Memorial Day

We decided to go to Cokeville, Wyoming for Memorial Day. My grandfather passed away this last November so it was nice to spend the day with my grandmother. Later that day we took the kids up Pine Creek. It was beautiful! They enjoyed skipping rocks and checking out the caterpillars and bugs. In the video I love how Mykenna tells me that she poked the caterpillar with the stick, but then when she finds out that she hurt it she changes her story. It was a great day!

Yummy M&M's

Rob and I were downstairs going through boxes and when we went to check on Cael this is what we found.

My mom had brought us some crispy M & M's earlier and we had left them on the table. Now that he is climbing nothing is safe. :)

Preschool Program

Mykenna had her preschool program today. She attends Miss Julie's Preschool. Her teacher is great and she has had a great year. I placed her in the older class because of carpooling reasons and she did really well. The program was really cute! Each class sang a couple of songs and then they recieved their certificates. She did a great job!

Narnia Day!

Cambrie's class spent the entire day in the world of Narnia to celebrate the opening of the new movie “Prince Caspian.” For the first part of the day, students focused on the first C.S. Lewis book “The Magician’s Nephew” with a scavenger hunt set in WWII London. The second half of the day, students focused on “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” After a short blitz, students were tagged and sent on a train to the countryside. Once in the countryside, students walked through the wardrobe into Narnia (music and science classes). Students then watched teachers freeze things with nitrogen and then learned to play the recorder. Following that the kids had Turkish delight, tea and crumpets and tree bark snacks. Along with meeting Aslan, they met the White Witch, the Beavers, Mr. Tumnus, Ginarrbrik, and Father Christmas. At the end of the day they had The great battle (flour dodgeball). They had parents come dress in black to battle against the kids. It was awesome! Rob took the day off to be in the battle and watch the kids while I helped in the morning. What a great Dad! :)













Cambrie's teacher and parents have been preparing for most of the year for "Narnia" day. I have been helping the last couple of months in the preparations and got talked into dressing up as Ms. Lafae (a crazy old woman) and help deliver their invitations(a secret box). Don't ask me why I agreed to this. The things you will do for your kids. It actually ended up being really fun to see their faces.









Isn't this amazing. A mother of one of the students spent over 100 hours on this. She also made a big wardrobe.

This post doesn't do the day justice. It was absolutely amazing! What a great day for the kids!

Parker's Birthday Party

Parker will be 7 on Wednesday, May 14th. We celebrated with the extended family on Saturday. He had a great time and loved all his gifts! He is into Star Wars now and got toys and movies and was in heaven. Can't believe he is going to be 7 years old. Time really does fly! We are blessed to have him in our lives!

Reading glasses or swimming goggles?

So last night while reading scriptures Mykenna found these goggles and put them on. What a crack up. She is so funny! Gotta love her!

Cael then found them the next day! What a cutie!

Dinosaur Park Fieldtrip

Mykenna had a preschool fieldtrip to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. It was so fun! They started out with a short lesson on dinosaurs and then got to color sunglasses and decorate them. She did a great job! We then went and played on the playground and saw the rest of the park.
