Man Labor

Chandler has some mad computer skills. He had an assignment for Pi day and made a movie out of leggos. He had so much fun with that project that he made this movie too.

By the way, Chandler is willing to hire out his computer skills as well as his "well honed muscles" (his words, not mine). He is a good day laborer and he is cute too!

Chandler is available every day after school.

Call or email if you have any questions.

Andria is Eight

For Andria's birthday last month, she wanted to go to Build-A-Bear. So we went together and chose a new friend. Andria has a great imagination and she had so much fun dressing her new bunny, Ally.

Then for dessert we had brownies and home made ice cream, Yum!

March 28, 2009 was Andria's baptism day. Her cousin Mitchell was baptized in our stake at the same time so we had a lot of family come to the baptism that day.

Andria was baptized in the dress that her Grandma Proffitt made for me when I was baptized. I love that we can share this link together. I also love that the dress is still beautiful and will last for generations to come. Isn't it so cute?

I had high hopes of obtaining a new family picture, but alas, this was the best we could do.

Grandma Evans came for the week to celebrate with us. She is so fun to have stay with us and she is willing to read books to the girls for hours.

Andria is an excellent tumbler and seldom sits still. She loves to do round-off-back-hand-springs where ever we are. She also loves to read and still enjoys pictures books along with longer chapter books. Her teachers love her because she is always on task and eager to do whatever is asked. Andria has a great imagination and enjoys playing with ponies, pollys or animals of any kind. She also likes all kinds of real animals, even bugs. We love you Andria and are so proud of you!

Main Squeeze

Our good friends gave us some oranges off their trees (thanks Melzer's!). Actually, it was a lot of oranges. So we borrowed a juicer (thanks Denton's) and my little helpers got to work and squeezed about 3 gallons of O.J. Sweet!

Lets Go Fly a Kite

We had a very windy day a while ago. Chandler decided to take the girls to fly a kite. Here he is with Samantha Karissa (our neighbor)

Karissa's kite

It was so fun!

Catch up

Ok, so we haven't posted in a while. Here's the short version. Chandler got asked to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Diane brought him some balloons and some cheesecake which she had made herself (it was delicious). In some of the balloons were puzzle pieces that we had to piece together but it didn't say who the invitation was from. Then as we were eating the cheesecake (I'll never tell who ate most of it), there was a message inside it which let Chandler know who the invitation was from. Then Chandler answered her by having his mom make some delicious cupcakes with frosting waves.

Oh, and swimming fish.

Their group went to a rodeo for their day date. Chandler certainly looked the part. Ride 'em cowboy!

Then, that night, they were running late for dinner and Dan and I had left for stake conference. So we told Hanna to not let them leave without a picture. So Chandler ran out the door when Diane got there but Hanna managed to get one picture.

Last weekend we planted a garden. We were too late to plant seeds so we planted plants. Don't be jealous, we have no idea what we are doing.

Hanna found a recipe for this jello and thought it would be fun, and it was.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Those of you who know me know that I am so festive, ha ha. We couldn't have St. Patrick's Day without green eggs and biscuits with green gravy, yum! Everyone thought it was kind of weird, no wonder we usually ignore holidays.

Andria refused to touch any of it and instead had leftover pasta. At least her bowl and cup were green.

Helping Hanna =)

Hanna is trying to earn money this week (Spring Break) to help pay for girls camp and EFY. She is an excellent helper and has already cleaned everything we are able to pay her for at our house. She is willing to:

clean out the fridge
scrub bathrooms
mop floors
organize closets, shelves or rooms
dust
fold laundry
entertain children
fix dinner
or almost anything else you can think of.
Please call if you have some work for her and she will run right over :)

PS Hanna is a genius at getting children to participate in the cleaning.

Preschool Zoo Day

On Monday, Zanya and I went to the zoo with Samantha's preschool. We had such a great time! Miss Peggy teaches the kids all about the animals before we go so that the kids can teach the parents while we are there. The day was perfect with nice weather and active animals. It was a perfect zoo day! Here the kids are singing "Zola the Zebra" after we ate lunch.
