Spring Break: Part I

Walks with grandma are the best. exploring. singing. talking about everything.

Walks with grandma are exciting. full of adventure and their favorite thing to do with her.

Building Lego towns while listening to General Conference. 2 hours worth of entertainment.

This boy thinks he is a Power Ranger. Yes. Those are swimming goggles.

This little miss insisted that this cat needed to eat a slice of orange.

the kids and I.

We love having the missionaries in our home. In the last year both Mr. H and I have had the chance to serve as ward missionaries. lots of laughs. spiritual uplifts. photography talk. furniture rearranging. and chicken.

just a little shaving cream.

a white fluffy mess with shaving cream. fun. creative. surprisingly simple clean up.

Athenisms.

while I was cooking dinner this boy had a book of school paper. one little boy who was supposed to be writing his letters was instead cutting paper into pieces and using a glue stick to glue the pieces to his head. these are his "ear muffins"  also known to most of us as ear muffs.

*where do they get their ideas?

H: Athen sounds like you have a frog in your throat. Does your throat hurt?
A: yeah, it kind of feels all funkied up and twisted.

*didn't hear those words from mom

Remembering this little moment in life.

 miss M. she loves everything that belongs to her brother.
sometimes it is a green t-shirt. sometimes it is the white and blue tennis shoes. tonight a bike helmet.
