Babymoon's New Name

After much thought and consideration....Babymoon is now Chaos! We found that to be more fitting than Houdini. Even though he is very much a Houdini, Chaos seems to describe him a lot more!!!

Babymoon Needs a New Name!

Now that Babymoon is almost three, I think it's time we change his name. Those of you who know him pretty well, I want your opinions! Lately, I've been thinking of naming him Houdini, just because he is getting into everything...even things we thought he couldn't! So, start brainstorming and leave your ideas in the comments!

Washington DC Trip

We took the boys on a quick trip to Washington DC for Spring Break. Sadly, it was rainy and gloomy, but we still had a great time!

It was so packed in the Lincoln Memorial because the minute we got inside...it started to pour!!! We waited patiently for it to stop before we ventured out. It only lasted a few minutes.

Babymoon just loves Jesus!!

We ate at an Italian restaurant where you could draw on the table. Here's some of the boys' artwork.

While walking around, we spotted this sign posted. We are guessing it was an April Fool's Day prank!

Wally's Last High School Play

Wally just completed his last high school play. I am truly saddened, but I am so proud of what he has accomplished during his high school years. He will be doing one more performance for his theatre class, but this was his last official high school play.

They performed '12 Angry Men.' He was Juror Number 10 and did a fabulous job!!!

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter! A beautiful sacrament meeting at church, lunch at Grandma and Grandpa's, a visit from Oma and Opa, and our own family togetherness.

I am so grateful for our Savior, who gave his life so that we might have ours. Easter is the perfect time to remember His sacrifice and resurrection!

Hope you all had a fabulous Easter!!!

Just got word last night that Wally was accepted into Brigham Young University-Provo!! I am so excited for him, but at the same time...WE CAN'T BE THAT OLD!!!

Seems like yesterday Wally was just a little boy:

"I'm going at the store!" - as he rides his little tricycle around.

"This is what you call butterfinger!" - as he sticks his fingers in the butter.

"Fridg-a-frater" - his name for the refrigerator

"Did you know God has a T-shirt?" he asks Grandpa.

"No, what does it say?" Grandpa replies.

"Nobody knows..." said very mysteriously.

WE LOVE YOU AND ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

I guess running a household of 7 keeps me busier than I ever thought! I can't believe I haven't posted anything since October! I wonder why...(Farmville)...whatever could keep me from posting about my amazing family...(Farmville)...I really need to get rid of those activities keeping me from sharing our wonderful lives....(Farmville).

Guess I'll do a brief update of all our happenings!

Let's start with Wally! Who is that? We hardly ever see Wally anymore. If he isn't at school, he's rehearsing for some kind of play or musical! Currently, he is a senior in high school planning to go BYU-Provo, Utah. He is eagerly waiting to hear whether he was accepted or not. BYU-Idaho already accepted him, but he really wants to go to Provo. While he's waiting, he is performing as Benny in 'Guys and Dolls' at a community theatre sort of nearby! Before that, he played Bob Cratchit in 'A Christmas Carol' at his high school. Busy, busy, Wally!!!

Pokemon King has been working hard in homeschool. We are trying to improve his writing skills and he is doing a great job! Like Wally, he volunteers at COSI, a local science museum. It's a great experience for him! He's also looking forward to playing soccer in the spring.

Dinodude is as active as ever! He played football in the fall and still plays his own football games in the bonus room! We love to watch him! He, too is going to play soccer in the spring, but I'm sure it will be back to football in the fall.

Rocket has amazed us with his musical talent. I started him on piano lessons this school year and he is flying by! He moves forward in the book on his own before he has even passed off the songs and does quite well on them!

Babymoon loves to do his school, too. And the boy loves to dance!! We put the movie 'Cars' on for him and we are constantly backing it up so he can dance to the opening song! He does that with other shows, too.

Same old, same old with Bond and me! Working, working, working!

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and I'm looking forward to posting more from our family!
