Lion King Kids

 When I asked Lincoln and Hunter if they were going to try out for the school musical, they both adamently said "no"!  As they week went on however, they both decided that they would.  They both sang "Seize the Day," from Newsies in their audition.  Much to their excitment, they both made the play.  Lincoln was given the part of Shenzi, one of the Hyenas and Hunter was one of the villagers. We were so thrilled, because a lot of people who tried out didn't get to be in the play.


 This is Mrs. Tritt the drama teacher.  She is so amazing.  She always does such a good job with the school play and makes sure the kids all have a good experience.
 This play was so good.  We were just bursting with pride over our boys.  To pick them out, look for the blonde headed boys.  There aren't many blondes where we live.

























 This kid played Scar and he was amazing.






 I think this was such a good experience for Lincoln and Hunter to share.  I'm so glad they both got out of their comfort zones and did it.

Easter 2016

 We have a seriously buff Easter bunny at our house.  He managed to drag in a weight set.  

 Easter morning
 My camera was doing weird things. 

 Handsome boys ready for church.
 Our traditional Easter "egg" hunt where the kids hunt string cheese, pudding cups and chocolate milk.  



 We invited a new family in our ward over for dinner and had a good time getting to know them.  What a lovely Easter.

Some Extras

 Just a long post about a couple of pictures that don't really have anywhere to go.  This one was aroudn Christmas break Palmer decided he had had enough of longer hair and wanted the same hair cut as Hunter.  We chopped it all off. I think he looked so handsome!
 I love to see these cuties all dressed up for church.  I am grateful they humor me with dressing up...hopefully they always will.
 We had just come in from doing yard work in the winter!  I like how mild the winters are here in Georgia, but I don't like that we have to pull weeks all winter...
 We had a seminary lesson on David and Goliath and I left the Goliath up for a little while.
 McKay had to get a cavity filled and thanks to a movie and his doggies, he was totally fine.  He didn't even notice!
 Palmer did a seriously intense basketball camp for 11 weeks, twice a week with games on Saturdays.  McKay and I would sit for 1 1/2 hours every Monday and Wednesday waiting for him.  
 They got a kick out of my lovey Valentines decor.
 I love this silly boy.
 Usually I get some variety of this when I am taking pictures of him.
 The boys were so excited that the Broncos were in the Super Bowl (as was their dad).  We had to have it on the projector on the wall.  It was bigger than this, but our eyes started going crazy.
 We had this as a dessert of Dr. Seuss Day.
 Hunter was sick one Sunday and he stayed home working on this...I don't think it was as fun filled as he hoped it would be.
 The hall poster I did for Lincoln's teacher for Teacher Appreciation Week.
 Lincoln's friend invited him and our other boys to do a parkor (no idea how to spell that) night on Friday night.  We were supposed to just drop them off and pay and then they would feed them and entertain them for the night.  We thought it was great until we picked them up and saw how dirty and unsupervised it was.  I hope they enjoyed it...because it's never happening again.


 This year for April Fool's Day I did this instead of a prank.  The boys loved it and it's still up on their toilet.
 Lincoln had a piece of art picked by the art teacher at our school to go to an art show of all of the schools in our area.  We were so proud of our artist!
 McKay was picked to do the National Anthem on the news on CNN (Colt News Network).  It's a little program shown on the TVs of the classrooms.
 The boys were dying to use ther Enos they got for Christmas, so they did it at the ward campout.  They were in heaven.
 We shoot a lot of hoops at our house.  Hunter shot them in his pjs this night.  
 Josh bought this snorkeling stuff and McKay became obsessed.  He would use it everywhere and it kept him busy for hours.  
 Last October conference.
I love our tradition for keeping the boys listening.  Well, that's all of the random photos for now.
