The Discovery Center - March 24, 2011

The Discovery Center is absolutely AWESOME!!!

 You get to play in water, build a robot, see how electricity works, play with light switches, pull yourself up on a chair, play with bubbles, see a tornado, play store with real cash registers, plus so much more.  We never tire of going here.  I love that they show that science is so fun, wonderful and useful. THANK YOU. 

What a fun educational experience... and they have no clue they are learning, learning, learning.  With all of the hands on stations how could they not.

Learning is fun,

Chucky Cheese - March 23, 2011

When in Boise we always try to have some time with Grandma Sara.  This time she choose to go to Chucky Cheese and with such a fun place we thought the cousins would love that, so all but Jessica and Lily could come, school.  The children loved it and I loved chatting with the grown up women. 

This trip Morgan & Violet, who are just 3 weeks apart in age, started to really play with each other. 

!!!I LOVE Cousin time!!!

FHE cupcakes - March 21, 2011

 For our family home evening,with Bushka and Papa, the children decorated cupcakes.  They had so much fun.  Jason never ate a cupcake would just suck on the marshmallows over and over until we discovered this.

 Cupcakes pictured go morgan, zach, katie and then jason's.  Bushka loves cooking with the grandchildren, all of them.  She always seems to have a project to cook or decorate when we visit.  She enjoys the time together, the memories formed.  I have to say always enjoy the break and the outcome of them.

Here are the two Katie's. Katie #1 and Katie #2.  Our katie and katie dougal a friend that lives around the corner from Bushka's and Papa's house.  They have a remarkable friendship and love being together.  This night they did a report on Buffalo.  They had to have spent close to an hour working on typing info on buffalo and getting the font style and color just perfect.  They are two little peas in a pod, these the two Katie girls.

for HER birthday

For Katie's birthday, 9th one, all she wanted was to get her ears pierced.  So, I talk Trevor into it and we got it done in Boise during our spring Break trip there.  She was so happy about it until she was in the chair and then well look at her expressions... .they say it by far better than words.

After seeing those one would think why in the world would she want that for a birthday present...  well it is the picking out of the earrings later, matching them to her outfits and all the fun she thinks she is going to have.  Plus most of her friends were getting their ears pierced too.   Katie I am glad that you are who you are and that you allow yourself to show all your feelings, I love that about you.  It does make for some good photos of emotions too. 
Oh --- she got cute crystal daisy shaped earrings.

Love you Katie bug,
Mom

March 18, 2011 was the day of the piercing.

Is Great to be IRISH

HaPpy SaINt PaTRick'S DaY!

 Here is the crew minus Jason (he wasn't into it) and with the addition of our friends Mait and Morgan Graham.

 the boys had matching charmin shirts, AWESOME.  I love that we get to have our own holiday and they print our last name all over things each and every year.  It is fun, at least I think so... Trevor not so much. :(

Although you notice that he is sporting an Irish kind of shirt...... he is coming around.

We always have some kind of green food, a green treat... green all the way. 

Wishes,

Jen/mom/friend
