School started

Jacob started middle school at Jason Lee. Shelby started the forth grade at Minnehaha. Mackenzie started pre-school 2 days a week. Rory is getting schooled by me. It has been a crazy mash of orientations and preparing for 3 different schools. Now there in and the homework is starting to flow, which is another things to get back used to. Jacob has a huge assignment to build 35 different land forms and if they work there's extra credit. So now I get to make clay and take him to collect sand and other "real" things to make "real working" landforms. When he first told me about the project I couldn't even think of 35 landforms off the top of my head. School is great for everyone. We are all learning. We are also all practicing our times tables for Shelby.



On to other news...We took a quick weekend trip to Goldendale. We went to help build the garage, see the lawn mower races and visit. It was a good trip. We met the wild turkeys, some young deer and a chipmunk.

Mackenzie's Birthday Party

Here is Mackenzie waiting for all of her guests to arrive. She was so excited to see the backyard with some of her party stuff. We were all worried that it would end up inside because of the rain earlier in the day but the weather finally cooperated and we were able to set up and have the party outside at the last minute. She said she is happy to be turning 4.

this is our first game, everyone got to pin the bracelet on Dora. the kids really enjoyed it i think the adults had fun pining the bracelet on Dora also the kids loved the prizes also especially the load whistles.

We always wanted to do a pinata for Mackenzie because she is such a big candy lover. We got this Dora pinata without thinking about the hard truth that we would be encouraging small children to beat Dora with a stick. If we do a pinata again maybe we will stick with basic shapes that don't resemble people or animals.

I think Rory wasn't sure what to do with the stick, Allen was in a hurry to take off his mask .

Yummy cake!

She really loved all the gifts she received. Her favorite was the cash register that grandma gave her.
