Wacky Hair Day!

The kids had a fun Wacky Hair Day at school. They needed a hair cut anyway so we decided to let them go crazy for one day.

Zach was really excited to have cool hair!

Spencer's Wacky Hair

Spencer loved all the attention he got at school on Wacky Hair day. He has never done anything like this and was a bit nervous. I even had to pay him ten dollars to do it.

I was even happier that they were glad to get all their hair buzzed off before bed that evening.

It was fun for one day!

Burps and Beans

Isn't Zachary so cute! How could this smart, fun, good looking kid do anything wrong? Well, he has started a bad habit of burping. He even comes home from school and burps/reads his books outloud. It go so out of control that one day as I was sitting by him helping with homework, I got a bit of inspiration. I got this small jar and filled it with jelly beans. I told him that every time he burps I am going to take one out and eat it. This was on a Tuesday and I told him that on Friday after dinner he could have what was left in the jar. I am very pleased that it worked so well! He got about half the jar.

Easter!

We had a great time dipping eggs for Easter. The boys love it every year. I got these fun egg holder at Waechtersbach aka The Red Plate Store here in Germany.

More Easter!

It was nice this Easter to be home since it was General Conference. We had a lesson about the Savior and the kids acted out the parts of the story. The kids thought it was fun.

Then here at home we had a small egg hunt and small bag filled with candy. They also got a book and a small wooden top.

The egg hunt was a bit different. I had them find eggs of a certain color so I could hid the some of them in hard to find places.

Jac my niece is here visiting and it was fun to have her join the gang.

Missionary Primary Activity

The Primary children had a fun activity. They "boarded a plane" and visited Hawaii, Peru, Russia, and Brazil in just two hours!

We set up the Hawaii room...I am glad we had all of our luau stuff.

Spencer shared stories and pictures of when he served his mission in Hawaii. The children loved it! He even had pineapple, a shell and a lei for each of them.

This is some of the children in Russia. Each room had fun things to look at. It was a fun activity and we all hope they have a desire to serve a mission.

Our first Pinewood Derby!

Spencer was so excited to build a car and race it in the Pinewood Derby! He designed it on paper and then Dad helped him do all the work.

It was fun to see all the cars and the fun designs they came up with. The antispation of each race was fun and kept us excited.

The boys cheers each other on. Dad Spencer was glad that Spencers car did pretty good and crossed the finish line everytime.

The Pinewood Derby was really fun and we are happy that many more are to come. :)

Swirling Colors

Spencer and Zachary participated in their schools Science Fair. They worked together as partners and did a great job. Their project was Swirling Colors. You take whole milk at room temperature and put it in a shallow dish. Put in 3-4 drops of different food coloring. Then add a 2 drops of liquid dish soap and watch the colors swirl!

This was a fun and easy project. I was really happy that they took charge and found their own project. Try it at home...it is pretty neat!

Happy Birthday Zachary!

We ate lunch with Zachary at school on his birthday! Here his is with his friend Hunter.

Zachary's wishes were a superman cake!

Zachary had a few friends over after school to celebrate his birthday.

Here is Zachary making his birthday wishes. Happy Birthday Zachary!

Happy Birthday Rex!

Rex has turned 4!

Spencer made him this great T-Rex birthday cake!

Rex enjoyed playing with Micheal Vail and Jakob Lord and his brothers on his birthday.

SpenceD came up with the idea of lifting Rex up on a chair when we sang Happy Birthday to him. Rex thought it was great!

Here is Rex blowing out the candles on his cake. Happy Birthday Rex!

Basketball Winter 2010

Another basketball season has come and gone.

Spencer coached Zachary's and Rex's team. They had a good time running around and developing their skills. I had a hard time keeping Brandt off the court. He loves to do whatever his brothers are doing.
