??weather?

Yesterday it snowed. Then it rained. Today I have a tshirt on, because it feels like April outside. And I could hear birds. Truly. They were tweeting their little hearts out in the tree outside my kitchen window :) I think they know that the great bird-killer [aka Jared] is away, playing evil genius again ;)
On that topic, since he's in a dead zone [cellphone-wise] I have no idea what's going on. I'm sure he's enjoying every single second, though. Since it involves rabbits [one dead, one not], and everybody *knows* how much fun rabbits are :P.

He went hunting Friday w/some friends, and they were pretty successful :) Brought back 5 pheasant [some of the guys didn't want the meat], and we had pheasant noodle soup Saturday, and roast pheasant Sunday. :)tasted like chicken. And I feel better about him shooting these birds if we're using the meat. Because, unlike the rabbits [which are considered pests and therefore always in season, but dangerous to eat because of disease], the pheasants are just going about their birdy business. Silly, but true.
Walker posing next to his dragon; which is his current interest. We've read "Dragonrider", "Eldest", and quite a few other 'dragon' themed books here lately. and I just have to interject that he 'borrowed' some dirty dishes from the dishwasher so the dragon would dry in a cool pose. :)
We have an author! She wrote a story yesterday: "Journal of a scorpion" and it made sense, and was pretty legible, with cute little ink drawings of the scorpion and its family. LOL the mommy scorpion had hair. Oh, and totally melted my heart w/the dedication: "to my mom who teaches me everything" - awwww!
He's showing me his big muscles LOL. I have several poses, all w/the shirt *on*, thankfully! Oh, and today he locked me in my room with a forcefield to 'keep out the bad guys.' Gee, how thoughtful ;)
This one is copying things he sees now. Scary, and completely fascinating, to *watch* him thinking :). Oh, and he climbs up to the TV and pushes the power button over, and over, and ... you get the idea. He is *such* a guy- loves buttons and pushing them to see what happens ;)
That's a quick update- now I'm off to enjoy the warm and sunny day while it lasts!

So pretty much Utah weather acts like Iowa weather...fickle fickle:)

Morgen's story sounds very imaginative! And I love Hyrum's pose. Reminds me of Jonah DeGeest at that age. He used to come up to you and ask you to "peel" (ie feel) his muscles, and stick his arm in your face, lol!

I had to laugh at the part about Myles and the TV. Carson's favorite game is to steal the remote and turn off the TV when we are watching it. Of course he never really turns on the TV unless we are being home taught!

Those are great shots of the kids! I can't believe how much Walker looks like you in that picture. This weekend was beautiful, but now, here we are at Sunday night and I think I hear sleet outside....
