Instead, we had a paint fest. We even had two extras: Abby's friend Rylee and Bryant's friend Carter.<br />
It was fun, a little messy, and much less time consuming than carving. Although we did have some sadness morning the loss of Jack - or Mr. 'O Lantern - better known as Jack 'O Lantern!<br />

This year we went up and had sandwiches and a marshmallow roast. The key for us is to get up there pretty early in the day or else all of the spots are taken. We have definitely come to enjoy our "favorite" spot year after year. We even have "our log" that we take our annual picture on. <br />
Anyway, you can see we had a lot of fun playing, hiking, eating, throwing rocks in the water, and playing in the leaves. We'll be back again next year, I'm sure!<br />

I decided to lure in some of my family (cousins and cousins-in-law) and do the 10K Dirty Dash too. It was at the same venue - Soldier Hollow. It was so much fun. It was really great doing it together with a large group of people. It was really hilly. My legs were so sore the next day. We waded through mud, swam through muddy water, climbed walls, crawled through tunnels, swung on rope swimgs, and even scaled a 20(ish) foot rope wall. It was a lot of fun. I hope we do it again next year!<br />

They are going to "A Leap Ahead Preschool." Their teacher is Miss Cathie. She is amazing!! We love her so much - she does an incredible job with the kids. <br />
The open house was a little scary for Grayce. She was very shy and scared. But, since then, she has grown to love preschool. <br />
The girls go to school Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30-11:45a.m. <br />
Preschool is done in Miss Cathie's house (in her basement). That was a concept that was a little bit hard to understand at first. <br />
Now, it is a countdown every day to when they go to school. I really feel like this year has been such a great preparation for kindergarten next year.<br />

We decided that one of the things on the top of our list was to go to Minnesota. Such a big part of our lives was there. We have dear friends there that we love. We also were anxious to go to some games at the Twins' new stadium, Target Field. <br />
We took the kids to Idaho to stay with Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles (2 kids at a time in each place, for 2 days at a time). We stayed for 5 days. <br />
We went to church in our old ward, we went to 3 Twins games (and we went on the pregame tour of Target Field), we visited my old place of work, we went to lunch with friends, had dinner with our old bishop and his wife at their new lakeside home, we went to the Mall of America, and we relaxed too. We slept in each morning - it was fantastic! I had forgotten how it felt. I had also forgotten how it was to only be responsible for myself. It took a little getting used to, but I managed. Even the airplane trip was relaxing and quiet.<br />
We had a great time!!!!<br />

Nick went a few days before I did for business. So, I took the kids up to Idaho and then went to the airport. I took a picture with each of them before I left. It was really hard to say goodbye to them. I was really excited for the trip and some time alone with Nick, but it was hard to leave them all. <br />

They Lukers were there too. We were eating together. While we were eating a butterfly came and landed right next to the blanket where the girls were eating lunch. From then on, it was complete fascination with the butterfly. It let the girls get so close that we all started to wonder if something was wrong. We finally decided that it was probably injured. We tried to take it and help it fly away. Eventually we left it on it's own. Hopefully our cute little friend survived.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341267153498353732.post-41437670468214431702012-01-19T11:49:00.000-08:002012-01-19T11:49:53.293-08:00Preston Rodeo ParadeThis year the Preston Rodeo Parade was done a little different. Usually they do it two nights in a row and it is really a good one for kids - lots of candy.<br />
This year, the day we went, they just did a horse parade. No candy.<br />
The kids were disappointed. So, Grandad went and bought a bag or two of candy and handed it out to all of the kids. It was cute of him - and obviously the kids loved it!!<br />

We dropped off the kids to grandparents. Anyway, we went to the park and got some cute pictures of the kids (except for Abby). We missed Abby because she was off geocaching and we never caught up with her while we were picture taking. She was there though. <br />

What a fun day. My little babies are 4! They have been looking forward to their birthday ever since they realized they were having one (about 7 months ago when Maggie and Abby had their birthdays). <br />
We had a little party for them with some of our friends that love our girls - Ricky and Annalese Evans (and their kids Kade, Lauren, Lexi, and Ty). We did some swimming, had some cake/ice cream (of course it was a princess cake), and opened presents.<br />
Nick and I took the girls to Build-A-Bear too. They had a lot of fun dressing up their new bears in ballet clothes. <br />
After the party, we took them to Trafalga where they rode the rides and had a great time celebrating. It was a great day!! I really can't believe it has been 4 years since they were born. I feel so blessed to have them both in our family, but even more so to have had them come together. They are such special friends. I can't imagine them being apart from each other. <br />

