Last week we were busy with the kids on Spring Break we thought we're share some new things:

Bruce has discovered hamburgersand loves them!
James has a new tooth:Kate took up a new instrument with her friends:
Jane loves to swing and that's usually where we find her at all hours of the dayJames tried swinging too: We have new parakeet named Lucy (also)
the special thing about her is that she has 1 foot, but it doesn't slow her down:and one more of James:

We also celebrated Earth day by picking up trash at a park, making cookies, and coloring pictures:

Happy 6 Months!

We had a beautiful weekend. On Friday Bruce finished soccer and got this:

Friday night was spent with fun girls and staying up too late.
On Saturday we went here:

(I was looking in my scriptures and it has a picture of the press in it and I thought it was fun that we were just there.)

~ it was so peaceful and perfect.At dinner last night Bruce pulled this out of his pocket and gave it to me. He said he forgot to give it to me earlier and he was sorry it was "all squished." I love it.

Jane has lost 2 front teeth so if you see any let her know :)

Kate always falls asleep while B reads books at night- it's cute.
