I don’t know why I can never find time to sit down and record all the funny things that happen, or that my kids say. I guess I’ll blame it on the laundry since I seem to always be doing it. Nonetheless, here is a quick synopsis of the last month:
Spring Break: We mostly stayed home and played with our cousins from Oregon, and then we went to Winnemucca to see our other cousin get baptized. Birdie loves her Uncle H. She was happy to help make the punch for lunch!
Bogey has been working so hard in physical and speech therapies. He has finally mastered the art of pedaling. He loves, LOVES his therapists so much. It is a highlight of his week to work with them; it makes taking him so easy for me.
Double Bogey and his cousin look and act so much alike, it seems that they should have been the twins…they got along so well. I know I’ve said this before, but I’m going to say it again. I love that my children have cousins for best friends.
When I found out I was pregnant with my first son, I panicked a little because I realized I would have to deal with scouting. Then I decided I shouldn’t worry, because certainly by the time he reached that age, the world would have ended.
Nope.
Here we are. Mulligan’s first Pinewood Derby. 
He loved racing his “sports” car, and he can hardly wait for next year.
We cashed in on our street’s Easter egg hunt. Yep. All those kids live within a few houses of each other. I LOVE IT! They all play so well together too. Such a bonus.
My two little boys have graduated from the “terrible twos” into the “threatening threes”—you know where you make empty threats, and count to three? Yeah, we’re at that stage. I’m a little rusty on threats—I can’t ever come up with good enough ones that actually make those boys fear. I’m working on it though.
We try to make LDS General conference a big deal in our family. We want our kids to look forward to hearing the words of the living prophet. This time, I sent them on a treasure hunt. Each clue led them to an activity that they could do while listening to the matching apostle’s talk. So for instance, the bag of play dough had Elder Bednar's picture on it. So when Elder Bednar spoke, they played with play dough.
For my reference, I’m posting the clues.
Again that time of year is here--
