Happy St. Patrick's Day

The boys had a great St. Patrick's Day. We started the day with green pancakes, green milk, green apples, and green grapes for breakfast. Connor and Ian wore their favorite "Kiss Me I'm Irish" T-shirts to school. Ian had mint Oreo cookies and green ice cream in his kindergarten class and learned about a leprechaun who left a treasure hunt for the class. Connor made a leprechaun costume. When the boys got home, a secret leprechaun left them pots of gold. They were so excited and loved the surprise! We're not sure who left the pots of gold but we so appreciated it.

Our Night in Provo

We went to the Carl Bloch exhibit at the BYU Museum of Art last night. It really is a beautiful exhibit. Each of us rented an iPad with earphones and were able to learn more about each piece of artwork in detail. Ian's favorite piece was Christ and the Young Child and Connor's favorite was Christ in Gethsemane. We are so glad we took the boys. It was a very inspiring evening. Before the exhibit, we took all the cousins to the Brick Oven for dinner. They are all going to BYU, except Jordan who is at Utah Valley University. It was great to see Jordan, Erin, Kyle, Blaine and Alayna.

Wolf Scouts

I've been called to work with the Wolf Scouts. Here's a picture from last night's den meeting where they learned sign language! They are a great group of boys.

Walking Report Card

Kim and I attended Ian's "Walking Report Card" in kindergarten today. After the class performed songs, each student sat down with his parent(s) and went through a performance packet. It was fun to see how much Ian is learning and how much he loves school and his friends.

Valentine 'Date' With My Boys

Several weeks ago the boys asked if we could have a special date on Valentine's Day. They didn't have school today so we went to Classic Fun Center. They played and I watched. They are easily entertained and had such a fun time. I'm so glad they enjoy playing with each other.

Ian's First Try at Ice Skating

Ian was invited to a classmate's birthday party on Saturday at the County Ice Rink. It was Ian's first time ice skating. He did great. It was quite hilarious watching all the boys fall down over and over and over... Matthew's dad was a good sport at taking turns with each of them on the ice.
