BHE Science Fair 2009

Michael needed to do a science experiment to get his scientist pin in scouts, and since he didn't do the science fair last year (it was the same week Mya was born) he saved his experiment for this year... and he won "Teacher's choice"! Good job Michael. His experiement was to find which of his favorite restaurants had the best drinking water. He found out he's better off filling a water bottle at home with our excellently filtered water and taking it with him. 1st place in 5th grade was a kid who polled people of all ages about their fears and found out that younger people have a fear of the dark and ghosts and older people have fears about money and their future (not the most 'scientific' experiment, but interesting). The winner of the entire science fair was a girl who wanted to know which was dirtier, dog's mouths or cat's mouths... both were pretty gross, but I also believe that not all bacteria is bad. Not to critisize because it was really well done, I think she should have done her own mouth too. GOOD JOB MICHAEL!

Just wanted to thank everyone for thinking of Mya on her birthday. The weather was georgous. It was a fun day with a picnic in the park. Here she is in her new dress from her 2nd cousin Kaela who lives in Hawaii. It's perfect timing too because Haleigh's polynesian dance group is having a Luau at the end of the month!

NEW SPRING PICTURES!

Kristin Leithead-Mayes, one of Daniel's neighbor's growing up (the equivalent of Haleigh and Shaye) lives here and is an up and coming photographer! I asked her to do some of the kids for spring a few weeks ago... and then everyone came down with the infamous "spring break" bronchitis. So we finally met up with her and here's a sampling of what she can do... I think they are AMAZING. I love them. Thanks Kristin!

Last day as baby

We had Mya's party a few days early because our week is so slammed with baseball, gymnastics, dance, scouts, roundtable, science fair, etc. etc. So this is a sneak peek of how excited she is to be 1!!! I can't believe it!

I love them

I needed a creative moment to myself this evening and what better way to spend a few minutes, or the better part of an hour, than by dscrapbooking? So I made this page with this cute picture of my girls from last month when we went to Pirate Island Pizza with the kids while Grandpa was here. Just want to let them know I love them. They help a TON with the kids and even clean up after me sometimes. I'm so glad they followed us to St. George... just wish Grandma and Grandpa would be as ADVENTUROUS!

(This picture is SURE to get them married off!)
