Green food

It has bocome a tradition at our house to eat green food on St Patricks day. This year we had green apple juice, broccolli, pesto with noodles, pears and green great harvest bread. We finished it off with green shamrock cookies. YUMMY! For the rest of the week our kids told me frequently how much they like eating green food. Micheala was waving to Sadie to come sit on her lap, well Spencer thought she was talking to him so he had a seat. Micheala was really cute and just let him sit there. She's a good cousin.

Grandma Lael love to read stories to the kids. They seem to enjoy it too. When we have have family dinner at Grandma's house she always reads the kids a story before we go home.

Another smart cookie

Mark had SEP conferences last week. He's a pretty smart little guy. At school he gets to do Maonster Math. It's a group of kids who are advanced in Math and get to do extra work to keep them c hallenged. He's also a great reader. He has been asking most every night if he can have a turn to read the scriptures to the family and today after school he got home and almost immediatley picked up his book that he's been reading because he wanted to finish it. We are very proud of our little guy!

Happy Birthday Tommy!

Well, Tommy is now 6! It's always amazing to me how quickly time flies! They grow up way too fast. Tommy loves life. He loves to learn. I think he may end up writting someday. He just has a great love for words. He currently is reading on an end of first grade level and they have started giving him spelling tests so that his spelling can keep up with his reading. He's one smart cookie!
He loved his rainbow cake on his birthday. He thought it was so fun that the cake was colored. For those of you who do like food coloring this would not be the cake for you... but it still tasted good!
