March 2012

March turned out to be a better month. Weather improved, kids were busy with sports, some fun activities . . . makes for a GREAT time. J

EMILY: Stayed BUSY with school. She’s working hard to graduate early and we are proud of her for her efforts. Picked up a little on the guitar and has been working out a ton, trying to get into shape.

JENNY: Track, social life, studying. She has been working really hard in Biology, her least favorite subject, and has enjoyed track . . . MOSTLY. She HATES the mile.

JARED: Basketball, basketball, and more BASKETBALL! He thoroughly enjoys every minute of it. One of the great blessings of living where we do is that he gets to participate in sports with his cousins. This year he did NOT get on the same team as Thomas, but they did get to play against each other in the tournament. Top 2 teams! Of course . . . Sperry’s are on both of them. J

KATE: Kate had a good month. Busy with friends and school. Soccer hasn’t started yet, but boy-oh-boy is she ready for it. Funny girl keeps us hopping. She’s the “SEAT BELT POLICE” and if you enter our car and do not immediately put on your seat belt, you are going to hear about it. Loudly. And forever. So buckle up for safety.

HUNTER: Hunter got to play basketball with his best friend, Cooper. They had SO much fun. He kept busy playing, as all 6-year olds should. Hunter started a new thing this month which I find extremely adorable. He likes to tell the joke, “Why does the chicken cross the road?” The cute part? You can answer however you want and he responds with an enthusiastic “YES!” For example: Hunter: “Why does the chicken cross the road?” Tyler: “So he can get to the alien ship and peck the aliens so he can get their dog food.” Hunter: “YES!” So. Stinking. Cute.

Obviously, they are all still cute! Love my babies. J

Jared and Thomas at their championship game. Cute little guys!

Jenny at her track meet. We LOVE watching her run. I’m not sure if it’s the “Forest Gump” quote of “RUN, JENNY!” But it sure helps. Love this cute girl. A lot!

We took a Sunday after ride out to the lake and visited with the Summerhays. Such a beautiful day! Max jumped in the lake to chase a stick too many times to count. He was in HEAVEN. We all had a blast and look forward to many more lazy afternoons just like this. J
