Well, it's officially April and officially Spring! Here in Utah that means that it's April and we may still have another snow shower or two before we stay warm continuously. The last few weeks have brought such warmth and beauty as I've seen the grass getting greener and the trees start to bud and flower.
Andrew is really enjoying his new school. He has a wonderful teacher and a great group of classmates, though he rarely actually says anything about them. He'll have a comment now and then about what they do at recess or how many Beyblades his friends brought to school that day. That kid would KILL for his own Beyblade, but he'll have to wait until he earns it. ;) He's learning how to ride his bike, again, and will soon have his training wheels off. He's getting so independent and I love to see him learning new things and making new discoveries.
Mason is on the verge of reading. He starts Kindergarten this coming Fall (boo hoo!) and he can hardly wait. He really wants to be in Andrew's class, but that's not going to happen and he's bummed about it. It seems like he is growing more and more every day. He certainly talks more now than he ever did, but he usually has pretty intelligent things to say, which is a nice breath of fresh air from the fluff that I talk about all day. He really likes learning new things and asks great questions. He says a lot of funny stuff, too, like "I'm such a bugger for beating you again!" His love of board games is one of the things I love most about that kid. He always wants to play games, and I welcome that with completely open arms!
John and I are grateful for our jobs and even more grateful for our extra space. John has enjoyed having a garage back and a big yard to care for. He has turned on the irrigation a few times to make sure everything works, mowed the lawn, fertilized, and overall just enjoyed making plans for our yard. He is less than satisfied with his job, as has been the case for quite some time, and now he's putting in applications for Corrections and Police departments in the area. We're hoping something good will come from that and we'll keep praying, crossing fingers, etc.
Well, that's our update for now. Enjoy the pictures.
