Cyra

Cyra is just finishing her 1st grade year. It has been quite successful so far. She is so excited to go to Bear World on a field trip. She was one of only 3 in her class to run the 50 miles this year to get to go. I went and ran with her to get her last 9 laps in. That's 2 1/2 miles. She ran the whole way and never stopped. She loves to play with her friends and is dying for a sleep over. We'll see if that happens.

Ethan

Ethan will be a kindergarten this coming fall. He is very excited, but probably not as excited as his mom is to have him in school and being able to learn and socialize. Ok, let's face it, it's a good break too!!! He will be 5 years old on August 16th, just 10 days before school starts. At this point he literally wants everything in the store for his birthday, including tampons!

He did it!!!!

He did it!!! Cory Graduated from BYU-Idaho in graphic design. We are so excited, but now real life has come yet again, and we are in the job finding market.
Cory is temporarily working for Klim, as a graphic designer. It designes and manufactures snow maching and dirt biking clothing and such. He is also pursuing the air force to be an officer. We're really pursuing everything right now.
We are hopeful to have more than one choice in the end, but we'll see what happens. His job with Klim ends in June or July sometime and so, we are looking for something permanent as well.
All in all life goes on.

Funniest things ever said.

I got thinkin' that the kids have said some pretty funny things. So, we'll start with Cyra.

One day Cyra told me there was something seriously wrong. I asked her what was the problem. She was dead serious when she looked up at me and said, "mom, I have a hole in my butt."

Ethan said to us the other day, " hey guys, I have something to tell you. Cyra is going to be a mom someday, and I'm going to be a boy!!"

Little Graham helping mom get the laundry folded. Having a crawler around while folding laundry is a bit frustrating. So, after sucking on Ethan's underwear (kinda gross, I know, since we know how many times those have had to be washed out :o ) we just put them on his head. He thought it was great!!

Cyra, the BIG 1st grader in her favorite outfit to begin the year. She was so excited she almost pee-peed her pants, which is really a close call, really!!!

Ethan, getting that dreaded once a year photo done, PAINFUL. Trying to make him sit still and not be a goof, PRICELESS.
