Ian's 7th Birthday Party

We had a "magical" birthday party for Ian this year. We hired magician Christopher Fair who did an excellent job. And the kids loved him!

Happy Easter

Such Handsome Boys

The boys are growing up so fast and turning out to be such handsome boys. Ian wanted a suit jacket for his birthday coming up in a few weeks; we think it's because Connor got a suit for his baptism and he's feeling a little left out.

First Discipline Stripes

Connor and Ian earned their first discipline stripes today at karate. They each added a red stripe to their belts. Today's stripes were for reading at least 30 minutes every day. On Monday they will each get two more stripes for completing their chores for a week and for doing extra duties at home/school without having to be asked. They both seem to really enjoy the class and I'm excited about how much they focus when they take it.

Karate Lessons

The boys had their introductory class today for karate from Master Lee. They start their lessons on Monday.

Puppet Workshop

Today I attended Connor's Puppet Workshop and Show at Draper Elementary. First we made our own puppets and then we saw a puppet show by Coralie Leue of the Utah Puppet Theater. It's always fun to spend one-on-one time with Connor.
