Allie's Field Trip

Morgan, Tess, Joslyn, and Allie

I was able to go on Allie's 1st grade field trip to the new Natural History Museum up on University of Utah's campus in Salt Lake. It is a marvelous museum and Allie loved it. She only had 1 other girl in her group, Joslyn. Joslyn is a little spit-fire and doesn't listen very well. She is a cute little girl--with an identical twin. Allie loved the terrace on the top floor. It was a nice day and she and Josslyn loved exploring the outside. We could see the whole valley. Allie also loved the huge crocodile skeleton--especialy after watching a special on animal planet with Daddy.

Maggie's School Choir

Maggie performed in her Freedom Elementary School Choir again this year. She had practice every morning before school for 2 months. (Maggie carpooled with Cassidy Patterson, Burklee Dabb, and Colby Clay.) All of the Roy elementaries performed at Roy High on March 22nd at 7:00 PM. Their school sang "Crocodile Rock" and "Jump" a Van Halen song. (I thought that was an interesting choice of choir song.) She loved it and did well.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

St. Paddy's Day was fun here at our house. First we went Digging for Gold at the Roy Rec Center. The kids were able to go dive for coins and toys because some leprechauns dropped their crock of gold in the swimming pool. It was fun for them. After swimming at 8:30 in the morning, we had green shamrock pancakes, ham steak, and eggs. They were all dressed up in their green duds--especially Cooper. He even wanted to look like a leprechaun. So here he is with green face and red hair. The girls wanted to look cute, so they didn't go all out like Coop.

After a fun morning, we had a party waiting for us at the Meikles, but Cooper had to spoil that by getting a positive result of strep throat. Maggie had Strep on Thursday and Cooper was also cultured and his was negative. The office called on Friday saying he was still negative, but Saturday at 2:00 they said it was positive. Uh Oh! We exposed lots of people on Friday and Saturday. Whoops!

Well, Coop and Chris stayed home--Chris wasn't too disappointed because he watched NCAA tournament games. The girls' and I went to the fun party. We had the traditional corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes but also had lots of other green foods.

Indoor Soccer and Applebee's

Maggie has really enjoyed playing competition soccer and especially her teammates. They are all a real nice group of girls. Aleyah's dad, Ton, is a GM for Applebee's and had the whole team and their families go to Applebee's after the last indoor game. It was very nice of them. (We just had to pay for the adult meals. They even had an appetizer for each family too.)

2nd Annual Tubing Trip to Soldier Hollow

We had tons of fun again tubing at Soldier Hollow. After our 2 hours were up, we ended eating dinner at Taggarts.
