Spring is Here!

We are so happy to have warmer weather and sunshine. . .FINALLY! We have spent many days riding bikes, going for walks and being outside.
 
 
 
 
Scott also has been traveling a lot too.  On this particular morning Madelyn was up early enough to see Scott off.  She was wondering why he had to leave and when he was coming back.
She has become quite the daddy's girl lately always wanting to be near him. This is her face when I told her one day that dad wasn't coming home that night and she wouldn't see him for a couple days. She pouted for a couple hours after that.
Pure sadness! But complete joy when he is home again!
 

Our church playgroup had a little Easter egg hunt, Madelyn was too fast to get pictures of as she ran off to be with her friends, so I focused on Ian.


 
He thought all the eggs were "special!"
 
Madelyn and Ian love to ride their bikes in our back yard, they do this for hours everyday...
 
On April 22nd I went downtown with my girlfriends to celebrate a friend's birthday.  We have heard all about this restaurant downtown called the Bongo Room, so we loaded up our kids and made a adventure out of it.


Happy Birthday Jacquie! The menu did NOT disappoint!  It's a good thing that my friends didn't mind that I was eating off their plate because I just couldn't help myself!


Also in April we registered Madelyn for Kindergarten! She was so excited to go see what a real Kindergarten class looked like.  We met with the principal for a couple minutes then a Kindergarten teacher came and got all the kids and took them back to a class where they each had a current Kindergarten be their buddy and show them around their class.  Then they made a sunflower craft and were each given a sunflower seed and a little poem about how if they plant this and wait for it to get really tall, then it will be about the time to start school!  When they were done we got to take a ride on a school bus since all the kids are bused in.


The kids loved that!  They have been watching Rylan take the bus for 2 years but have never gotten to ride on one!

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

Image
(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
