Maren is back!

After missing two weeks of school, Maren is back. Just for half a day though! She has been a sick little girl. We have been to the doctor twice, with no insurance mind you! Her pediatrician is the best. We have used the same Dr. since I moved to Utah when Kels was three years old. We do have to drive downtown, but it is worth it, since we usually stop and get some Banbury Cross donuts. Yum! Yesterday, I had made the kids lunches and had left some of the stuff out. Maren came to me and asked if she could have some of that chocolate yogurt. I was like what, we don't have chocolate yogurt. Then I remembered that I had given the kids some pudding in their lunches. Hee, hee!

Movie Night!

Josh and I went to the movies last night! You might not think this out of the ordinary, but Josh and I only get to the movies about two or three times a year. When I do go, I want it to be a very good movie. Last year we saw three very good movies, Tangled (my favorite, which comes out next week to DVD), Harry Potter, and True Grit (loved).

Last night we went to see Unkown, which was entertaining, but about halfway through a little Bourne Identity like. I figured out that he was a little James Bourne like, but definitely not Matt Damon, although I really like Liam Neeson.

I did like how it all took place in Russia! But I think I really would have rather gone and seen The Adjustment Bureau!

Purple!

Jonas was able to get his purple belt on Saturday afternoon! He did such a great job. I do have video footage, but my computer is having problems downloading it.

This is Jonas' sensei, Mr. Hatch, he is the cutest kid! If only he was lds, I could set him up with one of the nieces.
Jonas on his way out to show all of his masterful, orange belt moves.

This is the point where he will start sparring! Don't know how I feel about that, but he seems to think it is great fun!

Scouts and Art! (Please ignore the black dot, you will be seeing it in all of my photos till I get a new camera)

For one of Jonas' scouting projects, he had to attend an art show! We have several artists in the family, and one just happened to have a display down at BYU. Thanks for keeping the place open for us Noah!

Noah is so creative! I love all the things that he uses. The kids were very entertained by rocks and Slinky's.

Esme needed specific instructions on how this display worked. Wished I had gotten the entire thing!

This was very cool blown glass that had a color theme!

This was my favorite (with Noah looking very thin).

Becky arrived a little late, so no photo!
Noah, you are amazing! It was a fantastic display! Perfect place to take kids to see art.
They took us over to the Art building and we got see a few more things, wish I had gotten pictures of it, very neat!
We then headed over to the Creamery, yum. We also did a little sight seeing (if you call showing my kids where I lived down there with my sisters and roommates).

This was a week earlier. Try and guess what Lily and Hannah are doing before you look at the rest of the pics.

Here Leah is doing it!

Here are all the aunties and nieces playing I Had a Little Doggy. At my house you have to chase the person all the way around the kitchen and back. The little girls loved it.

It was a great thing to watch these girls that I love chase each other around my house. Notice the dresses from auntie Bridge!

On another note, swim season is over! Sigh! I loved watching Kelsie race for four years. Nothing better than watching your kid do something and be successful at it! She was one of the top 50 breaststroker's in the start of Utah 5A schools. The last swim meet she was in, she swam the 500 meter freestyle and did it faster than the girl that usually swims it! Very impressive! I will miss it! On to softball with Hannah!
