Shakin' Things Up a Bit

We went bowling last Saturday to celebrate Aunt Jo's & Uncle Trevor's 31st birthday. As you can see, Amy developed her own technique.

Can't believe we never posted it! It's classic!

Amy became a "Handwriting Expert" this week, which means that she gets free time during handwriting time for the rest of the school year. Her spacing, sizing and positioning have all improved tremendously since the beginning of the year.

Kara reached an important milestone this week: she found a pair of scissors and gave her stuffed kitty a hair cut.

Brenda's craft supplies are almost all reorganized. The master bedroom closet looks and feels so much better.

Joy has a new church calling. He was released as a family history consultant and called to serve as the advancement specialist on the scout committee. So he'll be using computer software (imagine that) to keep track of the progress of each scout as they work on merit badges and other requirements for rank advancements.

Interesting stuff:

-Don't you wish your mailbox was this cool?

QOSROIT: Are you a Handwriting Expert?

Thank You, Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny brought hats and stuffed animals,
among other things.

Kara's new favorite word is "doink."

Brenda sang in the 5th annual multi-choir community Easter concert on Friday night.

Amy has Spring Break this week. Hopefully it will reinvigorate her for her last 24 1/2 days of second grade.

Joy has made significant progress on the wiring downstairs in the last few days. There are now lights in all the rooms except the bathroom.


Interesting stuff:

-Never underestimate the power of an 83-year-old woman.



QOSROIT: Share your Easter traditions, especially any that focus on the Savior.

Amy's latest culinary achievement involves
drinking root beer and lemonade at the same time.

Much to Mom & Dad's horror, Amy seems to be growing up with a Utah accent: she doesn't feel the need to pronounce the letter t in the middle of a word.

Kara had her last day of preschool for the year on Tuesday. We did alphabet review, games, Easter treats and an egg hunt.

Brenda has mixed feelings about the end of preschool. Teaching could be stressful, but it was fun to watch the kids grow and learn. They have all changed so much since September!

Joy has been playing with the Plex Media Center software for a few months now. It will allow us to manage and play all of our media through a computer: TV shows, DVDs, music, pictures, etc. He recently found out that he can configure our universal remote to control the media software. Ultimately, when we have the basement finished, we'll be able to connect our TV to a computer and set up a substantial entertainment system in a much more compact space.


QOSROIT: What kind of accent do you have? Take the American accent quiz and share your result.


Happy Easter!
