Egg experiments.....

We learned that eggs float when they are in water because they become light as the salt makes the water heavy.



We also learned from 'youtube' that you can get an egg to squeeze into a bottle....watch this.. it's funny.

We started School last week..




Our theme for this month is America so we are studying Abe Lincoln. We are so excited to have so much Homeschool support in our ward. At least 6 people I know of Homeschool! So Helen Who is an Awsome historian and has a great passion for it lent me tons of books on 'Honest Abe'
Here is a pic of the dining/homeschool room and the kids at work and One of Helen's kids, Jonah with Kaedrin. They are the cutest little buddies.

Wednesday

4th of July!!


We went to our wards breakfast,then Libbie spent the day with her friend Zoe. Michael had staff duty and the rest of us stayed home and watched the fire works from our house on the hill. Every year the kids love the tradition of having cupcakes. I normally buy fun festive decorated ones , so the boys were a little sad I made em this year.

Friday

Ellie listening to books on tape at the Library





I thought she looked so cute with the head phones on.

Saturday

Aadric found the coolest bug




Libbie's friend Katelyn calls Aadric a "Bug Freak". Thats an understatement! But we have such different bugs here than TN, its fun to learn about them, I know way more about bugs and reptiles that I ever dreamed,because Aadric has such a passion. After a few minutes with him, you can't help but think that the they are the coolest things too:)

We found out that this bug is called a "Leaf Footed bug" or
"Giant Mesquite Bug"
We found out from one of our favorite websites www.whatsthatbug.com

June 2nd Michael pins CW3!!!



Michael is pretty excited to be a CW3, it means more respect and the best part... more money each month!

Kaedrin turns 5!!





May 31st:
Kaedrin has waited for a long time for this day and has asked daily for about 6 months,how many days until his birthday. He spent the day doing his favorite thing,(I'm glad his birthday was on Saturday,because that is the only day he plays the Wii) Then he had the cake he came up with,which was "white cake,with strawberries,whip cream and big marshmallows" Dad filled the Hot tub up and the kids loved that. Then the got to hit a pinata!
