These kids love to play at the park that has a huge sand box (volleyball court) Heath says it's just like being at the beach without the water.
Hannahs new favorite hat. (one of the toy boxes)
One day for school we wrote all the S words we could think of on paper and Stuck them to ourselves. It was sure fun.
These boys love school. Houston especially loves to do his school book. Most mornings that is the first thing he asks to do.
Hannah is such a little girl.
Hannah brought a bunch of books over for Houston and placed them on his belly while he was napping. She even opened them up and faced them the right way for him.
One day both boys were sitting in time out. Hannah went running over and sat down with her arms folded too. I guess she thought it was the cool thing to do.
Grandma found some clearance costumes for the boys. They LOVE them!
On 9/11 we learned about flags and made our own. Heath was very careful to count out 50 white paint "stars". Houston got to about 15 then just started making dots like a mad man.
I had this picture on my phone. I dont remember exactly what happened but I do remember Matt had asked me how things were going and I sent him this as a reply. Some days are really really hard for Houston right now. Every little thing (like me putting his spoon on the wrong side of his bowl in the morning) can set him off like this. After a few minutes he's totally fine and normal again, but man when it hits, it really hits.
We did a knight unit in school. We learned about medieval symbols and were going to make our own shields. Heath remembered that there was a Forsyth coat of arms and wanted to make that for his. Houston asked if there was a Hansen coat of arms, so we looked it up and there was. So I drew out the shields and they colored them. Heath added the symbol for the first son on the top of his, and Houston added the 2nd son symbol.
They were so proud and happy.
Hannah loves to take off her jammies now.
At the water fountain park.
We had the swing set up for Gage, and Hannah found it the next morning. A perfect rocking chair for her and her baby.
Some of our friends took us to the zoo with their safari passes. We got to go see the sea lion show for the first time. It was pretty amazing. We also got to ride the train and go to the children's zoo with them. It was awesome!
We also went to the nature center with some of our friends. Can you spot the Momma and her twin baby deer?
We sure love this crew! Heath, Wong, Evy, Jensen, Ryley, Hannah, Leong, Bean, Ulysses, Houston
Hannah is addicted to Dot's Pretzels. (a special treat from our family in ND) I had them sitting on the dish washer, and they disappeared. We found Hannah hiding in the toy closet with her mouth and fists full.
Daddy gave a lesson in FHE about how the Nephites fortified the city before the Lamanites came to fight, and wore armor to protect their bodies.
We talked about how we can fortify ourselves before bad things come our way.
The kids absolutely LOVED it!
Hannah
This girl sure loves her Daddy.
Memorial day weekend we went to the lake with my family. It was SO much fun!
We played on the boat, wave runner, and fished.
The kids especially loved jumping off Grandpas giant lily pad.
Hannah turned into a crazy girl and was jumping off right along with the boys. She was squealing and screaming the whole time.
Hannah & Dal, Hannah & Daddy
