My little guitar hero.....

Yup, this is Megan learning how to play guitar hero III She did pretty well. She's never played a song, just the tutorial. Like the boots? Megan loves to wear them with this outfit. I think she did a pretty good job of coordinating.
If you look at the plant you'll notice her stuffed animal nest she made. She cracks me up!

CAMPING!!

We went camping with our neighbor friends on April 18th to Flowing Springs Campsite just 5 minutes out of Payson on the 87.

Here are the camo shirts that I got for the kids. They love 'em!

Of course I had to make Meg some camo bows.....

Here are various pictures of us sitting around the campsite- of course none of us brought our cameras when we went down to the river to catch crawdads. C’est la vie!

Look at this great tree that Sasha, Clayton, and Maia are under.....

Jeremy did really well.... he was the warmest of everyone on Friday night...snoring away while the rest of us were shivering in our sleeping bags.........

Will and Chaydin hangin out.....

Skyla "appleface" Nicholson.....

Evan "squishyface" Rains

Cake, Cheezits, baby's bottle... so many things to eat, so little time. Matthew was eating the entire time we were camping.
Happy Birthday, Will!
I love this picture....
Aaron: This is a pretty nifty hatchet...
Jason: Uhh... *scratch*scratch* ...maybe you should put that thing down....

Yay mountain men! we'd freeze without you! Here's a shout out to Clayton, the unpictured mountain man......

Grammy's Birthday!

We visited Grammy (Aaron's Grandma Mac) for her birthday. Megan talked her ear off over the chocolate cake that Grammy was good enough to share with everyone. We love you Grammy!

Kites!!

We had a bunch of windy days lately and the kids have loved flying the $1 kites that they got for easter! Matthew's favorite thing is to let go of the string and laugh as I book it down the street barefoot trying to catch it. The little devil. He's not allowed to fly the kite anymore without someone holding onto the string with him.

The quickest month yet, APRIL

Where did April go??? I have a camera full of April pictures that I just barely got down to uploading onto the computer, so I'll just go through chronologically.....

Easter

Easter was fun- it came and went pretty quickly though! I hard boiled eggs and then was so wary about the mess dying them would make that we didn't even do it this year :o( I'm such a bad mom. We still have the stuff, so Megan says she wants to do it this week. I still have time to redeem myself a smidgen.....
Saturday some neighbors and I put together an Easter egg hunt and barbecue- it was lots of fun and yummy- yay bratwurst.
Megan wore a pretty dress that was handed down a couple of years ago from my friend's sister- (Thanks Robin and Wendy) and it fit perfectly and looked so cute with the headband I made for it. The pictures don't do it justice. She looked like a happy little angel walking down the hall at church.

Improv Everywhere

I found a funny site- it's called improv everywhere . You have to watch the food court musical. funny funny. Be sure to pause the music at the bottom of the page before you watch this!

FOOD COURT MUSICAL

March is here!

I was cutting Matthew's hair this morning because it was looking pretty shabby. during the haircut (outside) Matthew saw a helicopter and said "AIRPLANE!" I said, "that's a helicopter, Matthew." So Matthew said his version of "Helicopter!" to which Megan replied, "Mom! That's Matthew's first hel word!" It was funny.
When you compare the before and after pictures, Matthew looks way better with longer hair, but I swear in real life, it looks good shorter.... and yes, I did eventually get around to wiping that nose..bleh.

After the haircut Megan decided Our newly blooming flowers needed one of those garden picks with the picture of the plant full in bloom, so she drew a picture and put it in the flowerpot.

Aaron found out back from the interview he had- he's been placed on the alternate list for next sememster... so here's to hoping that those accepted decide NOT to go there and they'll get down to Aaron's name! LOL He'll be sending more information to the dental school in Las Vegas (which they requested just after Aaron's interview) and also applying for podiatry school. He's just wants to get going with whatever he's going to be doing.

I've noticed after going through a few pictures recently that unless I ask Megan to stand straight, she'll do a pose every time. She calls it her fashion:

A couple weeks ago I gave in to Megan's begging for a pink bike and instead of buying a pink bike, I just repainted her bike pink. cheap, but effective. She loves it. When we were on a walk down the street we saw that someone had put out in their carport a few chairs and bikes with a huge FREE sign on them. One of the bikes was an old timey blue Schwinn so I took it home, cleaned it up, and used the rest of the pink spray paint on it. I have a new bike! I still need to get a fuzzy black seat cover for it because the original seat doesn't match, no matter how cool I think it is.

The interview

Soooo... I thought I'd let you all know how the interview went! Wouldn't YOU like to know. It went great! We don't know yet if Aaron has been accepted, but we should know by the end of March. Bleh. Sunday I asked Aaron "Did you just have your interview last Monday??" I couldn't believe that it had not even been a week! The end of March will not come soon enough! What? is it the 4th today? Oh man, this is gonna be a long month.....

Two interesting things that happened:

• Dr. Woods, my family's dentist growing up, was one of Aaron's interviewers- My sister worked for him for a while when she wanted to get Hygienist experience. Great man.
• One of the guys Aaron volunteers with (a student at ASDOH) was in the hall outside the interview and said that when Aaron left the room, the interviewing student turned to Dr. Woods and said "I liked him."

And he's OFF!

Aaron just left for his 5 hour interview with ASDOH Dental School this morning. He's REALLY nervous- he said that he's never had this much adrenaline running through him. He's gonna do great. I'm sure that everyone who has been praying for him along with the family fast we had yesterday will definitely help!!! Good Luck Sweety!!!
