Kaleidoscope

We went to Crown Center while in Kansas City last week.  We took a trip to Kaleidoscope.  It was (and still is) one of the kids favorite activities there.

A Blast From the Past

I found this while looking for some pictures Lea needed for her scrapbook.  Isn't she cute!  I forgot how much she liked to hula hoop.  She had just turned 4 in this video.

Grandpa Arol

We had a fun visit with Grandpa Arol, Uncle Gaylen and Aunt Teresa.  Of course I didn't take any pictures.    James had a great time playing pirates with Uncle Gaylen and I enjoyed our country drive with Mom M and Teresa and even survived the Amish Auction.  James  loved all the horses and buggies.  Mom took some pictures on Saturday before they went home and I'll post them when I get them.

Show Chior

Emma in her show choir concert last week.  This week they went to contest and received a 1 rating for both show choir and concert choir.  :)

Spring Break

James in the rocks at Grandma's.  Their "rock box" is a big hit.

Haley and Clara mowing the lawn.

We had a fun week with the Spriggs and Grandma and Grandpa.  I only have a couple of pictures.  The kids enjoyed playing together outside when the weather was nice enough and swimming inside when it wasn't.

Conference Hunt

We put little pieces of paper with things we learned in conference in the eggs and had a hunt after conference.  Here's a few pictures.

The Book of Mormon

We made a family goal to read the Book of Mormon individually this year.  Lea had been asking for a while if she could read the real Book of Mormon instead of the reader.  I have read it with her at night.  Sometimes I just read, some times she reads.  I have wondered a few times if she was understanding what we were reading.   Sometimes I explain when I read to her.  This morning she was reading herself and said, "Do we have a movie about where Ammon goes to find the people of Zeniff?  I would like to watch it if we do."  I guess that answers my question.
