Easter in Brigham

Everything is in reverse order and there a lot of pictures cause it has been a while since we posted.

Katie had a headache so we sluffed church for a while.







Easter Sunday family photo

We love the Easter bunny!!!



Tessie's one buck tan, but really just road rash.





We went on a long riding tour of the wildlife bird refuge near Brigham City.

Katie said that she wants to be an animal doctor but I'm pretty sure she could make a lot more money as an actress!












A self-portrait of the photographer for this trip.

Orchestra concert










Hannah's orchestra concerts are an excuse for us to get out and take the camera with us. Hannah is section leader for the third violins (viola). We go early so the kids can run around in the gym and burn off a little energy.

Fair Weather Times










March was a busy month for big school projects.
The first was a career fair for sixth graders. Hannah took a job compatibility test which gave her a list of job possibilities. She has a very creative and artistic aptitude. The career that she chose to research and display was Cartoon animator. The displays were voted on by the 7th graders and then cash prizes were given to the top 3 in each class. Hannah won one of them!
The other 2 winners in her class were a photographer and BMX racer.
Sorry, the only photo of that is on Ryan's cell phone.
The next week was science fair for both Hannah and Adrianna.
Adrianna's was first. She dyed eggs with natural dyes made from fruits, vegetables, spices and drinks. My favorites were the bright yellow saffron, the black made from blueberries, the pink from onion skin, and the green from carrots. The grape juice egg had crystals on it. She didn't win any awards but did a great job and her teacher loved her project.
Hannah's grew sunflowers in different ratios of soil to fertilizer.
She won third place in her category!!! She was very happy for that but disappointed that she didn't win one of the ipod door prizes.
2 Of the 5 kids going to NSCEF are from Cedar! That hasn't happened in a long time.
Both girls had a fun time participating and are looking forward to doing it again next year.
