Busy Week

It was a busy week.  Last Sunday I was sustained in a new calling, Young Woman Miamaid advisor…and I have not been released as a cubscout den leader…so I get to go to mutual on Tuesdays and cubscouts on Wednesdays.

There was quite the line up of events this week.  Pictures say it best!

Calvin’s kindergarton class program.

Sterling playing in water Monday eve.

The last week of Preschool Pals.  Logan already to “graduate.”  He is excited to start Kindergarton in the fall.

The preschool kids. See it on driel’s blog

Logan and Bridget watching the school Dance Festival.

Calvin’s class danced to “The Ball and The Jack.”

Kimball’s class danced to “It’s Hip To Be Square.”

Sterling (10 months old) enjoying a little shade.

After the dancing we stayed and had a picnic lunch with the elementary school kids.  Kimball and Calvin are quite excited to have only 4 days of school left!

First Boat Trip 2009

We made our first lake trip!  Monday, for family home evening, we had an outing to the lake.  The boat did great, the suburban worked fabulous, and the family had lots of fun.  We attempted fishing for the first time (with no success), we took bread to feed the ducks (and never got any ducks close enough to eat the bread we threw), and we enjoyed good times riding around.  Sterling was not fond of the life jacket, but LOVED the anchor down and playing on the boat.  It was a fantabulous time!

Calvin lost his tooth earlier in the day.

Kimball was willing to smile for the camera!

Bridget calling the ducks…Sterling pinching the cover snap.

Logan and Bridget climbing.

The water was too cold to swim…I was sure someone would slip in…but with all the climbing around nobody fell in!  The kids did manage to get their hands or feet wet off the back of the boat.

Kimball fishing.  The kids each got a turn to fish.

Ammon took Kimball, Calvin, Logan and Bridget fishing again on Saturday.  They tried fishing at the dock, again no success (that is ok by me) but lots of fun and an early start to Saturday morning.  They were gone one hour and came home for breakfast and a Primary activity.  It was a busy day.

Sterling is starting to pull himself up to a standing position!  His favorite place to stand is the dishwasher…he wants to help unload it…even when they are dirty :)

I am George Washington

Kimball did a book report on George Washington.  As part of the project, he got to step through the “time machine” and tell about himself.  He did a great job memorizing his part and telling the audience about George Washington.

Happy to be done!

Logan had a fun birthday with his preschool friends and later with the family.  We had a “time” theme, hence the clock cake, which was super cool to Logan because it had the “tick tock part” like on grandfather clocks.  Present time, cake time, and the game fox at midnight were probably the favorite “times.”

Happy Birthday Logan!

Bridget admiring the pretty tulips.

We have been working on the yard…mostly Ammon, but the kids help too.  Logan finds great satisfaction in helping his Dad!  Ammon has been pulling out dead and overgrown lilacs.  We made space for a new peach tree.

Sterling getting in on the tree planting action.

Ta Da!
