California Trip

This is because Kim asked for a pictorial update on our family.  Our camera battery died, so we used the phone.  Some photos have not been downloaded yet (the black bear we saw in sequoia) and some of these may not be the clearest photos, but here they are:

Hey everyone just saying hello.  We want updates from everyone on what is going on.  This is a picture of us about to go on a bike ride to the pool.  Aiven has a chair on my bike but she is always the first one when she hears bike ride to run and grab her helmet and grab mine as well.  Update here is that we are sooo excited to come back in June to see everyone.  Joe is working hard here and usually busy.  Bryar is in Kindergarten and learning lots of bad habits that have to be corrected when she gets home.  In fact one super cool song she learned at school, "Gangum Style" was a very short fad in this house.  I was wondering what it was and watched it on You Tube so I could figure out what she was learning at school.  After watching it I was more stupid than I was when I started it and now I know that she is going to school to become more stupid.  But really she is reading now and loves art and is pretty good at drawing details in her pictures.  Her teacher won't let her draw before she writes a story now because she takes so much time with all the details in the pictures.  Bridger is doing great and loves to go to preschool and is almost reading (he is reading small words).  He wants to be an athlete when he grows up and turns down sweets all the time because they are not healthy and likes his vegies because that is what athletes eat.  He would like to play football, soccer, golf, tennis, baseball, and tug-o-war.   Asher is the cutest kid that is super hard to discipline for two reasons, he is super cute, and he doesn't listen and does whatever he wants even if you do discipline.  So we are still working on him.  Aiven is super sweet and super sassy.  If she wants something she will fight for it, but she is the only one who will just cuddle up with you and just let you hold her.  She is either glaring at you or smiling.  At church one guy loves to come up to her and say, "do I get a glair or a smile today".  Well that is us in a nutshell.  I just sit around the house and watch sop-operas.  You know how it is for us stay at home moms.

Spring Camping Fun

Sure was fun - wish Joe Buck was there!

NCAA Atwood Madness

Please disregard the results posted via the Atwood Family NCAA tournament results page.  We have found that the results were tainted, and we are going to have to return to traditional Atwood family scoring in order to find out who the true champion of the gene pool is.

I just cleaned six toilets.  I thought I would share part of my day with you :)