He is already in the 90% for his age in height. Bryant is average for his age. So, they look so close in size. They have recently started to share most of their clothes. We get asked all the time if we have two sets of twins when we are all out together. <br />
We'll see how soon Tyler totally passes Bryant up - I don't think it will be too long.<br />

They do ballet, tap, and jazz. It is pretty cute to watch them. I think they really enjoy it and often come home telling us the songs they danced to and the moves they learned.<br />
Just before Christmas the girls performed in their first dance recital. They did so much better than their mother did at their age. At my first recital they opened the curtains and I absolutely froze. I was so scared by the fact that there were so many people there watching that I didn't move the whole time.<br />
Grayce and Emma, on the other hand, did the entire dance as well as I had seen them do it. They smiled and seemed to really enjoy the dancing. Part of it may have been that Santa was there narrating the whole thing. Whatever the reason, they did great.<br />
Their performance was the story of the Grinch. They performed with many other dancers from the same studio where they take dance. So, they only had a small number. They were dressed up as the little DaWhos from Whoville. They had adorable hair and were so cute.<br />
Who knows, maybe we found something they will love to do!!<br />

We always go get some pizza, make some brownies, and go park across the freeway from Thanksgiving Point (where they set off the fireworks) and watch the show. It is fun. We bring chairs and blankets and just enjoy. We had great weather again this year and enjoyed our time together. Fun!!!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I tried something new this summer. My friend, Annalese, and I dove into the mud. We ran a 5K in the mud. It was so much fun. We even jumped into a pool of muddy water at the finish line. What a great time. My only regret is that I didn't get more pictures. Mostly that was because I didn't dare bring my camera along!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341267153498353732.post-59827933723071323732012-01-19T09:40:00.000-08:002012-01-19T09:40:47.934-08:00Baseball and Softball 2011Bryant started his first year of real competitive baseball. He played in a competitive city league (on the Angels team) early in the year and then tried out for and made it onto a super-league team (the Crush). He played a lot of first base, some short-stop, and some third base. He was really good. Their city league team took 2nd in the city and went on to the state tournament where they took 2nd place there too. We found out after the season was over that there was a little bit of a fight between coaches over who got to pick up Bryant in the city league (they have a try-out and draft). After the super-league season was over, we decided to move Bryant onto a newly formed super-league team coached by his city league coach another coach, and Nick. It has been a spectacular experience for him.<br />
Abby played on a competitive city softball team and tried out for and made it onto a super-league softball team too. She had a great season. Her city team barely squeezed into the state tournament. They were fun to watch. They lost 2 of their first 3 games at the state tournament.<br />
Tyler played base ball too. He was on a coach-pitch team. It was a little less than challenging for him because he is used to having to keep up with his brother and sister and has thus developed his skills really well. So, to keep himself entertained, he started hitting switch...one at bat right handed, the next - left-handed. It was fun to watch. He actually hit the ball really well on both sides of the plate!<br />

We had been threatening to get a pool for several years but kept talking ourselves out of it because of worries about little kids. This year, however, we decided that we would just have to be careful because we needed a pool.<br />
So, after much looking, we opted to get this one...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cGvF8uD6dgs/TpTrha99ntI/AAAAAAAAA_A/q62EfRL7eMU/s1600/IMG_1377.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="239" width="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cGvF8uD6dgs/TpTrha99ntI/AAAAAAAAA_A/q62EfRL7eMU/s320/IMG_1377.JPG" /></a></div><br />
There was much rejoicing. After a couple of hours, the pool was up. After a couple of days, the pool was filled. Then, after a couple more days, the chemicals were just right, and in we all went. It was so cold at first. Nick found us a solar blanket to put on top. It took a few warm days, but it really worked. In fact, it worked so well that we didn't keep it on everyday. <br />
<br />
The kids (and us) loved the pool all summer. We had many friends over, and friends or not, there was much swimming going on in our backyard. <br />
<br />

Of course, the girls still enjoyed their little pool (it had a slide). Grayce and Emma got pretty good at swimming in the big pool on their tubes. However, they were good to play with Maggie in the little pool too. It was just a fun summer of swimming for us.<br />

It is as big of a production as high school graduation. Well, okay, not as big, but almost. I guess it is good that the kids actually graduate from kindergarten and move on to actually school. <br />
Having said that, it was a really cute production the kids put on for all of the eager, picture taking, families. There were songs with actions (of course we got all of that on video), spoken parts (many of which could not be heard because the microphone wasn't working at first), cute faces, and a whole lot of pride in the production!<br />
We are so proud of Tyler though. He has been such a great kid at school. His teacher tells us how well behaved and kind he is there. We know he is a great kid, but you never know for sure what is happening when you are not there. <br />
Great job, Tyler - we are so proud of you!! Onto 1st grade!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5N137FNruPE/TooJWUfwGhI/AAAAAAAAA-c/CeRVcDMLrRg/s1600/DSC02242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5N137FNruPE/TooJWUfwGhI/AAAAAAAAA-c/CeRVcDMLrRg/s320/DSC02242.JPG" /></a></div><br />

