Trent's Raingutter Race

Trenton just had his official Raingutter Regatta this week. He made a cool pirate boat that won the "Black Pearl" award. Here are a few pictures of Trent in captaining action and in the painting phase. We also included a picture of supportive Mitch. Trenton was awarded his Bear and a gold arrow. Go Trent!

Mitchell is ready for Summer


Mitchell has been in a speech class called Talking Time this year. On the last session day, they had a pirate party. Mitch was in heaven.


Mitch and Mom had a picnic at a new park by our house. It was one of the last days before Trent and Aubrey were out of school so we had to enjoy the moment!

Aubrey's Achievements


Aubrey has done really well in school this year. She was picked to speak to the school board abour her experiences in choir. It was a neat experience. She got a special award and shook all the school board member's hands. We were really proud of her.












Aubrey also did a great job in the choir concert. She had a special solo part and sang it perfect. Everyone was congratulating her and giving her high fives. It is nice that at least one of us can carry a tune.





Just when you thought we had forgotten....

I have been given much grief from various sources concerning my poor blogging habits. I did warn all of you about my laziness. Here are a couple of things we have done over the past few months.


Zion's








We went to St. George this past weekend with Bret and his family. We had a swell time. The kids really enjoyed Zion's and the hike to Emerald Falls.


Hogle Zoo


During spring break we went to the Hogle Zoo. Of course, it was freezing and rainy, but we had a good time. We made it on the last train ride of the day before it closed due to rain (Good thing because Mitch would have been really upset). Zack Shattuck went with us. They liked all of the animals, but the white alligator had to be the boys' favorite. They went to see the "Ghost of the Bayou" several times.
