End of March Highlights

I haven't blogged in so long and now it is Mother's Day and I have told my kids my goal today is to get caught up on this! So here goes!

Basketball Season Ended
The boys both had played Rec Department Basketball from about January until the end of March. Gabe's team was completely undefeated and had a lot of strong players. They all got little trophies on the last day. Caleb's team was very good and I think only lost one game. They both had a lot of fun!

Tiffany's Utah Weekend
I was feeling sad about being home from Hawaii and having to be a mom/slave again so I needed to take a little weekend getaway to visit some friends in Utah. We went shopping and ate at the Cheesecake Factory and saw the new Beauty and the Beast movie. While I was in Utah, Josh tried out his new little raft boat with the kids at his parent's house and went fishing with them.

Gabe's Cub Scout Arrow of Light
When you turn 11 years old in Cub Scouts, the goal is to have achieved everything to earn your Arrow of Light (the highest award in Cub Scouting.) So Gabe earned his Arrow of Light and his best friend, Porter, also earned it on the same day. So we had a fun little ceremony for them and now he is officially in 11 year old Scouts. Now that the LDS church has announced some changes just recently (like just a few days ago) we may not continue with Boy Scouts as he gets a little older. We will see what happens with that! But I hope that Caleb at least finishes with his Cub Scouts in the next couple of years too.

Gabe's 11th Birthday
Gabe wanted to do something he had never done this year (which is hard since there are only so many things to do in Southeast Idaho for a boys's birthday party… and we have done ice skating, iJump trampoline center, Squealer's go karting and mini-golf, and so on…) so we decided to try this thing called Archery Combat. It was at the Zone (where Caleb played his basketball games) and they gave each boy a little mask and some gear and they played these dodge ball type games with bows and arrows. Then we had cake afterwards. It was pretty fun I think! Josh said, "I had a lot of fun!" (That's all that matters… lol)

Gabe's Dare Graduation, etc.
Then Gabe's other highlight (March was the Gabe show apparently!) was graduation from DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education.) That's a program that has been around since I was in six grade! It's goal is to teach kids drugs are bad. Hopefully it works! lol

Fun with Avery
Then here are some other pictures of Avery just hanging out with me, enjoying our days while the boys are at school. We spend our days baking cookies, jumping on the trampoline, having picnics in her room with pet end food, dressing up as princesses, going to open gym at the gymnastics center, taking before and afters of her hair, and so on. It's a very busy life we live. haha

My Attempts at Modeling
I have a friend who owns a little clothing boutique in town and asked me to model some clothes for her website. It pays nothing so obviously I am a very in demand model. I figured since I was still somewhat tan from Hawaii it would be the best time to do that. lol Some of the pictures that were taken…
