Soccer

 All 3 kids are in soccer this year. Wednesdays are super busy with all 3 practices and Scouts!

 We love watching Violette play - she is pretty intense!

 Her favorite teammate Gabby and her are always hugging! They usually don't play at the same time because they are too busy talking to each other when they are on the field.

 Penelepe is so aggressive and usually scores  several goals a game. 

The first few games have been so cold and we've learned to bundle up!

1st Pinewood Derby

 Oliver made his car all by himself with just a little help with cutting, and if needed Ryan was their for advice. He took 3rd place!

 We had several boys over that needed help with their cars and one took 2nd!

Easter

 We decided to be natural this Easter and dye our eggs with veggies and no chemicals. Sounds healthy, but our eggs were not cute.

 Violette is cute.

 But the eggs looked more like dinosaur snake eggs.... so we did a redo.

They may not have been organic eggs but they were cuter.

Bow and Arrows

 We have the greatest parks close by with so much to do! We have been using the archery park for our Olympic training.

Penelepe the brave door hunter.

 

 Ryan trying to get us our dinner of squirrel.

 Sylvie's favorite game is to crawl up the stairs and then get stuck up at the top and cry for someone to save her.

 Violette and her faces, we can't get enough.

 Violette also picks out the best outfits. She is Always wearing a skirt and headbands.

It's too hard to pick one flower.

Nauvoo

 Momma Lee and Mariel, now Sister Lee, came out for a visit before she left on her mission to the Ukraine. We are so excited for her!

 The kids learned the art of rope making.

We wanted to help Mariel be ready for the snow so we scheduled a nice snow storm for her visit. She has been too spoiled in St. George, or maybe we are too jealous.

 Violette loves learning dance moves from her Dad.
