Reflections and Whoville

Sami entered the Reflections contest this year at school. She is in Second grade and decided that she would enter an art piece that Nana made with her last year. Sami passed the school level and made it to District.

The theme was "The Magic of a Moment". Sami made her art piece out of paint chip samples and pieced them together to form a Butterfly. Good Job Sami!!

Sami's school had a crazy hair day. Sami happened to be sick that day, but requested that I still give her crazy hair. She asked to look like a Who in Whoville since it was around Christmas time. She went to see the doctor like this and also to the store. She thought it was the coolest thing. Poor girl, you can see it in her eyes that she feels crummy.

Dinosaur park

For UEA break from School, Grandma Brenda and Uncle Braden came and met Aunt Lindsay and our family (minus Matt) in Ogden at Dinosaur Park. We had a good time. It was around Halloween time so they had out Spooky Spiders and Webs along with ghouls and other funky noises.

Lindsay took Logan over to the Tyrannosaurus Rex to snap this picture. I LOVE IT!! Especially since Logan's shirt says Dinosaur Explorer! Logan is great at the Facial expressions.

This is the only picture I got of all 5 kids and I laugh everytime. We had a good time.

After the Park we went to eat at the Rainbow Gardens. Outside the restaurant they had these Butterfly chairs that the kids found and loved.

It's always fun to hang out with Grandma and Braden!

Zucchini Racers and Donuts on a string!!

We went to Lindsay's Ward party with her. They always do a Zucchini races and donuts on a string. My kids love going with Aunt Lindsay and enjoy the party. Lindsay is always roped into doing face painting, and does really cool designs on my kids.

Lucy said she wanted to be a kitty cat. So this was Lindsay's final product. Don't mind the half eaten cupcake Lucy is showing in her mouth.

In the Spirit of Zucchini racing, Eston decided that he really wanted to enter this year. So Lindsay bought him a truck at the DI to use and we used what we had on hand, a Banana. Since it wasn't a real Zucchini we colored it Green and named his entry, "The Flying Impostor and His Flying Truck". Eston kept taking first place and even challenged Lindsay's Bishop to a race. The Bishop is undefeated and almost lost to Eston this year. He held on by the skin of his teeth. 

Eston really wanted to make sure that I was represented with our winning car.

They also had donuts on a string. The kids LOVED this. Sami, Eston, and Logan really got into the spirit of this and kept their hands behind their backs.

But Lucy, felt as long as she didn't use her fingers and kept her hands in fists that she was still well with in the rules. It was quite humorous to watch them all.

Thanks for the fun Lindsay!
