"May"-be we are caught up!

It's crazy hair day at Caleb's school!

Let's do this!

Jayden thought she'd try to mail Caleb to a new family.
He wasn't cooperative going in the box.

Jayden was so excited to come visit some new horse moms, and a few still expecting.

This foal is less than a day old.
Jayden wanted to see if the mom and baby would let her come say hi.

Success!

This is the picture Caleb drew when he found out his best buddy was going to be moving.
(His friend is not actually moving across the ocean as this picture would imply.  He's not even leaving the city, but for a six year old, its pretty much the same thing.)

Driving down to Arizona to visit cousins for the last time before they move up to Utah!

Swimming is a favorite past time for these kiddos.

These cuties.

Cousins have way cooler toys than we do,

Co-op field trip to the Wildlife Museum.

We saw a lot of wild animals, but none as wild as these kiddos.

At another co-op we did classic recess/P.E. games.

They had a ton of fun with this parachute.

And the littles of course loved the bounce house.

Caleb and his buddies put on a play for us.

No stage fright at all.

Field Trip to a machine shop.

Our Co-op also got together and fixed up the lawn for one of our families.
First step, dig trenches and set up the sprinklers.

Sprinklers are set.
Time to start laying the sod.

These girls are tough.

Boy this grass is heavy.

Almost halfway done.

Trevor helped by holding one of the babies.

This boy needs a haircut.

But how do you cut such a cute head of hair?

This boy needed a trim too.

Look how much darker Carter's hair has gotten compared to Caleb's.

Big sister helping her little brother brush his teeth.

One day for school we were learning about how monks in the middle ages would make copies of religious texts by copying the entire book by hand.
I offered the kids to get the rest of the week off of our language arts assignments if they copy one chapter of this book.  Jayden decided she was up for the challenge.  A few pages in she realized how much work it really was.  But she did the whole chapter (9 pages) by the end of the day.  (It probably took her about five hours of work!)

Time to say goodbye to the ramp.

This ramp has seen a lot of cars, scooters, trikes and balls in it's day.

Caleb finally got a turn having Grammy time!
Yes, he was very spoiled.  Yes, he loved every minute of it.

Now Grammy understands what church is like for her daughter.

Dinosaur shirt!!

Jayden's sister, meet Jayden's brother.

Caterpillar ride!

The coolest activities come with a wristband.

It's nice being an only child for a few days.

Cookie hotdog pie!

When Caleb has Grammy time, it's a good opportunity for the rest of us to go skiing!

Looking slick in our snowgear.

Carter still rocking the snowboard.

Dad is a true blue skiier.

Jayden skis like its easier than walking.

Allergy season hit early this year.
This is the walk to school---Absolutely coated in mullberry pollen.
Time to head north to find some cleaner air.

We got to visit Uncle Spencer at his apartment to play games.
We stayed a little late and this little one couldn't make it.

We were finally in town at the right time of year to see the cherry blossoms at the state capitol!

It was a fun, spring-time walk!

Decorating marshmallows.

Time to eat Marshmellow.

This boy thinks he's pretty cool in a big kid booster.

Jayden had a fun helping Grammy babysit this little girl,
so she ended up staying for her Grammy time so she could help babysit more.

Twinners!

Don't worry, 
There was still plenty of time for horse rides.

And when the horses got tired,
there was the carousel.

Afternoon selfie!

Love watching Jayden and Daddy play together.

Balloon doggy!

Got a black eye at school.
You should see the other guy.

Sunrise hike with some friends. 

Happy birthday Craig!

Get those candles!

Jayden made the cake all by herself this year.
(Except shredding the carrots.  Mom did that)

We didn't dye eggs this year,
but we tried painting marshmellows.
Caleb is a fan.

Springtime means starting to work out in the yard.
Look at our cute farmer boy!

Our roses have been in bloom and we've been loving it.

Jayden loves putting together bouquets for neighbors and friends.
And Caleb even took some to his teacher.

Carter put "Silly Face Pancakes" on our dinner menu this week.

We had a lot of fun with it!

Love to see the tree shadows sway on the wall of our new office.

His idea of a servant is not the same as ours.
I think the only thing he did is make us this note.

Somebody decided to leave a surprise for Carter to find in the morning.

We accused Caleb of peeing in his room somewhere before we
figured out that it was just a really bad breaker!

We didn't get a good picture of her this day,
but Jayden performed in her last orchestra concert of the year.
She's getting quite good at the violin and wants to do it again next year.

These kids love cuddling up for a movie night.

Scraped his forehead, nose and knee.

Our co-op had a cookie baking competition.

And Jayden won for Most Creative!

Caleb has been waiting for months for fathers and sons.
He had fun, but face-planted pretty good at some point.
