End of Preschool

I can't believe how fast the year has gone. Brittlynn celebrated the end of her school year with a field trip to the zoo. She loves her preschool class and being around all of her friends, but most of all she is fascinated with everything that there is to see at the zoo. She surprises me when she remember what we saw the last time. Most of all I love that I get to spend special time with her and we get to walk around the zoo holding hands.

 To celebrate the end of the school year her preschool put on a graduation. She was so excited to be able to sing songs to us but most important she is excited to be in Kindergarten next year where she gets to see her sister all of the time. I love this little girls of mine and I can't believe she is growing up so fast.

First grade Field day

 One of benefit of staying home with you children is you are allowed to join them in their various school activities. If it was up to Savannah she would have me at school with her everyday for everything she does. So when field day came around of course I was able to join in on the fun. The weather forecast didn't look to promising in the morning, but the day turned out to be perfect. I love the amazingly beautiful blue sky with large white clouds.
The best part of the day is to watch Savannah interact with other children in games and different activities. She doesn't mind playing rough with the boys, she wants to make sure everyone participates, but is also willing to take the lead if she needs to, she is kind, and also very competitive. I love this little girl. I love watching her with people.

Mother's Day

If it was up to me I wouldn't really celebrate any holidays. My girls think its great to celebrate anything that we can. That would include Mother's day. They made me breakfast, gave me lots of hugs and spoiled me with things that I wanted. My favorite part is reading what they wrote at school about me. I love them for making me feel like what I do is important, even though I wish we didn't have a day to focus on it all. We had a beautiful day here in Idaho full of sun and flower as all my friends in Colorado had snow...without flowers.

I love to see the Temple

It was a great weekend with some amazing friends. We went to Utah to see the Payson Temple open house. We met the Shumways at the temple. It was an amazing building inside and out. I am so glad I took my daughter to go see it. They are getting so excited for the chance they get to have to go inside as a family. We spent the rest of the day going to NuSkin, where Marion Shumway works. The girls loved exploring this amazing building and we were able to see Provo City Center temple from his work. After that we spent the evening going around looking at the other temples that are so close to our friends house. Its amazing to think about the wonderful work that goes on in the temple. To see so many so close together and to know that they are being used constantly is great and exciting. The next morning I enjoyed a beautiful run in Alpine with an amazing view and some wildlife along the path. We watched a soccer game in the rain and then enjoyed the rest of the afternoon with our friends in their home. They are truly some of the most friends to have.

Brittlynn...love her

With Savannah at school all day and Brittlynn only having classes two days a week we spend a lot of time together. With all that time we have together we do some really crazy and unique things...but it was makes me love her more and more each day. She draws me pictures....she brings me toys...she falls asleep almost everywhere...and she is always telling me that she loves me. I love this girl and I am so grateful I get to spend my day with her.

Zoo field trip

 Savannah was able to spend the day at the Boise zoo. The zoo is small enough that you are able to get everything done in a short amount of time. We love field trips and the best is when mom and sister can go along for the day. I really enjoy watching my daughter interact with her friends. She is loves to be able to help everyone and make sure everyone is having the best time. We love the zoo.

Adventures in April

It was a busy month for our family in April. I am grateful that I am able to capture those memories in a picture. Naps are always some of the favorite moments to share because they come out of no where. Brittlynn had an art show at her school and she was most excited to share her art with Alex. She also created an art project out of wood that she called a temple. Savannah kept us busy with soccer. Its always exciting when brother comes out to play. The girls are going to miss him when he leaves. We went out to eat and the girls spent the evening trying on every crazy hat they could find. The weather is getting warmer so we are able to enjoy more warm days outside. We even had a chance to walk home from school. Savannah's class had a field trip to the zoo and Brittlynn was so excited to spend the morning with her sister. They enjoyed a birthday party at their friends house and came home with a lolly loopsy doll. They are some very happy girls.
