Garrett and Alex had a Luau at school on Friday. They had each kid bring some type of fruit and they had mothers come and cut up all the fruit and serve it to them on plates. They set up the room like they were eating on the ground sitting indian style. They had made grass skirts and lais and fire sticks. It was so much fun. They had also made volcanos which they set off later in the day. They taught them a dance and they performed that. It was very well done. We are very sad to see the school year end. Mrs. Baer has been an Awesome teacher and has truely been a fun teacher for the twins. They are very good readers and we have her to thank for that.
I have been so bad lately at blogging. I have started to get on Facebook and I just forget to upload my pictures and blog. So sorry here are a couple of blogs I had to go all the way back to Easter. Sorry it is a lot.
We took the boys fishing at the Trout Farm today. It was a lot of fun. They were so cute and enjoyed it. Jex was so funny everytime we caught a fish he would laugh and say OOH NASTY GROSS. Michael chased him with one of the fish and he was squelling like a girl and crying MOMMY! We had the fish skinned and fillet and Michael cooked them up tonight and the boys ate every piece of it.
Jex graduated from his first year of Pre-school. He has loved school so much. He has made friends with everyone in his class. He is very fond of one girl more than the rest her name is Sophie. Sophie and Jex have a lot in common they are the same age and they are both very petite. Jex is always talking about Sophie..he can't say Sophie so he calls her Feefee. As you can see from the pictures they are dancing together which was so cute. It will be a very long summer..Jex looks forward to school everyday. When school starts back up he will be in the same class as Sophie and for that he will be excited.
We went Bowling as a family to the bowling alley up on the base. It was a fun the boys had a blast. Jex got injured, he was to inpatient and picked up a heavy ball and his thumb got stuck between the ball and the floor. He cried for a few seconds and then he was fine. Here is the score from our last game: Michael 134 Rachel 121 Jex 101 Garrett 85 Alex 78
These are a few of our Easter Pictures. We actually attend a huge Egg Hunt at my Uncle Jeffs house that is so big that the kids come home with two buckets full of stuff each. The boys had a blast and the Easter Bunny defiantly stopped at our house.
Michael and I met on a blind date..it seems like forever ago. When we met we had different feelings about each other. I thought that Michael was a dork and he thought that I was a stuck up snob. Something magically happened over night and I decided to let him call me again for another date. We have been inseperatable ever since. We are each others best friends and love the time that we spend together. We have three boys that we love and adore. Our lives are very busy. We love to spend time as a family and enjoy being outdoors and enjoying all that our Heavenly Father has given us. We hope that you enjoy reading our blog!!
