Smores, school and 5k

We have done smores in the backyard a few times.  

The kids love it.

Aaron has really been into his blocks lately, which I am grateful for.  He will play for hours and I can help the other kids or get something else done.  :)

We are still working hard with all of the school work.  

Leah and I made slime.  The slime glows in the dark.  Leah has been loving it.

We did a family 5k run.  It was fun to run with everyone!

Everyone finished strong and did a great job!

Emily has been running regularly.  I ran the 5k with her because she has out paced her Mom (who just had a baby 8 weeks ago).

My Mom got a new Cricut for her Birthday. We made shirts for our 5k Cowboys draft day!

Easter and General Conference

We are still homeschooling.  We have somewhat more of a routine.  We still have the power struggle.

Leah and I ran 2 miles together.  She is doing great!

We had a wonderful weekend listening to our Prophet and apostles.  The kids like to get really cozy.  ha ha

I had Aaron sorting eggs.  He was having a good time doing that.

Leah had to do a diorama of one of the ecosystems.  She picked the rain forest.  I thought it turned out great! 

We had a wonderful Easter.  Michael gave a talk to the Ward along with another sister.  It was nice to "gather" online anyway.

The kids had fun looking for eggs and enjoying their candy.

We love Easter!

We know that Christ lives!


We made everyone take a quick pic outside.  This is the best we could do.  lol

Our garden is growing really well.  We have had to pick things from the garden every night for dinner.  The kids love to use the salad spinner after I wash the lettuce.

The kids have to use technology for school.  I am grateful for all the teachers who had to change up everything to help everyone learn.  One more month!

We are required to wear masks now if we go into buildings.  We cut up leggings to use for the kids.

They hated it, and they don't go anywhere anyway, but just in case we thought we would be prepared.

Leah loves musicals.  The last few weeks we have introduced a new musical to her.  This week on Youtube they broadcast the Phantom of the Opera.  Even the other kids were interested.  


Birthdays

My Mom had a Birthday.  We had her favorite dinner and cookies.  We sure do love having her here!

Michael had a Birthday as well!  I didn't get pictures of his cheesecake or favorite dinner.  I guess I was living in the moment.  We are so glad he was born.  We have enjoyed our extra time with him.  He still has to go into work but he doesn't have to go out for Church as much.  :)
