We start off with The Boy's birthday in March. Three months later we celebrate Junebug's in June, followed (three months later) by The Queen's birthday in September. You'd think with everything so evenly spaced I would have plenty of time to get things posted before the next one came up. Seeing as I have 5 days left until The Queen's big day it's probably high time I get Junebug's documented.<br />

<b>Junebug at 2</b><br />
Favorite TV show: Super Why and Elmo<br />
Favorite Food: Macaroni and Cheese, Pizza, and "Honey Waddich" (honey sandwich)<br />
Favorite Books: Hey, Pancakes! Hippos Go Berserk, Whopper Cake, and Falling for Rapunzel<br />
Favorite Things To Do: Puzzles, Play with The Boy and The Queen and SCREAM!<br />
She loves to cheer saying, "Hippee" instead of "Yippee."<br />
She sometimes goes into nursery, throws her hands in the air and announces, "I here!"<br />
She likes to let us all know that, "I did it!"<br />
<br />
We sure love our little Junebug! Happy Late Birthday!<br />
<br />

The Queen had SO much fun with Ms. Ashley. We all just LOVE her!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We also had a pair of robins decide to build their nest right outside our back door. The Queen decided to name them Tiana and Naveen from Disney's <i>The Princess and the Frog</i>. The Boy called the momma Medusa...Tiana seemed to stick with everyone else.</div>

The day after this last picture was taken, our little nest was empty. It was really neat to watch them grow (from the time we noticed the nest to the time it was empty was about 4 weeks). It was a great experience for our whole family!<br />

The Boy had Miss Tueller for 1st Grade and really had a fun year. He's learned and grown so much!</div>

The very last day of school, I headed North to attend a cousin's wedding and run the Teton Dam half-marathon with my sisters, brother-in-law, and a couple of cousins.<br />
<br />
On the way, we decided to stop at the Idaho Potato Museum in Blackfoot. I mean, how could we pass that up (never mind that we've been passing it up for the last 32 years of my life)? We can all thank my sister for the deluge of photos here!<br />

The race the next day was better. I even beat my best time! This was mostly due to the fact that I really needed to use the restroom and the only one I could find at the start was locked!? So I ran pretty darned fast to the first aid station at mile 3, only to find that there weren't any there either! I had to settle for mile 5, but hey, a new PR and third place in my division!</div>

We haven't been up to much, but I do have a few pictures that the four of you who read this might enjoy!<br />
<br />
After the second of our 2 major snowstorms, I braved the knee-deep snow (thigh-deep for my kiddos) and we went sledding at the park near our home.<br />

<br />
This year we tried doing something Christmas-y every day in December leading up to Christmas Day. Most days were VERY simple like reading a Christmas story or (on Tuesday's when Mark was gone) watching a Christmas movie. We also took the kids shopping for each other, had a Polar Express night, and made Santa cookies on Christmas Eve. Other activities (where we managed pictures) included...<br />

We also had an elf this year to keep an eye on things. The kids LOVED finding Christopher every morning. Even Junebug was thrilled to see him and would point and giggle when she'd discovered where he was. He got up to a number of silly things, but we only remembered to get one picture...<br />

With 1:00 church, I thought it might be nice to get the girls really dolled up the Sunday before Christmas<br />

I'm ABSOLUTELY loving 9:00 church now, but I will miss being able to do this!</div>

That Sunday, The Queen started fevering and everyone started feeling a bit lousy. Christmas Eve was spent stocking up at the pharmacy and with kids watching Christmas movies to try and get them to rest. That afternoon we managed to make and decorate sugar cookies for Santa, turn on the fireplace and eat pizza in front of <i>The Muppets Christmas Carol</i>. We went to bed early and exhausted.<br />

Despite the runny noses, hacking, and overall ick, the kids enjoyed Christmas morning. Amidst wiping noses and attempting to keep germs to ourselves, I didn't take many picture (so sad).<br />

