My 5 Month Summary

February:
We had a lot of fun in February. We went snow skiing in Colorado with Chris's family. Parker skied for the first time and he loved it (that might be an understatement)! His favorite part was skiing through the trees. He was so crazy and really good.
We also had a couple of races this year. We were too busy to do very many, but we still had a ton of fun!
March:
The boys and I went to Utah with my mom to visit my sister, Stevie and her husband, Kyle. We had so much fun with them.
While we were there, Arizona played Duke in the March Madness.... and of course Arizona won. We had fun making posters to decorate their front room. Kyle wasn't very excited about Duke loosing.
We had to stop at the temple on the way out to take this picture.
April:
The boys had so much fun at their Father & Son's camping trip. This is one of the activities that they did - shave their dad. The other games they did - tug of war, root beer chugging and egg toss.
Jacob got second place in the science fair this year. He tested if alka seltzer would fizz faster in cold water or hot water. He had a lot of fun with this project and he did a great job!
Then it was Easter time. The boys always love coloring the eggs. Do you think we had enough eggs?
May:
Jacob turned 10 years old. I can not believe I am old enough to have a 10 year old. I have loved all 10 years of having Jacob in my life! He is so amazing!!!!
We had a movie night for his party and then we ended with a sleepover. I had 7 boys sleeping in my front room (did not include Parker and Cole). We had a blast. The morning came and of course with that many boys in a room, we had a massive pillow fight. Who do you think was in the middle of it all? Chris - the biggest kid of all.

Jacob also decided that he wanted to take part in 4-H this year. So, we got some pigs! Aren't they so cute? The little one is Bits and the big one is Links. They are much bigger now and so much fun to have. They love to have their bellies rubbed.
Along with everything else that is going on with use, I was called to be the Primary President in our ward. I really love being in the primary! I am so very thankful for the opportunity I have to learn from the amazing children in our ward.
June:
This month ended the baseball season! I really love watching the boys play baseball. Jacob and Riley were on the same team this year (so much better).
Riley loves to play catcher.
Jacob really likes to play 3rd base.
Both Jacob and Riley also got to pitch. I think that Riley liked it a little more than Jacob did. They both had a great season.
Cole really wants to play baseball. He runs into the dugout and puts on a helmet whenever he has a chance.
