Caught a monarch butterfly. Note his scar above the eye. He threw a rock at school and it broke and a piece came back and hit him in the head. He is his mother's son.
Swam in the freezing, nasty pond at Edgewood with the fish and ducks
Caught a giant frog in St. George
Now he is too busy playing football to be bothered with critters
Dave and I took Brig to NYC for a 12 year old celebration. We had a great time. We stayed at Dave's aunt's amazing pent house on Park Avenue blocks from Central Park. We became subway experts as we explored the city. We took the Statten Island ferry for a view of the Statue of Liberty, enjoyed a great afternoon at a Yankees game, ate pasta in Little Italy, saw Newsies on broadway and visited ground zero. It was so fun to have some one on one time with Brig, he is such an amazing person.
My Beautiful Olivia Kate! Starting second grade this year. She lost two teeth in one day, that has to be a record. I am going to miss her when she goes back to school Tuesday. She is so much fun to have around.
Another Spring Break Adventure-Ears Pierced at Claires! Olivia had hers pierced over President's Day weekend in St. George but one ear grew back. So.. . we went back with Claire and did it again.
Our family visited the amazing city creek and got to meet the even more AMAZING Stephanie Nielson and her husband and have our book signed. We were so inspired by her bright, loving words in person and in her book. It is a must read!
