| I know I've shared pictures of Jack hanging out upside down, but lately he's started playing with cars and trains upside down and even eating upside down. |
The Bigs had fun finding bugs and building bug-homes for them one day during Spring Break.
 |
| Camping out in the living room. There was a boy's dormitory and a girls'. |
 |
| One of my favorite Spring Break moments: Jack requesting that we watch "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." It's hard to say no to that... |
One afternoon we took the kids to Timpanogos Park and Canyon View
Park to just play and explore. They loved climbing on rocks, playing on the
playground, and hanging out by the Provo River.
 |
| Some of Eliza's treasures. She LOVES collecting rocks. |
 |
| Cat made some yummy mint lemonade using leaves from the mint plant on our windowsill. Mmmmmmmm. |
 |
| A fun night at the new Provo Rec Center. The indoor pool is great! |
 |
| I thought it was cute when Luke climbed into the doll bed. |

Especially considering this is he in the same bed, one year ago.
|
 |
| Tea Party With Liza |
 |
| Jack played the part of a puppy. But he was able to transform into a boy long enough to enjoy tea party food. |
 |
| Eliza loves to show off how well she balances, hops, jumps, and does other Big Girl things. |
 |
| Jack did his first Word Searches this month, and got the hang of them pretty quickly. |
 |
| Swingin' |
 |
| Sometimes Jack doesn't want to share with Luke. |
Oh how I love this girl.

| And this guy. |
 |
| Game Night! We played Twister and Guesstures, made all the more challenging and entertaining because of this little guy. |
 |
| Luke loves to color on the kitchen floor when he finds a pencil. Thank goodness it just wipes right off, because The Bigs tend to leave pencils on the floor a lot. |
 |
| Luke is a great audience! |
On a chilly evening in mid-April we planted a small Square Foot Garden
in our little back yard. It has a variety of plants in it. We'll see how they do!
 |
| Eliza made sure to wear the right shoes for the occasion. |
 |
| A few days later, Cat and Eliza helped me make markers for the garden. |
 |
  We borrowed this ladder so that Ben could replace the chimney and the kids had to try it out. Then when it came time to put the new chimney up, they got to take turns bringing him the materials he needed. |
 |
| The kids helped me make these posters after the October 2013 General Conference. We talked about the talks during FHEs over the next 6 months and added quotes and pictures to help us remember the things we learned. Now it's time to fill up the next set of posters. |
 |
| Jack finished all of the Kindergarten Take Home Readers (books that gradually increase in difficulty, which kids are supposed to read out loud three times each night) over a month before the end of school. It took some begging on my part to get his teacher to start sending 1st Grade books home with him, but once she did, he read them very well. I'm so proud of my little reader! |
 |
| Yes, that's snow. On April 28th. |
 |
| Must be time for Family Scripture Reading! |
