Poem Day at School

The week before school got out Kylie's class had a Poem day at school.
Parents could come to school and see their kids recite one of the poems that they had memorized, plus see them act out a mini play. In the play Kylie was the narrator.



Her poem was titled "Love"



Waiting while the other kids were presenting.



Mini play!

Teacher Appreciation

For teacher appreciation Kylie wanted to make something for her teacher.
Using an idea that I got from Girls Camp last year.
We took a wood block painted it and Modge Podged some paper to it for a photo holder.
The next day at school, I snuck into Kylie's P.E. class and took a picture of the whole class so that the teacher wouldn't know we were doing something for her.



Kylie loves to paint and chance that she can get.
I have not let her get into in too much yet.
Maybe one day she will paint as good as she draws.



Here is the finished project.
On the little wooden pencils it says, "Mrs. Mills is Great, Awesome, #1, and things like that"
It turned out really cute and her teacher loved it!

My Little Golfer!

Zach's favorite thing to say is "In the Hole!"

Zachary's 2nd Birthday

Two years ago today, our little guy Zachary joined our family. It has been an amazing two years, and he has grown and learned so much. Where did the time go?
We started the celebration to Zachary waking up to a new bike (from mom and dad) and a Thomas the Train Tent from Grandpa and Grandma Parsons. Zach was having fun crawling around in it with his sister, and Grandpa said that he wanted to get into it to. I don't think that Zach and Kylie thought that he could really do it........So here is grandpa with the kids in the tent.

My new neice!

My new neice, Sydnee Grace was born on April 9th.
I went to the hospital to see her and had to settle for a picture of here through the nursery room window. After she was born the doctors were concerned about her breathing so they were monitoring her pretty closely.
I am proud to say that she soon got the breathing under control and she was able to go home as planned with her proud mommy, daddy, brother, and sister.

Fun at Grandpa and Grandma's

While we were in Green River for Easter we were not able to go for our annual four wheeler ride, because of all the wind. So Grandpa took the kids on little rides around the yard. Here are a couple of them.

One night after dinner we found the three kids, Kylie, Zachary, and Allie, laying on Grandpa and Grandma's bed watching cartoons.

Easter Saturday 2010

On Easter Saturday we usually get
together with my mom and dad and
take a four wheeler ride into a small
section of sand dunes just outside of
Green River. This year we decided
that we wanted to do something a
little different, so we loaded up the car
with a picnic lunch and headed out.
We ended up driving towards Moab, UT,
crazy I know since this is the time of
year when all of the jeeps are out
at the jeep safari. Anyway the traffic wasn't
too bad and we ended up driving through
Arches National Park. We got out and hiked
a little so that we could get closer to some of the
arches. Here are a few pictures that we took
while we were there.

Easter Egg Hunt 2010

This year for Easter we are in Green River. Last year we started having an Easter Egg hunt with
the grandkids that were here, and we just had to do one again this year. My kids love being able
to go and look for eggs in Grandpa and Grandma's back yard.
Zack on the look out for some eggs. He was funny to watch because he would step right over the top of some if he saw one that was a little ways away.

Easter 2010 Decorating Eggs

Kylie loves to decorate Easter Eggs.


Zach even tried coloring on a few this year.

Green Carrots and Jello Giveaway

Green Carrots and Jello is having a great giveaway for Friday only. Even if you miss the great give away, they have great products that you can use all year long. Go and check them out. I love their their clip art.

Kylie's Baptism

Here is a couple of pictures that we took of Kylie before she got baptised today. She was surprised to see that when we got to the church, they had a dress for her to wear instead of a
jumpsuit. We were glad to see that Grandpa Jay was able tomake it to the baptism as he has not been doing very well.

Not Fun Friday

After having a fun day at school for Dads and
Doughnuts, Kylie and I came home to find water
all over the counter top and floor just as you come
in the door from the garage.
This picture her is just above the kitchen cabinets
where most of the water was coming out. It ran down
the walls, landed on the counter and fell to the floor,
leaving such a fun mess to clean up.

This is a place that was a little higher up on the
ceiling that was also dripping a little bit, but no
where near as much.

Here you can see the path that the water was
making as it fell behind the cabinets.

Now we will probably have to cut a hole
into the ceiling so that we can see if
we can find the leak.
Not the greatest start to what was supposed
to be a great weekend, as we
celebrate Kylie's baptism.