It is at McKee's in Pocatello. It is a nursery/pet store. It is free and they do a great job of having it set up so that they kids really enjoy it. Grayce and Emma thought it was especially fun. Even though their personalities are often opposite of this, Emma was the one that wasn't afraid to feed the animals. Grandpa and Emma did a lot of feeding. <br />

Maggie wanted to keep feeding the animals, but she needed a little help and encouragement. <br />

<br />
There were swings too - of course the kids had a lot of fun on those. They probably wore Grandma and Grandpa out pushing them so much. <br />

The parents come and they do their dances by grade. It is fun to watch and they usually come up with some great choreography for the songs. <br />
This year, Tyler's class (kindergarten) did "The Chicken Dance."<br />

Tyler was outside in the backyard playing with Bryant and Ty (his best friend). They were playing baseball - which is their very most favorite thing to do. Then, it happened. Tyler was trying to score and decided that he probably couldn't make it home, so he turned around and raced back for 3rd base. On the way back, he got into a terrible fight with the stubs that were left of a dead bush right in the middle of his path. I think the bush won that fight. He came inside covered in blood and scared me to death. <br />
After briefly cleaning it off of him, it was apparent to me that stitches were probably necessary. So, I called Nick. He came home. Then, Tyler and I went to the doctor's office. The rest can be seen in the pictures! He was in a lot of pain and the doctor told us that we were very lucky that his eye was not damaged. Obviously, it wasn't just luck. If you look at the pictures, you can see that there isn't a good explanation for his eye being undamaged! Thank heaven for tender mercies and guardian angels!!<br />
He ended up with stitches and a very sore face.<br />

They are the Christofferson sheep at the corner down the street from our house.<br />
Diana and Kara and their families came to our house for a BBQ and to visit. The kids played forever in the back. However, after a while it was obvious that a little distraction was needed for kids and parents. So, for a reason I have yet to come up with, I decided to take them on a little walk to visit our sheepies.<br />
There were 9 kids. However, I will count Abby as a help to me, not one that I had to keep track of. We had a great time and the sheep were well fed!<br />

I came home from a meeting and found Nick sitting at his computer working and Emma and Grayce missing huge chunks of hair. After claiming complete ignorance to their mischeif, I calmly ;) assessed the damage. As I began sifting through their hair with my fingers, I kept pulling out chunks of hair. My breathing got shallower, and my heart starting beating faster. Soon, I got to the front of Grayce's hair. My discovery depleted every ounce of hope that we could just "cover this up." Right smack in the front of her forehead, cut down to the scalp, was a large, uneven area with missing hair. I was sick. Upon investigation, I discovered that the two of them had given each other a hair cut. Grayce too the scissors and cut pieces of Emma's hair and then Emma reciprocated and did the same to Grayce. Apparently, Emma thought the front of Grayce's hair was most appropriately cut. My choices were limited...either shave them both bald (which I seriously considered), or just leave it alone and let it grow out again. I decided on a mixture of the two. We went for our first visit to the salon!! Here are our results... (we also brought Abby along for a haircut too)<br />

The kids (the cousins) all get along so well. It was so much fun to have them with us overnight. <br />
We decided that we wanted to do something fun with them and have that be something that they could take with them afterward to remind them of our fun day!<br />
So, I went and bought some different colored t-shirts and used our fabric markers to let the kids go crazy. They each got a shirt that they could decorate/design however they wanted. Then, each cousin or sibling was allowed to sign a message (however short or long - and with pictures or words) to each other's shirts. <br />
They had a lot of fun and then they had a fun shirt to wear to bed that night!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ikPRCU6BTv4/ToYQef6rhQI/AAAAAAAAA6E/CT9Re4mLv0c/s1600/DSC02174.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="180" width="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ikPRCU6BTv4/ToYQef6rhQI/AAAAAAAAA6E/CT9Re4mLv0c/s320/DSC02174.JPG" /></a></div><br />

We raced in May. It was my first race of the summer. It was a 5K. It was so cool. There were thousands of people there. So many people had names of people that they were running for on their bibs (some still alive, some not). Some people had banners and signs telling the stories of their loved ones that they were racing for. It was so neat to be a part of something so big and for such a good cause. I ran together with some of my friends from Curves. This is a picture of us before the race. Only 3 of us ran, the others walked. But, we all had a great time!<br />
