Happy Easter!!




MARCH 2010: by the KIDS

Happy April! Miriam enjoyed playing in a foot of SNOW this morning for her birthday! We really enjoyed EASTER and CONFERENCE and FAMILY over the weekend. Here is a report from each of the kids.

Ellie
I love my family and that I’ve been playing with my sisters. We’n playing legos – me and Enoch and Miriam. We got pizza to bring home to eat. We see grandma and grandpa again. I see my other grandma and grandpa again. At school, I have been reading and playing and playing on the computers and then when will it be my birthday again? And, I like to play with Enoch and Miriam and I love Miriam and Enoch and Daddy and Mommy and Natalie and Auriana and Isaac and Berry and I love to go to Barry’s to eat and I love GUM. I love to count. I love to write. And I love to play. And that’s all!

Miriam
Tomorrow is my birthday and I’m going turn six. It’s going to be a family party. I play soccer and Lucy and Kate are girls from my Kindergarten class and they are on my team. I had a Easter birthday party. I invited all my favorite friends – Kelly, Lauren, Carmen, Sarah, Kate, Lucy, Adelaide, Ellie, Isaac, Natalie, Enoch, and Auriana. We had an Easter egg hunt and we played musical eggs. We colored a white egg like an Easter egg. We made baskets and we ate cupcakes. My favorite part of the party was opening presents. I loved my party.

Enoch
I started soccer practice and I got prongs and I’m going to Washington and Boise and it will be fun and Miriam’s birthday is tomorrow. I had a fun Easter and fun conference and we went to PPT for Isaac’s birthday. I did a front flip into this big foam pit and there were two Olympic trampolines and I went JUMP JUMP and landed on a pad. The end. That’s my story.

Natalie
The soccer games that I’ve had – we tied the 1st one and won the 2nd. For Easter I got some Prismacolor colored pencils and some min-gel pens. I did a recital for Irish dance and each class got to choreograph a dance and the one that we did, we wore crazy socks for it. At school we’re starting to train for the Hershey track meet. I ran the 50 meter in 8.45 seconds and the 100 meter in 16 point something seconds.

Isaac
Well, I got new track shoes and at school we did the timings for the Hershey track meet and I got the best time in the whole entire school: 14.11 seconds and I feel pretty good about that. I got ordained a deacon. I passed the sacrament and I only messed up twice. I got a really nice brown suit, it’s really warm and it has a ton of pockets.

Auriana
I had a Concert Choir/Show choir concert last Thursday and it was really fun. The Concert Choir one was at 7:00, then I got to go eat, and came back for the Show Choir one at 8:00. On May 1st, we are taking our show to Lagoon and performing in a festival and getting judged. I am really excited! For Easter I got 3 pairs of pants, a really cool mechanical pencil, a new hairbrush, 2 plastic Easter eggs filled with jelly beans, and a chocolate bunny. Right now we are on Spring Break, and I am looking forward to sleeping in a little bit.
