Farewell to a friend

We are sad to report that our long-time pet of more than 10 years, Brownie, passed away today at 11.52am. He has been a great friend and pet and brought our family much joy. We will miss seeing him hop around our yard and sleep under the roses.

3 reasons to love spring.....5 year old T-Ball, rainbows and flowers!

We love watching Jack play T-Ball.


His favorite position is 1st base-cause it gets all the action!

He's a heavy hitter!

We had the most amazing rainbow(s) the other day-

It looked like it was covering our neighborhood.

And it shed beautiful light on our yard and flowers.

This is what it looks like when all the snow melts!

Hurray for warm weather!!!

Harry Potter in the house....

Jack was playing his favorite reading game on the computer today and when I checked on him, this is what he looked like....

Smarty-pants!

He is a funny kid!

Recent school highlights...

After a long application process including essays and letters of recommendation, Kaitlyn was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society! We are so proud of her!

Cameron was a railroad worker in his 4th grade program: "Utah, This is the Place!"

Here are a couple of short clips from his program-He did great!

They only have 2 weeks left until summer break!

A trip to the past..

We spent a day at the "This is the Place Monument and Heritage Park" in Salt Lake recently.

Hung out with Brigham Young....

played with lots of animals....

And Jack finally shaved. He was getting a little scruffy!

He's a brave boy- and very entertaining!

Tulip Festival

I planted 100 tulip bulbs in my yard last fall so I could have my own tulip festival and I'm happy to report they all came up. Here are a few of them- not quite Skagit Valley or Temple Square, but still pretty.
