We've had a BUSY spring and blogging got away from me.  I'll try to recap.  We celebrated the equinox and Easter, had a lovely day for Sophie's birthday party, took a few trips to the zoo, various museums, nature centers, etc.  We also got chickens and started building a pole barn.  I'll try to post some pictures sooner, rather than later.  Hope everyone else is enjoying spring, too!

Sophie's animated video (made with Daddy's help)

Jason's animated short

The gold dragon is sitting on it's gold.  The silver dragon enters.  They fight.  The gold dragon whacks the silver dragon with it's tail and it retreats.

My video.  Jason calls it, "The Life Cycle of a Flower."

Our Leprechaun Traps

Our friend turned 6 and had a repile and amphibian birthday party at the local nature center.

Sophie and the painted turtle they named princess.

Jason and the bunny.

And Sophie, too.

She just loved those turtles.

Here's Jason with the "King of the Turtles" as the kids dubbed him.

Jason and Sophie review books for a book review magazine.  Here's Sophie with one of her books.

Hanging out with our cousins at Aunt Evey's house.

Happy Birthday Frank and Zoe!

Playing checkers with Benny and Grandpa.

We all love Goose!

It's a hard knock life for us...

Our music concert... 

Here's Jason and Sophie's Elementary Music Class.

Jason and I also played Michael Row Your Boat and Row, Row, Row your boat in the Young Strings class puppet show.

Here's Jason doing his violin solo.

And Sophie doing her solo piece.

For our neices' birthday party this weekend, I made these matching skirts.  Sophie picked out the material.  Every girl gets a skirt for herself and her favorite doll.

Here's Sophie and Rose showing off theirs.

While Daddy and Jason went to the planetarium, Sophie and I stayed home to enjoy a lovely tea party.  Here's Rose with her tea and cookie dough ball.

We all had to get dressed up to attend.

After the tea, there was music and dancing.

And a VERY bubbly bath!

We went to the sky ropes course in Farmington with lots of friends today.

The low course was great for the kids.

Daddy tried out the high ropes!

After a long day on the ropes, we stopped for dinner at Grammy and Grandpa's house.

Sophie loves her Kitty.

"It all began with that shoe on the wall.  A shoe on a wall...?  Shouldn't be there at all!"

It's Wacky Wednesday!

Our couch is turned around backwards.

Sideways pictures!

My personal favorite, the display on the TV is flipped upside down!

And our boots are, too!

Sopie decided she wanted to make the snack at Grammy's house.

Playing LEGOs with Grammy.

And reading with Grandpa.

And with Grammy, too.

Our Valentine's Day party with friends.

Here is Sophie decorating her mailbox.

Lots of decorations to chose from.

Jason with his finished mailbox.

And Sophie with hers.

Best friends on Valentine's Day.

Bowling!

Sophie and her favorite babysitter!

Leave it to the homeschoolers to get an impromptu behind the scenes tour of the bowling alley.
