Saturday

 We walked out to the Sanctuary site during church...

 Ella picking "flowers"

 I look fat...and tired.

 Clara getting some grandpa time.

Storytime and a Hug

 Aidan is a really good reader now and he'll read stories to the other kids, but on this particular night they were listening to a cassette tape (What are those???) and following along with a book. Britton looks slightly bored, he prefers to "read" his own book most of the time.

 Speaking of Britton, he wanted to give Clara a hug, then he wanted to hold her so he yanked her away from Cary.

Clara was not a fan.

Tulips

Wish I could say these were taken in my yard. ☺

Scooter

 I hate it when I don't check my camera settings and overexpose the picture. Shawn and Britton riding the scooter.

 Our grass is starting to fill in and it's looking great. Actually, I'm happy with how all of the yard is turning out, much better than where we were at a year ago. I don't think Cary is convinced yet though. ☺ My uncle Wayne was here in February and trimmed all our fruit trees (We have two pear, two peach, and one apple.) and so I'm excited to see how good they look this summer.

 Shawn was around over the weekend and the kids were thrilled. All the guys (Greg, Shawn, Cary, Aidan, and Britton) went to the salt flats for more flying planes. Ella had spent the night at Janille's so she was still at Baker.

Now the weather just needs to cooperate.

Young Author's Fair

Today was the Young Author's Fair for grades K-6.

The kids all write a book and then they are set out for the other students and everyone to see and sign (give comments).

 Gretchen Baker, a local author, was the guest speaker.

 Then the kids are given certificates.

Dennis...Dennis the Menace.

A rare moment that he stood still and let me take a picture.

Spring Storm

 A branch that broke off one of our trees.

 The power was out for a couple hours that morning too, so the kids started making a snow sculpture.
