School's Out!

Abi is officially done with Kindergarten. She has really loved school and her teacher. She is especially going to miss seeing her friends every day. Her class put on a program for the last day of school. She played Goldilocks in a little skit and sang "Tiny Tim" all on her own. She has done very well this year and we are so proud of all of her accomplishments. In eight short weeks Abi will get to eat lunch and enjoy three recesses at school as a first grader. She can't wait!!

Little Man at Work

Porter is all boy! He loves to work outside with his Dad. Most of you know about his total obsession with the lawn mower. A few weeks ago the "lawn mow" broke. The wheel fell off and Jesse had to finish the back yard with three wheels. This was disturbing to Porter. Jesse told him that they would fix it together. For the next week he constantly reminded us that the lawn mower needed to be fixed. Porter and Jesse took a special trip to Home Depot to buy a new wheel. When they got home, Porter about had a heart attack when Jesse threw the old one away. To top it off he then discovered he had to wait until the morning to fix it. They went out bright and early the next morning and replaced the wheel. It was very serious business for Porter. He just loves his dads tools and can name most of them right down to the air compressor that we pass daily on our way to get in the car. He has also started to enjoy his Dads new calling and being around the young men in the ward. He helps set up chairs on Sunday morning and takes it very seriously. Just tonight Jesse was having a YM activity here at our house. They had gotten out some of our folding chairs in the process. Porter was having trouble not being in the middle of all the action and I had to keep chasing him down to keep him down stairs. I got busy and lost him. When I went upstairs to retrieve him I found that he had decided he should fold up all the chairs and stack them against the wall. I wouldn't believe he could do this if I hadn't seen it myself. We just love him to death.

Good Eats!

We were watching a cooking show on PBS the other day where they made Tortellini from scratch and I have had a hankering to try it ever since. We have all the necessary tools, thanks to Bert and Adreanne's generous gift of a pasta roller, so Jesse and I gave it a go last night. The pasta dough turned out better than it ever has before and it was a lot of fun to figure out how to make them look edible. It took a lot of time but in the end it was well worth it. Jesse couldn't stop ranting and raving about how good they were. The kids even gobbled it up. Luckily we had enough that we could freeze some and we can have another delicious meal out of our hard work. I thought I would include some mouth watering pictures. I wish you all could have tasted it with us.

Little Stars!

Tiny Dancers

Abi and Anna recently had their first dance recital with Shellie's School of Dance. After nine months of instruction and practice they both did a great job. We were very impressed with this dance school and would recommend it to anyone. The girls actually learned something and remembered their dance when it was time to preform. I was also impressed with how modest all of the costumes were. There was not a single bare midriff in the concert, even among the high school dancers. They got to wear stage makeup and get all beautiful for the recital. After Abi was all ready she looked in the mirror and said with a giant smile on her face "I look like a teenager." The bright red lipstick was the highlight for Anna. She still asks to wear lipstick almost daily.
