Jonah built this Lego set all by himself - he is extremely tenacious and determined.

Boys learning about pool chemicals with Papa after a fun cousin swim!

Blake, Will and Justice loving the spring sunshine and the basketball hoop I put up for them on the tramp!

Tic tac toe with spaghetti noodles! So clever!

Will got to go visit Grandma Roselyn and Grandpa Franklin with Auntie Kate and cousins. They had a fun time watching Tom and Jerry with Grandma and swinging on grandpa's rope swing by the creek.

Liza's idea for a very cool photo--

Fun in the spring sun:)

Liza and I went for a Sunday drive by the "B" and loved it!

Minecraft!

We got to hold an 8-week old puppy while we were playing at the gym!

She had got a beautiful backflip!

While Liza tumbled, so did we!

Love this shot of Dane and Will at their group lesson-

Grandma Roselyn's leg has been really hurting he lately. The kids made her these cute cards to cheer her up and got to watch one of Uncle Tom's movies with her for a few minutes. She gives them a treat every time we visit and is an icon of selflessness, even in a time of great pain for her.

Uncle John and Aunt LeeAnn have taken care of our family teeth for 30 years! It is amazing to love going to the dentist as much as we do!

The boys and I made it to the annual early morning reading time with Moms before school - lucky me to get to be the reader (and the MAmA) to these three;)

Laugh attack!

Will at his lesson this week....he, Jonah and Dane were all excited to talk with their teachers about their SuPERioR performance ratings from the judges at federation!

Liza was sick for a few days so we had a little pamper time while she was down and out.

Beds for the boys were finally delivered! They LOVE them and are make them so well every morning before they go to school.

Pretty ladies!!

Thanks, Judy, for a fun (green!) St. Patrick's Day party!

Silly Selfies

A picture is worth a thousand words:)

Handsome boys after Annie's farewell (Liza was in her house still)...

Annie is off to Georgia to be a missionary! We will miss her, but know the people she is going to teach will love her too.

Jonah drinking his "Zemolade" (Zeal mixed with Crystal Light lemonade)! He and Liza have been mixing up this vitamin-rich treaT for all if us!

Dane got a little practice after his ski day too....

While Kevin took Dane and Will skiing, Jonah got to shoot guns with papa and Liza got to work on her chair acrobatics routine with Abba:)
Hilarious!

All three boys received "superior" ratings at their first federation performances today!

The kids made and delivered candy bar cards to their friends who acted so in the Annie play! Abby was especially happy to get hers:)

Took the kids to see Jake and Abby in the school play of Annie-it was fantastic! Good thing Jonah remembered that we had tickets 20 minutes before showtime; I had forgotten!

Two of the sweetest friends ever. Just before I took
this picture, Blake was holding Will's face in his hands
and giving him kisses!

The boys tested into their brown- stripe belts!
We love Master Moses for not only teaching karate,
but for his loving emphasis on respect, gratitude and
kindness. He fosters a fantastic environment of
teamwork and dedication and the boys love him for
it as much as we parents do.
