Let's Go Fly A Kite

The wind was perfect Saturday to fly a kite.

First we started with Ward's

kite we got before children

when we went to the coast

for a vacation. Lets just say it didn't work very well.

It would go up...but came
back down again.

And even found the a tree. (yes if you look close that is Ward in the tree)

We finally went to the

neighborhood store and bought little $1 kites for the girls.

They worked great!! We had a wonderful family

Saturday doing nothing and loving it!!

Jolene loved flying her Dora kite until her hands got too cold and she passed it off.

If you look

high in the

sky you will see the Dora kite.

Friday Night

Friday evening we had a great time.

We ordered pizza, watched a great movie,

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.

The girls and I love this part when Mr.

Magorium dances on bubble wrap. We

so want to do that!!

Raychel made a dessert they

had at school for a class party.

I know it looks..interesting. It's just

chocolate pudding, oreos and gummy

worms to look like dirt. They had

so much fun making their own. It was

a hit with the girls and Ward.

Then the lights went out for a few hours and the sister sleep over became a family sleep over in our room!!

Blowing Bubbles

A great way to pass the time!!

The girls love to blow bubbles

and see who can get the most.

It never fails, one bubble blower

always works better then the other.

This time it's Jolene's that worked the best!!

Field Trip

Today for Pre-school Jolene's class went

to the
Lamb Ranch. It is always fun to see the

baby lambs!! These little lambs were only 2

days old.

Jolene didn't want to understand

why we

couldn't bring one home!! Where

do I start!!??

The kids got to hold the baby lambs

get a "ride"
on the tractor, and have snack on

the hay bails.

Easter

What a great day!! Another great Easter tradition

is of course the new Easter dresses. This year they

wanted yellow!! Well, we found them!! After church

we had our Easter egg hunt and finished preparing

the meal. It was a really nice day. The church meetings

were beautiful, very spiritual. It was a great day

to remember our Savior and his sacrifice for us,

to know that because of the resurrection we

may live as an eternal family.

Preparing for Easter

I really enjoy Easter!!

We had a great day Saturday

coloring the Easter Eggs and seeing what great

colors we could come up with. We made our traditional

Easter bunny cake, and prepared some of the

great salads to go with Easter dinner. When Raychel was little she came across a picture of me with my siblings holding the Easter bunny cake we had made and every since we have made it our families tradition as well. Everyone gets involved with what kind of frosting, what the face will look like to turning coconut into "grass". It's a lot of fun!!

A great way to end Spring Break

The last day of Spring Break Ward

took the day off!! We went to

Kidz Plex, out to lunch and to the movie

"Horton Hears A Who".

What a

great movie.

There is nothing better

then hearing

the girls laugh and being

out of town as a family!!

Beginning of Spring Break!!

What a great week off!! Or as Raychel says,
"10 days off!!" We hung out with friends,

had picnics, did crafts, went to the parks and Ward

even took a day off to spend time with the us during

Spring Break!

Family Day

Since Ward's work schedule has kept him so

busy and gone late in the evenings we spent

the day together as a family!! It was great

and much needed. We hung out, went to

lunch in Glenwood Springs then drove

around and ended up at the fish hatchery.

What an adventure!! Jolene asked,

"Where's the fishing poles, dad!!"

A visit to the dentist

Both girls did great at the dentist. They each

got their teeth cleaned and had

X-Rays done and still have no cavities!!

We found out Jolene has her 6 year molars coming

in and the two front bottom teeth are loose!! I guess that means the tooth fairy will be visiting us some time in the future!!

At the end of their visit they each got a little bag with dental floss, a tooth brush, stickers, lip gloss, and a pencil.

Pheasant Hunting

Ward and Jolene went clay pigeon

shooting Saturday morning to get

ready to go pheasant hunting.

Jolene was the "pull" girl and loved it!!

Ward, Cami and several friends

had great fun and success pheasant hunting.

The girls and I had a great time watching
the hunt, (when we could see them)

taking walks, and checking out all

the pheasants!!

Cami flushed out many pheasants

and retrieved the ones Ward shot.

We had some very tired hunters on

the drive home.
