Just a Day in the Life!

We told the kids to go brush their teeth - we do this every night - they had to come out and have us open the fluoride pills and they looked too cute to go away without a picture.

We have started sending them in to brush one at a time, found that Jaxson cannot be in there with anyone else or toothpaste will end up on the floor and in the hair. So he goes to put on his pj's while someone else is brushing!

Ice Skating for Spring Break

I know this is way out of order and late, but I was slipping down on Danelle's blog friend list and wanted a way to get back up to the top!!!!

My friend and I took the kids Ice Skating over spring break and it was so much fun to see all the kids skaing so well together and having fun.

Jaxson wanted to practice so he would be prepared for his field trip later in April.

Sand Dune

We also hit Blanding for two nights during spring break.

Sophie ended up with more sand in her pants than she wanted! There was much rolling, jumping and burying of cousins. It was such a gorgeous day, not too hot and just a bit of wind.

Manette, Jody and Olivia did some serious relaxing at the sand dune. There is something so therapeutic about playing in the sand for hours. We did have several of the treats dropped in the sand, you just cannot get sand off rice crispy treats.

Spring Break Adventure

When the kids were out of school for spring break we headed down to Ridgway, Colorado to visit friends. Ate at the True Grit cafe, loved the sign. Apparently they had trouble with the new management so they went back to the old. Then we had to come home and rent True Grit to see the wall in the opening scene.

Our friends live up on Log Hill and we loved the view just a short hike from where they are living. It is always so relaxing to get away and see old friends and take in new scenery.

Happy April Fool's Day in Cache Valley

You have really got to be prepared for whatever may come when you live in Cache Valley - we were all set for spring, even had some warm days, then BAM - April 1st comes and 5 new inches of snow.

I had told Maggie that starting in April she could wear capris to school - she was mad at me! Which is totally unfair, I am not the one who changed the weather!!

Update on Kittens

So sad to report that two of the kittens have died. There has been much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth at our house, so no pictures for today. Called our friend who placed the cat with us and she let us know that infant mortality is very high in kittens, especially since the mother hadn't been vaccinated, the other batch of kittens that they placed all died. We have three healthy ones for now, so we will see if they live.

5 New Kittens Today!

Well Happy St. Patrick's Day to us! Woke up this morning at 5:30 to 5 new kittens in the garage. They are all doing well and several neighbor kids have already been over to see the excitement. Zip, the border collie, already has a big old bloody scratch on his nose and won't go near the box again.

No - Sophie is not smoking, she was eating the sucker she got at school today!!

They should be very well socialized kittens if anyone wants to adopt one!!
