Thanks to her sweet cousin Laiklie, Danica now owns a pair of "tappy shoes"! She LOVES them! We go everywhere in our tappy shoes, including the Chiropractor, and grocery store. In this picture, she had just had a bath, and she went straight back to wearing the shoes, funny thing is, she doesn't use them on the wood floor much, just likes to walk around in them. SILLY girl!

This next picture is another project we have been working on...Paige's Science Fair. She decided to do Fingerprints, and everyone got to be involved. We loved seeing the similarities, and differences in the prints. We needed to get Jody's fingerprints, and he was taking a Sunday nap, so we printed him while he was sleeping, and giggled about it when he asked us later if we fingerprinted him in his sleep!

Paige has also been working very hard on her times tables, and we think has finally passed the BIG MONSTER TEST that Preston gives the 3rd graders. We're waiting for it to get corrected to see if she got them all right! Way to go Paige!

Kaden has been playing well at his ball games, but we still haven't pulled off a win. They start Tournaments on Tuesday, and it's single elimination, so win or go home I guess. I won't get to see the game this time, because Ali is doing her "Congressional Hearing" that night. When you're in 5th grade, you write a We the People speech, on some topic, then they have judges come and ask you questions, all in front of your parents. She's not looking forward to it, but I don't think any 5th graders are.

Tyce gave us all a laugh at the Dinner table yesterday. We were talking about how our neighbors get their milk right from the tank after they milk their cows. Ali commented that she thought it was SO GROSS to touch that thing and get milk out of it. Tyce said, "What is that thing called again...is it tenticles?" We all laughed as Jody went ahead and explained the proper words for that part of a cow. Fun dinner conversation!

Now, for my good news...we finally have upgraded, and have satellite internet! It took me less than 2 minutes to post these 2 pictures, and it use to take me at least 20. Hooray! I also love that we can use the phone now when we're on the internet. I always hated that part of dial-up.

Jody and I are staying very busy, but Jody is about to get busier (if that is at all possible). Starting next week, he will be going to Philly to an education thing for work, but he goes for 4 days, then comes home to go to school here on the weekend, and then back again for another 4 days. He will get a week break, and then in May, he will get to go to Jersey to finish it all up. He served his mission in Jersey, so I know he's excited to go. I only wish I could go with him. One thing is for sure, he will be sick of school by the time he's done! Good Luck to you sweet stuff!

Relief Society, and children keep me busy, but I love them both, so no complaints.
