Good: We had a great Spring Break!
Bad: This may be the world's longest blog

What did we do during Spring Break?

The boys went to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Utah for a week.  They had great adventures in the "country" went to the BYU Museum, swimming and so much more. Thanks G&G!

Braydon got the Kindness Award at school, he was so proud! He really was happy.

We had an Easter Egg Hunt in our backyard:

We played tennis:

We went bowling:

We went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs:

 We went rock climbing at the zoo:

We went to The Cave of the Winds:

We went to the Indian Dwellings (that were brought in from Pueblo...but shhh don't tell Kole he will be devastated!)

We went to the Olympic Training Center:

and FINALLY we did what Braydon wanted to do so so  badly! We miniature golfed, because there are no places to Mini Golf in Denver right?

The End

The Goods Bads and Uglies

Yea!!!!, after a sad, dismal year at the Pinewood Derby last year (Kole's car did not even make it all the way down the track) we pulled off an amazing feat. On Tuesday, Kole took first place and Braydon took 2nd Place in the Tallyn's Reach Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.  The boys were so excited, when I say boys, I include Ryan in that too.  It seriously came down to a block of wood, some wheels, and a whole lot of luck! Thank goodness that Luck decided to join our family Tuesday night.

Good: Braydon got baptized today, March 6, 2010.  He looked so cute all dressed in white.  It was such a neat baptism.  Ryan baptized him and my dad confirmed him.  Kole gave an amazing talk on the Holy Ghost  and I gave a so so talk on baptism.  I can't believe what an incredible, neat little man Braydon has become.  We are so proud of him and are so happy with his decision to get baptized.

Good: Look who just turned eight, my Skunky Monkey, my awesome, fun Braydon!

I asked Braydon what is the best thing about turning eight and he thought for a minute and said, "Turning 8."  I'm pretty sure there is going to be a book of deep thoughts written by this kid someday.  He really was so excited to turn 8 and wanted to celebrate his birthday last Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  I think he learned the "but it's my birthday weekend" from me.  Oh well it's fun to spoil him just a little.  Cub Scouts Tuesday night was one of the big mile stones in Bray's life and he loved every minute of it.  Look how cute he looks in his little uniform.  

We love Bray so much he is such a funny, sensitive, strong-willed little guy.  I love the way he laughs and makes all of us laugh with him.  He is a sweetheart and is the first one to share or to say he is sorry for something. How lucky we are to have him in our family.
