Heber 5 months old

 Pretty pretty roses Joe brought me on Friday. They are huge today and so beautiful!

 Mary's class on Friday celebrating Ms. Coffman's b-day. I think I cut someone off on the right.

 This little man is 5 months old now. He started laughing out loud so hard at Marjorie the other day. It was adorable. She was tossing around her little bunny/blankie and he thought it was so funny.  We all loved watching. So cute.

 Lucy's science fair project.

 Cute Sarah.

Craft I helped Victoria make for YW Auction for camp fundraiser.

 

Me, Bro. Ulberg, and Lizzy Randall enjoying John and Heber. John was so cute with him and so gentle. It was adorable.

We are out of our drought, Lake Lavon is FULL. We have gotten so much rain this week, it has been wonderful for everything except baseball/softball. We got a lot done on our cars yesterday though. So that was nice!

Mary's Musical/other

 Spencer thought this was a hilarious idea. SO he staged it and took the pics himself. 

 Marjorie came out like this the other day.

 My 3 hoodlums hanging out while the rest are at school.

 Mary's musical was last night. She had a dancing part where she wore a frog hat. It was really cute and she did a GREAT job!

These geese happened to fly by while we were taking pictures.

We may or may not have games tonight and tomorrow. Lots of needed rain!

Garmin Forerunner stats/ Weight and Height Stats for kids

Just got a different Garmin watch to exercise with. I will probably still use my other one for some things but I did check the history on it.

Since I got it in Jan. of 2009, it has recorded 371 hours of running, 1,840 miles. There is definitely lots of time and 3 kids born in those 6 years that I did not use it at all but I still liked seeing those numbers! :)

Weight and height at 4 months:

Spencer: 14 lbs. 14 oz.  24.5 in.
Brigham: 13 lbs. 7 oz. 24 in.
Lucy: 16 lbs. 2 oz. 25.25 in.
Mary: 15.67 lbs. 25.29 in.
Sarah: 13 lbs. 14.5 oz. 24.25 in.
Marjorie: 14 lbs. 7 oz. 25 in.
Heber: 15 lbs. 9 oz. 25.25 in.

Happy Easter! General Conference

 Last night was Brigham's first time going to the Priesthood Session of General Conference. They had a great time. Joe took pulled pork for the men to eat before the Session.

 The kids took these this morning I guess.

 They got a few things this morning. We would of liked to do it yesterday but we had an early game and seemed to have something every hour with Conference. So the weather was beautiful yesterday and today it was raining and cold but that made it easy to let the kids hide eggs for each other and try to remember what we are actually celebrating.

 The boys and Lucy got necklaces and the next 3 got flip flops/sandals. Heber got a onesie.

 Heber taking it all in.

 

I really enjoyed Conference. It went way too fast. I have several things I want to work on, I am so thankful for my Savior and Redeemer! He Lives and Because of Him I have peace and courage to keep pressing forward.

Zoo adventure

 Heber and Gpa before they left. We had a fun time with them!

 Brigham was recognized in Maurader Madness for his work in Science the last 9 weeks.

 He was also recognized for his work in Celebrate the Arts.

 This is his good friend Riley--nike shoe--he is an amazing artist!

On Friday the kids were out of school for Easter. Joe had to work all day. I decided to take them to the zoo, all by myself. It was very interesting, we only lasted -2 hrs. I assigned each of them a partner and didn't really think about who I had assigned to who until Sarah was lost. It was horrifying for a couple of minutes and thankfully a nice lady and her group had taken her to the station of the employee I was on the phone with. It all took place in less than ten minutes but drained me of what energy I had.

Here are a few pictures before the ordeal:

I had to get one as we were leaving. This pretty much sums it up:

Marjorie wanted Sarah's sucker (the nice people gave it to her while she was waiting for me).

General Conference has been amazing. Will do an Easter post soon. So thankful for nice and wonderful people. Thankful for this brood I get to call mine, I am one lucky momma! Even if I have my hands full ALL-the-TIME!!!

Spencer's Eagle Court of Honor

 Spencer's Eagle Court of Honor was held at the Wylie Building Pavilion, on March 29, 2015.  Many attended and many other sent their Congrats. We are thankful for so much love and support from family and friends near and far.

 Brooke Fraughton, Angela and Claire LaMarche.

 Brigham conducted the meeting.

 Gpa making faces at Lucy.

 Ben Roper is now the Scout Master--he was Spencer's Cub Master for much of his time in Scouts too. His wife Holly was Spencer's Wolf Leader and she gave him a great start to Scouts. They are dear friends to our family.

 Receiving my mom pin, we were laughing because Spencer was telling everyone that typically it is the mother that does so much work to get their son his eagle but in our case it was his Dad. It is true but it came out kind of funny. :)

 Spencer picked Bro. Roper for his Mentor pin.

 Mr. Phil Norton came from the District, he is not a member of the Church but he had a very close friend who was that he said Spencer reminded him of. He was very nice and has been an important part of Spencer's journey.

 I printed this and had it on display.

 Thomas Barton, Alex Randall, Andrew Barlow, Jaron Harbison, Brigham, Peighton Arnell.

 Gathering of the Eagle's: Lane Cook, Dan Thatcher, Eric McMurdie, Ben Roper Bishop Rigby behind the pole, Ryan Rigby, Josh Harbison, Nate Porter, Dave Porter, Phil Norton, and Jeff Arnell.

 Linda Madsen, Sarah, Spencer, Ethan Randall, Scott Roper, Anna Baker behind.  We had a Sundae Bar with lots of choices. It was yummy and worked out well. Spencer made a huge pan of brownies for me the day before.

Really tired after a long but fulfilling day!

I am so thankful for Joe and his work with our boys. It has been a fun family affair and Brigham will be getting his fairly soon. I love the Scout program and all that it teaches the boys to be. I hope they always remember and live the Scout oath and law!  Very grateful my parents were able to be here for this special day.
