Park's 4th grade program

 Park got to be a Native American drummer in his UTAH program. He did a great job, it was fun to see him keeping good time...especially since that is not Mom's forte. He must have gotten it from his dad's side of the family. :)

Vox Humana

 This season with Vox Humana we had a choir performance in which we performed some beautiful music while a slide show of the work of J. Kirk Richards was shown. It was incredibly powerful to see the Christ-centered paintings and the music together. I've never done anything like it. I'm so grateful for this opportunity I have had. I've learned and grown so much as a singer and musician and I have found so much fulfillment doing this. I've now been asked to be the treasurer for the choir. It'll be another learning and growing experience for me, but one I feel like I need to do at this time.

A few random items

 Look! Her hair is finally long enough to put into pig tails!
 Yes, that is snow. On April 9th. Thank you Utah weather. It felt like one of those movie or TV show scenes where they are trying to make it look like winter, but everything underneath is still green.
 And this boy is super strong! If he were green, you might mistake him for the Hulk!
 These two buddies just love to play together!
The Spurs made it into the playoffs again this year and one of Scott's friends from Texas decided we needed some of this cereal, since we don't have HEB here or Slam Duncan O's. It was a fun surprise!

Spring Break

 This year we did a stay-cation. Scott took the week off of work and we did something fun with the kids everyday. Monday we went up to Salt Lake to a chocolate shop where one of Scott's Magic friends does parlor magic. There was also a lady there doing balloon artwork, and it really was artwork! I've never seen such balloon creations!

 Annicka got Harry Potter
 Ever got a princess crown
 A sword for Indie.
 Wonder Woman for Milo.
And a fire breathing dragon for Park.
 Lunch out with the family one day.
 And hiking the "Y" on another day. It's a hard hike and these kids did awesome!







Scott took the older kids go-karting one day...once they got there Indie was a little scared, but he sure enjoyed watching Park and Annicka race.

And finally another night I took the older kids to see Beauty and the Beast, and dinner together after. What a fun week we had together!

Ever and Aaron

These two have a love hate relationship going on. The hate is usually on Ever's side when she comes running and screaming into the house and won't let him in. He can play a little too rough for her tastes sometimes, but when they get along, they really get along and play well together. This was at Aaron's birthday celebration. Roasted hot dogs on our fire pit with cupcakes and ice cream.
