Princess Jenny makes an Official Decree

"A Decree"

I decree that I should get a German Shorthaired Pointer.

It would be good for all mankind because, if I don't get it before 5th grade I shall annoy My parents for all eternity (I know, thats a long time).

S0 for my parents own good I make this decree.

If they follow through with this they shall have a grand wonderful life.

If my parents pull this as a prank and just get a stuffed animal German Shorthaired Pointer, they will be sooo sorry!"

Here comes Peter Cottontail

Emily is excited about Easter. She made this giant bunny to welcome Peter Cottontail.

April Fools!

Jenny woke up early to come pile stuffed animals on top of me while I slept. I was surprised to see lots of furry faces when I woke up. Then she piled them all on the cat...Dusty did not stick around for long. When I went to start breakfast, Jenny's stuffed animal "Baby" was there waiting to be fed.

Spring Break

We took a day trip to Bruneau Sand Dunes for Spring Break. After 2 days of cleaning out the attic we were ready for some fun! We packed a picnic lunch and headed out! We hiked up and down sand hills for 2 hours, with a little rolling down hills added in for good measure. After lunch, the kids flew kites and played in the sand.

Reader's Theatre

Emily's reading group held a reader's theatre. All week we heard the entire story of John Henry Steel Driving Man over and over...Emily had memorized everyone's part not just her own! The class did a great job!

We Love Our Old Dog!

Midnight is 13 years old now! He is so happy it is warming up and the kids are staying outside to play longer! Every spring he acts just like a puppy again...well, minus chewing on the air conditioner hoses.

Last Snow Day?

This snow came after a few days of warm weather. Cody and Emily wanted to play in what we think will be the winter's last snow. They crammed in all the fun they could before the snow started to melt! They made a snowman, and had a snowball fight (with Dad as the target) while Jenny watched from the saftey of the kitchen.
