Before we said good-bye to winter, we headed down to the local sledding hill for some fun.
|
|
|
|
We went sledding at the local sled park. This ramp is the fastest one, which I didn't want to
go on even though it wasn't all that fast. Mia comes down first and then Naomi and Miles.
|
|
|
|
Our local park had a tiny bit of snow left, but not really enough left to sled on.
|

|
Spring brought us three new puppies. Teddy, the mom, had four, but one was still-born.
|
|
|
|
This is one of the puppies a month later.
|
|
|
|
Amelie got a couple of new baby rats. Rats make wonderful pets, they're very affectionate and curious.
|
|
|
|
Mia did a makeover, she's 12 years old.
|
|
|
|
Miles is looking good at 7 years old. Such hair!
|
|
|
|
Miles loves doing bubble baths and using bath bombs. He keeps a stash in his room.

Amelie and Mia went to Cunningham Ranch with their classmates, it's a working cattle ranch. It was a lot
of fun, and they let the kids try their hand at roping a post, and it's a lot harder than it looks. I also tried
it and never made it once. The funny thing is, the post isn't even moving, so who knows how cowboys
do it with moving calfs.
|
|
|
|
The owners of the ranch had three kids that were really adorable. Their boy is a mini-cowboy.
|
|
|
|
The ranch had all kinds of different animals. These are new-born pigs.
|
|
|
|
They have some baby goats, as well.
|
|
|
|
On the way back from the ranch, we stopped at Idaho's biggest waterfall.
|
|
|
|
It was pretty cool seeing it, it was pretty big.

Easter was so much fun. The neighborhood did an easter egg hunt, and Amelie brought her
bunny out on a harness.
|
|
|
|
Amelie turned 15 this year! That's so crazy, to think how far we've come with all the kids.
|
|
|
|
The kids blew up a bunch of balloons and drew pictures on each one.
|
|
|
|
Naomi signed up to sell Cutco knives (some of you may remember getting a text from her), because she wanted
to get sales experience, but she wasn't serious about selling the knives for money.
|

|
In Idaho, you can get your drivers license at 15 years old, so Amelie started doing driver training. Let me tell you,
there is nothing more terrifying that driver training your 15-year old.

My dad ordered this cool piano cake for my 50th birthday. I've been taking piano lessons for
a few years now, and I really enjoy it. I'm still pretty bad though, I wish I had gotten a start as a kid on piano.
|
|
|
|
At the end of the school year, the kids went to a local lake to play around for a day.
|
|
|
|
It's cold, but it's worth it! Until next time, enjoy the sunshine!
