First Day of Second Grade

Jackson was so ready for school to start.  I don't know why he making such a cheesy face.

A few friends leaving for the school bus.

Hayden and his best friend Kate.  They were reading a book while we were waiting for Jackson's bus to come.

Foam Fest

My friend had a crazy idea to run in the Foam Fest.  It was actually a lot of fun.  We were on a team, "Jem and the Foamagrams".  We spent the night before getting ready.  We were all over coloring our hair, crimping and crazy makeup.  The pictures are not in order but I am way too lazy to fix that right now.

Getting ready

Before the race started.

The Lilypad

 River Cross

Electric Fence (Yes, real electricity!)

Failing at crossing the river.

We made it!!!

We actually made it in an hour.  We were very proud of that time.

Can you tell we are running on 2 hours of sleep?

This is actually from the start line.

I am in the back in pink shorts.

It was a really fun race.  I will definitely do this one again.

Utah Symphony in the Park

We went to our yearly tradition of seeing the Utah Symphony in the park.  The Prax Family came with us.  I am really glad that Jamie brought her camera because I forgot mine.  Here are some crazy pictures of the kids before the symphony started.

Hayden and soccer

Hayden is taking a "Learn How to Play Soccer" class.  He has a lot of fun with it.  His t-ball class starts soon.   

The red Elephants!

Hayden was so excited he was able to throw in the ball when it was kicked out .

First Grade Program

Jackson had his first grade program.  It was so stinkin' cute.  They all did a great job.  It was all about rain, spring, rainbows, etc.  Jackson danced to Singing in the Rain.  Of course my picture didn't work out.  It was by far the cutest elementary program I have ever seen.

Somewhere over the Rainbow

"Here comes the Sun"

My cute Jackson in his element-music and performing.

Jackson & soccer

Jackson is playing soccer this spring.  I don't think he really likes it much.  He just wants his trophy at the end.  I don't know that Jackson likes playing sports much at all.  He wants to play them but when they don't come naturally, he is done.  What do you do?  At least he is getting some exercise in.

Blake and T-ball

Here are a few pictures of Blake playing T-ball.  He really likes to play.  I think that next year will be better for him because he will be on a team only with 6 year olds.  He has a lot of 3 year olds on his team and it doesn't make the game as fun.  

 Blake refused to use the tee.  If his coach gets it out for him, he gets very offended and tells the coach that he can pitch it to Blake.

Museum of Natural History

We were able to go to the new Natural History Museum for free.  It was really fun.  I am thinking about getting a year pass.  The boys were so excited to see all the new exhibits, they wouldn't stop long enough for me to take a picture.  Here are a few that I was able to get that are not complete blurs of kids running to see the next thing. :)  

 The kids really like to see the paleontologists.   I am sure they loved being stared at and having the camera flash in their faces.
