Life's not ALL Drama...

We have been having fun times too! Spring in Boise, Idaho is just FABULOUS!! It is 85 and sunny one day, and 45 and freezing the next. On the nice days, Mike finds ways to keep the kids happy and make fun memories with them. Elliott has been begging to go golfing for ages, which we can't understand, because he's never been golfing. But, it is another sport, and he loves EVERY sport, so Mike made it happen.


Even Lucy enjoyed herself.

Elliott has been a great helper too. He is counting down the days until he's old enough to mow the lawn all by himself.....oh how quickly that enthusiasm will diminish when he is forced to do it...hee hee. 

 We were able to go to a BSU spring practice game. We only made it through half the game because it was so cold and windy!


I don't remember the occasion that inspired this fruit pizza, but it looks yummy, no? I think it might have been Archie's family gathering birthday cake...sure, let's say that! 
Two weeks after Mike and I raced to beat Pete, the kids got to do a fun run mile for their school. It was fun for Mike and I to cheer them on like they did for us.

Here they are pre-race. you can't tell, but they are very excited.
 Go Kindergarteners!
 Lucy finishing the race!

We were so proud of them. We clocked a mile on the drive home, and the kids were so impressed that they ran THAT far! Elliott especially has been a different kid since then. It was like a light turned on and he realized he can do hard things! He has been so independent and taking initiative he would never have taken before. It is so great to see them grow in confidence and be proud of themselves like we are proud of them.

So what you are saying is that the temperature at the Boise ball game was the opposite of the Cubs game in Mesa? Great fruit pizza and great running kids. I think the fun is just beginning at your house.
Love, Mom and Dad
