pots and pans away, cleans out cupboards, and he is always the first one running to come help me witht he laundry. (Now wether it is because he likes to dive into the basket and through all the clothes everywhere or actually wants to help me is still to be clear) He is such a fun little boy to have around. Getting busier by the day though.

Alyssa Turns "9"

Finally.....SNOW!!!

We woke up to lots of snow last Saturday. We hurried and ate breakfast and got our snow clothes on and went out and had a lot of fun. The girls made snowmen and Corbin and the neighbor kids shoveled the street randomly. We had a great day making snow angels and snow balls. Now we just are waiting for another storm to come our way and give us some more snow.
