My little fish!

Logan finished up his swim lessons about a week ago, and his teacher told me that "Logan can Swim"!  Logan still wore a life jacket because he wasn't very confident yet.  One day he couldn't find his life jacket, so Vance to him to jump in and see what happens.  He knew his Dad would be there to help him if he needed it, so he jumped in.  He has been doing great ever since.  Logan is a great swimmer!  Clark loves to swim too, but we make sure that he has his life jacket on! 

Nevada Moves Day

It was a beautiful day today, and Brady was excited to walk to school today, so we did!  Today was Nevada Moves Day where we were supposed to walk to school.  We walked more often last year because we only had one car.  This was our motivation to walk to school today.  It's fun to walk to school when it's a nice day out!

My Soccer Studs

Today Mom and Dad came over to spend time with us.  They watched Clark, while I took Logan to Pre-School.  They also helped me clean my house.  They are so helpful, and I appreciate all they do for me and my family.  This afternoon Logan had his soccer pictures, and the photographer said that she would take group pictures of siblings if we wanted any.  I love this picture!  Clark watches his big brothers, and he does what they do.  He loves to play soccer too!

Visiting with Family

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

After I dropped Brady off at school, we came over to Nani's house to spend time with the cousins.  Lynleigh, Cameron, and Avry came today.  Whitney and Madeline drove to St. George to meet Chip for dinner at his conference, so Abby and Quinn slept over at our house.  After Brady's soccer practice, we picked up the rest of the kids, and brought them to our house.  Brady, Logan, Abby, and Quinn slept in the same room.  Clark slept in his crib.  They did great, and they loved it.

I watched two boys(Coleman and Brayden) in the morning.  I dropped Brady and Coleman off at school about 8:40am.  Then another mother picked Brayden up around 9:45am to take him to Pre-School.  We went to Logan's Swim Lesson at 10:00am.  Abby and Quinn came with us.  Then we went to Taco Bell for Lunch, and then we took Logan to Pre-School at 12:00pm.  We finally made it to Nani's house around 12:20pm.  Whitney made it back from St. George, UT around 3:30pm.  The kids had fun playing!  That night we celebrated Madeline and Avry's one-year birthday.  After the celebration, Whitney packed up the kids and drove back to St. George, UT to meet Chip.  They decided to break up the trip, so they drove the rest of the way home on Friday.

After I dropped Brady off at school, we headed over to Nani's to hang out with Lynleigh, Cameron, and Avry.  We took the kids to the park, they played the Wii, and we went swimming.  Logan and Cameron loved playing together.  They were good buddies.

Saturday, April 14, 2012

Lynleigh, Cameron, and Avry made plans to hang out with her friend Aubrey today, but they came to Brady's soccer game.  (Of course, I forgot to get pictures of them there.)  Brady liked having them there!

Lynleigh's 30th Birthday is on the 20th of this month, so we decided to have her birthday dinner and cake today.  It was fun to see them!

Monday, April 16, 2012

Today we went swimming with Lynleigh, Cameron, Avry, and her friend Aubrey's family.  Then we had dinner and Family Home Evening.  Nani taught the lesson, and she did a good job with letting the kids help.  Then we had otter pops for the treat.  We had a good visit with Lynleigh, Cameron, and Avry.  Jason had to finish up work before he came down.  Jason's sister was getting married on Friday, so he was flying in on Wednesday.  Cameron borrowed Logan's old church outfit for the wedding.  He was going to be the Ring Bearer.  They spent the rest of the time with Jason's family. 







Plant Observation

For Brady's homework assignment tonight, he had to pick a plant in the back yard, draw a picture, and write a description of the plant.  He chose the Rose Bush.  He was very excited about this assignment.  He wrote: "I observed a rose bush.  They have oval leaves and they have little leaves and big leaves."

New Outfits

The boys got these outfits for Easter.  It is fun to get new clothes.  It is hard to take pictures of three wiggley boys.  Today was back to school for Brady, and that meant back to normal routines of school, homework, soccer practices, and early bed.  We tried to make things as normal as possible, but Whitney and the kids were still in town.  The boys love spending time with their cousins.  It was a fun day!

Easter Weekend

Saturday, April 7, 2012

We went to Ethel M Chocolates to see the Easter Bunny, get balloon swords and Abby got a balloon flower, and then we got a free chocolate to try.  We had a good time.  Then we went to the park, and swam in the pool.  It was fun to hang out with the Dawson's.

Sunday, April 8, 2012--EASTER
 

We had a good Easter!  We have 9:00am Church, so we got the kids ready before we went down stairs to see what the Easter Bunny brought.  The kids were excited about the kite, play dough, and candy the most.  Clark especially liked the suckers.  They also got a shorts outfit.  Then we went to church, and had a good meeting.  Then we went over to Nani and Grandpa Skidmore's for an Easter Egg Hunt followed by dinner.  We had a great time!

Spring Break

We went to Utah for Spring Break.  After the boys' games on Saturday, March 31, 2012, we drove to Becky's house in Orem, Utah.  We got there pretty late.  Brett, Kristi-Lynn, Sadie, and Colton were there, and Angie, Darin, Gavin, Ellie, and Greyson were also there.  It was fun to see everyone.  Sunday, April 1st, we watched Conference.  Brett, Kristi-Lynn, Angie, and Becky went to the afternoon session at the Conference Center. 

Monday, April 2, 2012

This morning The Bishop Family headed back to Boise.  We played a fun game of Disney Headbanz.  Then we went to Kangaroo Zoo in the afternoon.  It had big slides.  The kids loved it.  Even Clark tried and loved the BIG slides.  He is a climber!

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

Becky teaches Breann's Pre-school on Tuesday and Thursday morning.  The kids were so good, and Becky did a good job.  Even Clark was into it.  He sat so still and listened.  I couldn't believe it!  Then we went to the Fire Station, and Ben gave us the tour.  The kids loved getting in the Fire Truck, and trying on Ben's Fireman's clothes.

Then we went to Aunt Janelle's House in Bountiful, UT for dinner.  She made Hawaiian Hay Stacks, and we had ice cream cones for dessert.  Brett set up this visit with Janelle, Durrell, Bill, Bart (Kim's husband), Kade, Kallie, Jane, Amy, Tate, Piper, Roman, Mike, Ashley, Makell, and Aiden.  It was fun to see everyone!

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

We left Becky's this morning, and headed up to Farmington, UT to see my Grandpa Gibson.  We had a good visit, and he still seems strong as ever.

Then we continued north to Logan, UT where we met up with Grandma Skidmore and Tutu and Papasan for lunch.  Then we went to feed the ducks.  We stayed the night at Tutu and Papasan's House.  We had a good visit!  It was fun to see them!

Thursday, April 5, 2012

We packed up after breakfast, and stopped by Grandma Skidmore's house to visit a little bit on our way out of town.  Then we went to IKEA, and then met up with Chip and Whitney  to Caravan to Las Vegas.  Chip drove his company car down to St. George, UT because he had a conference there the following week.  About an hour into the trip, Madeline was being fussy, so I ended up driving their van so that Whitney could take care of the kids.  After Chip dropped off the company car in St. George, UT, he drove his van the rest of the way to Las Vegas.  We finally made it home!  It was a fun trip!
