Race for Reading

Hey, I've got a great idea! Let's all register for the Race for Reading 5K & Family Fun Run!!

It is Saturday, June 9th in Saratoga Springs & all the money raised goes to the Saratoga Springs Literacy Center! The Center provides tutoring free of charge

You can find more information at saratogasprings5k.blogspot.com.

Even more amazing- have your company help sponsor the race!!

Let me know if you have questions!

Crazy hair day...

Aubrey knew exactly what she wanted to do as soon as they announced Crazy Hair Day at school. The tops each have a sippie cup in them. The bottom pony tails have pipe cleaners, secured with multiple elastics along the way. Her hair is so thick that the pipe cleaners were losing the battle against gravity. Next time we will try something stronger.

Jenna had me straighten the sides of her hair & left the top curly. She had a change of heart afterwards & didn't love it. She declined the photo op, but she looked cute. An awesome faux hawk!!

Kansas City, MO- temple open house

This is the new LDS temple in Kansas City, MO. If you are in the area, please take the free tour!  It is open to the public until Satuday, April 21st. The link below have more information. Temples are so important to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! In the temple, we make sacred covenants with our Heavenly Father and receive great blessings, including the opportunity to be sealed (married) for time and all eternity, not just until death. We believe that the family is eternal when sealed in the temple!

Go take a look. I'd love to hear what you think!

Attempted Easter pictures... aka scrambled eggs

Eliza spilled Orange Julius on her new shirt before we ever made it out of the house.
It was in the dryer following a hand-washing when this picture was taken.

Lydia smiled for a minute

Jenna was cooperating!

The rest of the pictures were a wrestling match. At least one kid is grimacing or escaping in each one.
