Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Wyatt plays T-Ball and Bryant plays baseball.

In the OUT Field. Wyatt prepares to catch a ball.

Preparing to hit...

Preparing to run...

and making his way to home base!

He loves to slide into base.

Seminary Graduation

Sunday the 17th was Heidi's Seminary Graduation.

Little Boys in the Summer Time

The little boys have had a lot of fun in the backyard.

We have a playhouse, sandbox, slide and swing.

They could spend hours out there!

Toothless

Wyatt has lost 3 teeth.

Recently he lost one of his two front teeth.

Mom pulled it out for him. He talks a little different now.

Mother's Day

Some Gifts for MOM

Heidi and MaryLynn got mom High School Musical 3!

She said it was her favorite HSM movie.

Look how excited she was :)

Wyatt mad mom this card at school. Beautiful!

These are the wooden roses Wyatt picked out for mom.

There were lots to choose from. Of course, Wyatt picked the ones that had blue.

The Card

So one day when we (Heidi and MaryLynn) were at the store looking at cards we found this one! When you open it to full spread it repeats again and again, "Mom, mother, mom, mom, ma ma...." in different voices, volumes and tones. It reminded us so much of Wyatt because he is always calling "Mom, mama, mother."

It made mom smile and laugh. She said when all the kids move away and she gets lonely she'll open it up and listen to it. I think she liked it a bit better than the card we got her for her birthday last year :)

The Cake

Happy Mother's Day to Anena too! We love YOU!

Chett on Heidi's Head

Bryant the Birthday Boy turns 12!

May 8th Bryant turned 12.

We were afraid it was going to be a repeat of last year "worst birthday ever" when it ended up we didn't quite get his present in time. But after mom told him what he was getting, a gun, and that we wouldn't have it until later that day, he was very excited! He got to pass the Sacrament on Sunday too. He did a great job.

After much debate on what kind of cake to make Bryant here is what we came up with.

He was rather excited. So were we.

Bryant had some friends come over for his party.

We wanted to have a pizza making party but he insisted on having home made macaroni and cheese. So it was birthday boy's wishes. Also we had a little cookout roasting hot dogs and s'mores.

Gale eating his s'more. It was a little chili outside.

Cinco de Mayo Fiesta!

La Piñata de PINGUINO

Wyatt wondered what he could be in charge of for the party.

Heidi told him the Pinata. He got right to work! He decided to make a penguin. He worried and worked hard on it for three days. After much trial and error, with some help from his sisters, it finally worked out. And quite well, better than anyone had though it would!

Wyatt made us thank you cards for helping him.

This is a picture he drew in Heidi's card. You can see a person holding the pinata with a stick. Someone blindfolded hitting it. The pinata and candy falling out. Pretty awesome Wyatt!

The little boys all loved hitting it. It was a tough bird to break!

On the mark...Get set...Hit!

As always, Wyatt was quite dramatic!After it was broken.

How many Redvines can Wyatt fit in his mouth?

BILAR de LATINO

Latin Dancing

At BYU-I Levi took a Latin Dancing class...so this year at our 5 de Mayo party we updated and did some Latin dancing instead of country dancing. Marange, Bachata, Salsa, Mexican hat dance, and who knows what the moves are called that Wyatt was doing? And boy oh boy, you should see Bryant try to move his hips for the Marangue. It is quite the sight to see!

Gale is quite the dance too!

La COMIDA

Well it seems the only picture we got of the food was Gale after/during eating it.

Looks like he enjoyed it. And yes, he got it everywhere.

Oh and Cheryl after eating the Tres Leche cake.

We are excited for the new little guy to arrive!

Wonderous Wyatt Updates

Wyatt got ran over by a Bryant,

riding his bike one day...

Wyatt can ride his bike now with out training wheels.

He had an accident one day when he was riding ahead of Bryant and somehow Bryant ended up running over his head! As you can see it was pretty traumatic!

Wyatt's hat

He had hat day at school during Dr. Seuss week, and was worried because he wanted a cool hat.

So he decided to make one out of a bucket and decorate it.

He won a prize, a camouflage hat, for the creative hat he made!

Wyatt's Friend: Nash Levi...

or Levi Nash (I don't remember)

Wyatt always wants somebody to play with.

I guess he got a little bored and desperate so he used the tripod and made himself a friend.

Nash Levi even had a hat and shield!

He is a pretty creative guy.

They had many battles and adventures together!

Gale Cracking the Mystery of the Eggs

Chett loved eating the boiled eggs.

He gobbled them down one after another!

Gale decided he wanted one too.

But Gale wasn't sure how to get the shell off.

So he watched Chett carefully to learn how.

Poor Gale, it wasn't as easy as it looked!

After observing Chett, and a few unsuccessful attempts,

Gale resorted to squeezing the egg tightly with both hands. He was determined!

(Hopefully he never tries this with an unboiled egg).

Finally, Grandma came to the rescue and helped Gale.

And the mystery was solved.