We did get out and see family but, alas, I have no pictures for your viewing pleasure. </div>
<br />
The rest of Christmas break was spent resting, taking temperatures, visiting doctors, administering antibiotics, and trying to get well. By the time we reached the New Year and returned to our regularly scheduled activities, the colds were at a minimum and we're all doing much better now. We were kind of bummed to spend our break that way, but also glad to have the time to recuperate.<br />
<br />
Now we are on to trying to survive the cold and inversions. Looking forward to spring already!Neeshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18271739122842618771noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762376980035292675.post-36091743742525142872012-11-06T14:03:00.000-07:002012-11-06T14:07:22.004-07:00Fall FestivitiesApparently I can only post our events by seasons, so this is what we've been up to this fall.<br />
<br />
Our first adventure was to Logan to see the colors in the canyon and get pictures. In order to make this fun for the kids, we stayed in a hotel, ate pizza and cookies while we watched a movie. We did this last year and I think it is becoming a favorite tradition.<br />

Last year our family became big fans of the PBS TV show, Arthur. The Queen decided she wanted to be D.W. for Halloween. Her first opportunity to show off her costume was at a neighborhood Halloween party.<br />

From coloring contests to survey drawings I've never won. At my high school senior party, everyone had their name entered 4 times to win all kinds of prizes. They drew all but 4 pieces of paper that night. Yep. All mine.<br />
<br />
So when The Boy came home with the Walk More in 4 2012 challenge I didn't get my hopes up. UDOT/SNAP had kids throughout the state fill out a chart with the days they walked to school during the first four weeks. The charts were turned in to a drawing for prizes, including bikes, scooters, and water bottles. The Boy was very excited and hoped to win a scooter. Knowing how impossible it is to win these kinds of things I tried to prepare him for the inevitable.<br />
<br />
For four weeks we loaded the girls in the stroller and walked to school, filled out his chart, turned it in and forgot about it. Last week I received a phone call letting me know that The Boy had been drawn to win...a scooter!? Really?

It was good timing as we've had perfect weather and 2 days off from school. He's been "scootering," as he calls it, a lot.<br />

I love this last picture. The Queen just can't get enough of her cousin. She frequently asks, "can we go to Oregon today and play with TyTy?" When I took her out for her "Back to School Lunch" I asked her who her best friend was. Her eyes lit up, she smiled big and yelled, "TyTy!" Wish he could be around more often!<br />

I picked up the Summerfit workbooks at Costco this summer. They were terrific. Each day had a reading worksheet, a math worksheet, and a set of exercises. Each week we discussed a value and played a new sport. As a reward for finishing the entire thing, we took the kids out to dinner.<br />

I don't have any pictures of possibly the best bookstore in this world, but we did visit Powell's Books. It takes up an entire city block and I could have spent hours in it, though the kids should not. They were in awe and a little overwhelmed at first, but quickly threw themselves into the task of choosing a book for themselves. We spent time looking and reading, then looking again to make sure we had what we wanted!</div>

Our last day we decided to do the 4 T's. It consists of a trail, a train, a trolley, and a tram. We thought The Boy would be in heaven, and he probably would have been if it weren't for an upset stomach that decided to show up part way through the four mile hike.</div>

Great views at the midpoint of the hike. Mount Hood is behind us between the trees, albeit it is hard to see in the picture. Mount St. Helens is to our right, and is really hard to see since it is not in the picture at all. It was here we realized The Boy was having some serious issues as opposed to just
having a bad day, but at this point, it was faster to finish the hike than
turn around and walk back to our car. Poor kid. </div>

Between bites of his breakfast (literally, as he had to take a bite before we would give him each example) we told him how trees provide clean air, shade, and beauty.

Wanting to contribute, The Queen excitedly added 'monkeys' to the list as she went up the stairs.</span><br style="font-family:lucida grande;"><br style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-weight: bold;
