What if...

If Jared and I had girls, they might look something like this:

If Kyle was about 20 years older, he might look something like this:

Aren't they cute?

Thank goodness we're just us right now. We had a great time at the ward luau tonight. We enjoyed Hawaiian Haystacks, great music that Kyle really got into, and Lance, Jace, and Mom were limbo stars.

Jace's Poem

You have to turn your volume up to hear this, but it's awesome! Last night, Jace read a poem written by himself at the annual Poetry and Prose night at his school. Way to go, Jace!

Cuckoo Bird, Cuckoo Bird

Your feathers are so soft

You tell us when it's bedtime and time to go to bed.

I like it when you say "Cuckoo", you are our Cuckoo Bird

Cuckoo Bird, Cuckoo Bird

I asked Jace what inspired this poem. He said, "It was the one that I could think of that had the right rhythm with the right words."

Two Fish, Blue Fish

Yesterday we went swimming with several other moms and kids at Fairmont Aquatic center (indoor). Lance braved the "river" where there is a current of water that carries you through a sort of canal under a bridge and then toward a whirlpool. We swirled around in there a few times, too. We had so much fun that we didn't even stop to take pictures until after we were done! Kyle didn't even complain that his upper lip started to look a little blue. Hopefully you can see by these faces who had a good time.

3,2,1...

"3...2...1...BEEP!" Kyle loves to yell something that sounds like this when he shoots a basket. It is SOOO fun to watch.

3 Busy Boys in Preschool

First, we made the cookies... and then we ate them!

(Timothy, Lance, and Andrew cutting out note-shaped cookies. They are learning about music this week at our house. Oh, and that's Kyle waving above Timothy's head)

Thanks for the note cookie cutters, Mom! (I got a lot of great stuff from my Mom, who has taught piano for longer than I can remember)
