Kaleigh's Kindergarten Program

Kaleigh is just about finished with Kindergarten. She started Kindergarten not knowing how to do much of anything and she now knows how to read, write lots of words, add/subtract, and lots of other stuff that would probably fill up this whole page if I kept going. On April 28th Kaleigh sang with her class for all the parents and for her Grandma and Grandpa Smith. She did great! Kaleigh with Grandpa & Grandma Smith

Last of the birthday celebrations!

We just finished up all of the parties for little Hagen. Thanks everyone for all the great gifts and taking time to celebrate with us.

Below is a picture of Sidney and Hagen at my Mormor's house. She doesn't go out much anymore so we had a small party at her house. Hagen and his great grandma Olsen "Mormor"




Hagen had a friend party with all his fun school classmates and other friends that he plays with.

Of the many presents that Hagen received for his birthday,leave it up to Uncle Lance to to give him a live rat. He was not so sure of the rat at first but slowly warmed up to it. He has since decided that he loves his rat and is really glad to have it. Mom is still not so sure about the rat but is warming up to the idea. Hagen named her "Spider Girl".

Happy 4th Birthday Hagen

My little Hagen turned four today!! He got a spider man bike and he loved it. Hagen is a rough little boy who loves to play fight, watch PBS kids, eat candy, and for a four year old is so polite. Happy birthday my little Hagen!! Grandma and Grandpa Sylvester got Hagen dragon pajamas from the movie "How to train your dragon". Hagen was exstatic, he loved them. He might be wearing them to bed every night for the next week.
As a family we went to Chucky Cheese Pizza

Spring Break in Salt Lake

For spring break we wanted to do something fun but not too expensive. We reserved a room at a hotel in SLC with a indoor swimming pool. If we could have spent the entire time in the pool the kids would have been happy.

Sidney, Kaleigh, and Hagen at the Living planet Aquarium. Penguin exhibit was pretty awesome. We watched "How to train your dragon" in 3d at the Imax at Jordan commons. Awesome movie, I would recommend it to any one.
Having to get out of the pool is a sad thing. I think the kids loved being in the pool more than they did going to any of the other activities we had planned.

Sidney loved the water. As soon as she was comfortable with the water she was floating in her tube by herself and even trying to plug her nose to put her face in the water.

Easter Fun

So Easter has come and gone and not only did we get to enjoy the holiday and everything that comes with it we also were able to listen to conference and the great messages that were spoken. What a blessing it is in our lives to be led by some of the most amazing people.

What is Easter without coloring eggs. A normal ritual for Hagen, Olivia, Ily and Kaleigh. But Little Sidney couldn't understand why she wasn't allowed to drink the egg dye. It isn't supposed to snow on Easter. This year it did so a quick little hunt on the deck at my parent's house in Vernal was good.

We also went shooting while in Vernal. We just got a new shot gun and I have been so excited to shoot it. A little windy but it was awesome.

Egg Hunts and Many More to Come

So, I thought I would post these pictures because by the time the weekend is over we going to have two more egg hunts and tons of Easter Celebration pictures. Nuskin does an egg hunt for the children of the employees every year. Lots of fun and we all look forward to it. Sidney and Hagen were pretty excited but Kaleigh has been really sick for an entire week now and every time I said "Smile for the Camera" she just gave me her little half smile or told me she was tired. She should be going back to school tomorrow :) just in time to have an entire week off for spring break.

Kids Playing

Still waiting for it to quit snowing!! I guess I should just be patient, even though I am not the most patient person. I just want it to stop snowing and be sunny and warm but until then we'll just have to be creative. Last night the kids had their friends, Samuel and Amelyah, over to play and watch a movie. They were a little crazy but a lot of fun. Kaleigh was very helpful in cleaning up the beads that Sidney dumped all over my office floor. Then she came into the kitchen and decided to pop the bag as if she was popping a bag of chips. Beads of all colors flew everywhere! Kaleigh was really sad because it took forever for her to pick them all up again and I am still fiding beads. Just one of those moments to remember.
