Avery is so proud of herself and her new bike. She saved up 1/2 the money to buy this bike. It’s the first time she’s followed through on setting a goal to save and actually saved her money to buy something. She saw this bike and immediately fell in love with it. I think she…

Sawyer and I spent the most the Valentine’s Day together. We hung out and did Valentine-y stuff all day, even after we picked Avery up. A fun “hearts and kisses day.”

Avery was very excited for this special day. Not sure what she expected was going to happen, but she did have a great day. Avery told me, “it was the best valentine’s day ever.” In the morning the kids got a little treat from Dan and I- they each got a box of See’s chocolates…

On Monday Sawyer celebrated a milestone- he is now 3 1/2 years old! It’s silly, but yes, we celebrate 1/2 birthdays. He knew his 1/2 birthday was coming up and he was excited. I think the best part for him was celebrating at school with his friends. He talked about singing the birthday song at…

This afternoon we took the kids to “Tinkering Zone” that is sponsored by The Discovery Center. It’s an interactive exhibit that will only be around till next week. I am so glad we decided to go today. It was way better than I expected and well worth the $20 for our family to go. Science…

We went to a friends house to decorate Valentine cookies. The kids had a fun time- lots of sprinkles!! They each decorated 2 cookies. Avery ate both of hers and Sawyer brought half of a heart home.

Avery tried out for the District Talent Show a few weeks ago. It was all her- she picked the song (Here Comes the Sun) and practiced on her own. I asked a friend to help her with the arrangement of the verses. She did a good job during the audition. She was confident, loud enough…

Sawyer found an orange spider ring the other day. He was very excited to put on the “halloween spider.” He then said to me, “take me to Halloween, mom, please.” I told hime I couldn’t take him to Halloween, it just happens during the year, like Valentine’s Day is coming up- we had just bought…

I have been reading “Little House in the Big Woods” to Avery. We are really enjoying it. I was telling her that the stories in the book are autobiographical, the stories are about Laura and written by Laura. She asked how she could remember the stories, there are so many. Laura kept a diary. That…

Sawyer got a new bike for Christmas. It’s a bike with no pedals, he uses his feet to make the bike go. It helps him with balance so it’s easy to transition to a bicycle- not training wheels. We didn’t take it to Boise so he got it on NYE Day. He asks to ride…
