The blond version...

Going blond is totally worth it (at least until the roots start coming in and then this do would be a maintenance nightmare) Nicole did a great job! Once we got the red out and I used a special shampoo from my FIL that takes out the brassy tone, I love it and am trying to see if blonds really do have more fun :)
Here is the blonde version of me! Parker LOVES it, he frequently says, "you're blond just like me!" Abigail loves that my color matches hers and Brittany and Alex are getting used to it, they didn't care for it much at first and Wyatt-well he LOVES it too, I'll post an update later when I have the darker blond woven into it when the roots grow.

Festival

Brittany and Alex just got their scores from festival this year and I am so proud of them. Brittany is intermediate and got 97 playing "Wild Honeysuckle Rag" and "Allegro" and Alex got a 98 playing "Simple Song" and "Boogie." We went to Rexburg first thing in the morning, they performed and then we went out to lunch together, it was just us three and it was a special morning.

Savanna's 1st Birthday!

Here is Savanna's first birthday cake. I made her an edible rainbow! It is an Angel Food Cake with half whole wheat, real whipped cream frosting and of course fruit :)

My baby is one year old, how does it happen so fast is my big question?

She made us proud making a mini mess of her cake, I wish she would have gotten even more messy though :)

Yellowstone, Easter and the Pinewood Derby!

Alex participated in his second Pinewood Derby this year, he had so much fun designing and creating his car with his Dad, here is his car coming in second place, he is watching his car, it's a blur because it was so fast!!!
For Spring Break, we went to Yellowstone and spent four nights there just for the fun of it, and just for a change of scenery. The children were out for a full week and since it is still snowy and cold outside here, I couldn't imagine being here for that long. Even though Wyatt couldn't come, we still had fun. My sister even decided to come so the cousins could have fun together, we had an awesome girls week out!
We went to the Bear and Wolf Discovery Center
We swam twice every day we were there, one session we even swam 3 1/2 hours and I finally told the children we were getting out and they still didn't want to! I think they could be part fish, but at any rate we still had fun.
Twins! (cousins that is) these two are the best of friends. Did I mention we swam? And swam and swam some more!!!

Here are all the colorful, artistic egg creations of the children this year, we had a great time.




We had a happy snowy Easter. (In the last week we have gotten several feet of snow, it snowed more consecutively this week than it ever did all winter-crazy huh? I guess that's Spring at 65oo ft.)
