Butterfly garden, wolf walk and friends

The girls had a fund-raiser Wolf Walk on Thursday. They had to walk and run for 30 minutes and see how many laps they could walk. It was alot of fun and about 75 degrees. I handed out water.
I went with Emily's kindergarten class to the zoo on Friday. They had the butterfly garden open. It was like walking in a big tent....butterflies were everywhere. They landed on our heads and shirts. I caught a picture of one on Emily's tummy!
It was magical.
I took the girls to the West High School Musical of Disney's beauty and the beast last night. We had a blast. It was so well done. The Beast was scary and Lumiere was our favorite. They were selling chips and gatorade in the consessions....at a $1 each. The girls went to their dress up box to find coordinating shoes and handbags. They looked gorgeous.
Gene is at camp Buck Toms today coordinating scout camp this year. Several stakes are all going to go for the first time and have an all LDS scout camp. He's also teaching at the leadership session of STk. Conference. So, we'll see him tomorrow.
Hope you all are well. Yesterday was our first day of having to use the A/C...it's getting warm fast.
We hope Marisa is feeling better. We send all our healing wishes your way.
Take care all!

It was like Halloween again. We went to a Spring Carnival and the kids got to play games and bounce on big inflatables. Free hotdogs, popcorn, cotton candy,etc. it was a crazy day. The girls got their faces painted.
Jacob learned how to swing all by himself. Emily taught him how...Tara figured out how to blow bubbles with bubblegum. It was a fun week of discovery.
This week is the school fundraiser, wolf walk and Emily's class field trip to the Zoo. I can't believe schools almost out. Amazing how time flies. We are all healthy and well. This is short, but all is good. Hope you are too.

It was a fun week. Tara and I went on her school field trip to "Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" play/musical. It was alot of fun and I was happy to meet all of her class finally and be able to put names with faces. In second grade, the teachers don't ask for alot of parent help in the class.
This picture is of Tara and her friend Bailey in the auditorium waiting for the performance to begin. I think the best part for me was riding in a school bus. One thing I have not done since 8th grade.
We rented "Alvin and the chipmunks". The kids watched it at least 10 times in the five days we rented it. We found Alvin at the hollywood rental place and I just happened to have my camera with me.
Jonathan and Kristi came to visit. They made it in late on Saturday night. Gene left for Chicago at 5:30am. We all slept in, had breakfast, watched "Little Mermaid", played 'spoons', watched conference, had lunch, went to the park (well, I took the kids), repacked the car, watched Alvin again, had dinner and icecream and went to bed. Jonathan and Kristi were gone by 6:30 the next morning. It was a whirlwind trip but we were happy to meet our new aunt and sister-in-law. What a fun surprise it was. We are back to school now, I helped with Emily's class today. She has a sub because her teacher went to the final four in San Antonio. It was 72 today so I let the kids put on their bathing suits and play in the sprinkler I got a "your'e the best mom" from all of them today. I have to make a note of these days because they don't happen all the time.
Jacob had no time outs in preschool today and Emily cut a chunk of her hair in school with her safety scissors because she was too hot (they can't turn the heat off until May)Yikes. Anyway, we made it through the day and everyone is sleeping now.Thank goodness for tomorrows.
