Everyday Excitement

It's that time again, when I take pictures off my phone and document how crazy life really is right now! :)
Last week was Teacher Appreciation week, so as the head room mother for Kaley's class, I made a poster for her teacher's door.  The theme was "Our teachers are just WRITE."  I also went into her class one day last week and took over the class so her teacher could go to the teacher luncheon.  Never a dull moment with those 2nd graders!  :)
 This is a mid-project picture (I didn't take a finished one) of the blanket that I made for Kassy, my sister in law, that is due any day now.  It turned out pretty cute!  
 My pile of "denim to repair" was taking over my room, so I found a tutorial on how to take holey pants and turn them into shorts.  I was super pleased with the result.  I also managed to patch about 15 pairs of jeans with holes in the knees.  :)  That should last us through Spring!  
 Miss Lacie (our preschool teacher) bought chicken eggs and kept them warm and hatched them for the preschool!  My kids were thrilled!  Since we also have the privilege of living a door down from them, we got to see them often!  Here's a few pictures!







 This is a picture left over from Thomas' field trip.  Oh man, these boys were a hoot!  They're running from the dinosaur!
 Soph brought this home from preschool one day.  I just love the way she writes her name!  If you watch her write, she can do all the letters, but they are in her own order and kinda spread funny.  Love that girl!
 Picture of a picture - Thomas got his picture back from Father and Sons kickball from a couple weeks ago.  They went, but it was too cold and windy, so they ended up going to Big 5 and hanging out.  :)
 I made a wreath for Dani for her graduation.  Then I made a matching one for me.  :)  Oh, Bella helped.  Hence the beautiful butterfly.  I love it!
 We celebrated Arbor Day with Spanish Fork City and the 1st graders!  Thomas' class recited a poem.  It was pretty cute!
 My tiny companions played on the ipad and phone to keep quiet.  :)

 Smokey the Bear even came!
 We went to Kaley's class to see the kids act out a story they were reading for the week.  It was called Abiyoyo.  We still can't get that song out of our heads!

Danielle

This girl graduates today!!!  We are pretty excited to go celebrate this morning with her!  Congrats Dani!  We are heading up to BYU early today for her graduation ceremony.  Way to go!






Tulip Pictures

This year, I really wanted pictures in front on my tulips.  They really are beautiful every Spring.  Easter was too early for these flowers, so I had the kids wear their Easter clothes again this past Sunday and we had a little photo shoot after church.
