The end of school was a very busy time, I am finally sharing a few pics!

Calvin and his 2nd grade class wrote and performed an opera.  Going to the “Princess Ball” at the library.  Eigen swinging.

Preschool trip to the farm.  Gorgeous day.  Bridget finally was brave enough at the end to feed the llamas.

Kimball and hundreds of 5th graders performed a musical celebration “Hope of America” at the Marriot center.

Bridget preschool graduation

Kimball at the state report fair!  He finished his project, it was a long process and he did a good job.

Driel invited us to Thanksgiving point gardens.  Bridget needed to wear her pretty pink princess dress and thrilled at all the gorgeous flowers.  It was one of the few beautiful spring days, very nice to enjoy the flowers and sunshine.  We had a picnic too.  (disclaimer, we did not pick the flowers, but little hands wanted to)

The garden took a transformation this year, Ammon built garden boxes.

May 20 Bridget and I invited some friends over for a princess party while the boys went to Fathers and Sons.  It was lots of fun to play princess with lots of little girls.  The morning after:

Eigen 4 months old

Friday May 27 School dance festival and field day.

Ammon put together new bunk beds and we started the rearranging of bedrooms.  Eigen in the crib sharing a room with Bridget (she loves it), Sterling and Logan in the new bunk beds, and Kimball and Calvin in bunks in the downstairs.  Eigen so happy…this was the beginning of not sleeping so well at night…here’s hoping he starts sleeping through the night really soon!

Yeah!  That’s May in a nutshell!

Mid April was Spring Break.  The boys had a full week off of school.  We went on an overnight trip to a far away place….Salt Lake City!!!  It was an adventure.  I loved the short drive and the exclaiming of joy when we were there after a mere 30 minutes in the car.

First stop, Gateway Discovery Museum.  Very busy that day, but we had good connections (Love ya Breezy) and got in without waiting in the long long line.  The kids loved all the hands on.

The kids absolute favorite was staying in a hotel; we had the swimming pool and hot tub to ourselves!  Not to mention the continental breakfast in the morning.  Sterling only fell out of bed once

We went to Temple Square on a quiet Friday morning.  We visited with sister missionaries, enjoyed the fountains and flowers, walked around the temple (trying to stay out of wedding photos), and then ate lunch at the Nauvoo Cafe.

It was a fun vacation.  We tried new things, saw new places and spent time together as a family!

March 8 Logan’s first grade play “King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub”

March 11 Craft day with sisters.  We made bread dough…yummy lunch!

March 12 Eigen 7 weeks and learning to eat his hands.

March 14 The boys had the day off of school.  We went to the Carl Bloch exhibit at BYU and the Bean Museum.  The kids loved the museum.  Grandma and Grandpa Rowbury, Rachel Rice and boys, and Annette’s boys joined in the adventure.

March 25 Kimball’s 5th grade music program.  Bridget, Eigen, and I watched the daytime performance.  Sterling chose to stay home with Ammon working…he really missed his mommy, he was so sad.

Eigen Loves the swing.  He also has a big happy smile that melts my heart.

March 27 Happy Anniversary!  We had a busy Sunday   So romantic.  We had an evening out on Saturday!

March 31 Preschool field trip to the fire station.  Fun times.

March 3, 2011

Bridget is loving having a new baby in the house.  She is so willing to help with Eigen.  She is a sweet little mother figure, always wanting to hold her brother.

She loves to rock-a-bye with Eigen, she tried playing “crazy 8’s” with him, and dressing him up.  She thinks it is funny and “tickles” when he tries to eat her arm.  One day she said in a soft and sincere voice, “I wanted a baby sister, but it’s ok, I love Eigen.”  Too precious.

Funny Bridget saying:

She loves kiwi’s, but she usually can’t remember what they are called, so she calls them “kili” or “bikini”    “mom, can you peal this bikini?”  Hahahaha

Love my helpers, they are great kids.

Whoa…I imported all my pics from the camera last night and I have over two months of new pics…so here comes picture mania.  I hope to post lots over the next few days.

Calvin’s 8th birthday Oct 3.  He got two parties, first one on Friday with a few friends.  They were detectives and had to solve the mystery.  Then on Sunday with the family, lots of yummy cupcakes!

It’s great to be eight!  Calvin’s baptism Nov. 6

Thank you all who were able to come for Calvin’s special day.  We love family.
