Here are some of the activites that kept us busy.
The ice rink was reserved for just our ward. The kids have so much fun. Especially when the disco light comes on.
Camdyn took gymnastic lessons again for one of her Birthday presents.
Todd went to Utah for his Grandmother's funeral and was gone for a week. Here are a few of the things that kept us busy.....
..........Mostly I was cleaning up load after load of THROW UP. yuck! Brody was sick off and on for a whole week. Kennedy got it too. I got pretty efficient at stripping down bedding and getting him in the tub.
After 7 days of this, coupled with the incessant whining only 2 year olds are good at....I sat in his rocking chair too tired to move and felt like Goldie Hawn in the movie OVERBOARD where she can only utter "Buh, buh, buh, buh" while the kids throw grapes at her face.
Kennedy loves to put her knowledge to the test. She memorized these 45 animal cards and can say all of them in 58 seconds. I timed her. Caribou and Artic Puffin are some of her favorite. It's just Rhinocerous that gets her tongue tied! Now she's moved on to LANDMARK flashcards like the Taj Mahal, St. Basils Cathedral and Kuwait City Towers. It's so fun to see her WANT to learn!
Griffin recieved another award from one of his teachers at school honoring kids for their overall work ethic and behavior in class. "Breakfast of the Champions" includes donuts....which Kennedy and Brody love to partake in.
Kennedy started gynastics with her friend Brinley. To say they love it would be an understatement!!!
Kennedy enjoys P.M. Kindergarten once I'm able to pry her off of my legs each and every day that I have to walk her to the door, kiss her and tell any substitute that might be there of her "crying problems" from missing her mother while she's at school. Luckily her friends Brinley and Rachel are there to help with that.
For Activity days the girls learned a dance. Cammy loved it! She wanted to show her moves off to us several days following and wants to be on dance team when she grows up.
Both of Camdyn's teachers have offered a few of the students extra help before school 4 days a week for MATH and LITERACY STUDY CLUB. I am soooo grateful for school teachers and they work they put forth for my kids.

I love the comparison to Goldie Hawn in Overboard, that movie is so great! Hopefully your situation wasn't quite as bad as hers.
Those kids with Griffin in the rewards picture look so old and big compared to him! Looks like you are all anxiously engaged in good causes. Can't wait to see you all in 2 days!
What a delightful recap of your family over the past few weeks. I am so proud of you and Todd and the good parents that you are. Your children are a reflection of your caring and nurturing. I know you mother is so axious to spend time with your family next week.
What fun ways to get through the winter! The kids activities and accomplishments are what make your life as a mom so much more joyful. That's sweet that Kennedy misses you so much still! (but hopefully she'll outgrow that by the time she's 11 or 12?)
Hey great posts. I love those flash cards you got Kenna. Where did you find them? I think the world wonders flashcards would make a great birthday gift for any kid. That's a good idea to have gymnastics be apart of Camdyn's birthday gift. Can you believe I started Emma when she was only 2 and a half? I was bored. I won't make that mistake again. Doughtnuts sound yummy now. I love the overboard mental image I have of you, classic!
I'm so glad your girls are taking gymnastics. Looks like they are still at Vega. I'm glad they like it so well!
Kenna's hair is so short! I hadn't seen it in your earlier post because all the pictures don't always load for me. That's too bad she cries for Kindergarten. Spencer has a fit almost every time before speech but always has a great time once he gets there. He's usually done complaining before we even get to the school.
Ice skating scares me. It must be something you enjoy more if your sidewalks and stairs aren't covered with for months on end. I totally feel in a neighbor's driveway this morning because of the cursed stuff!
