Bike Parade!

The kids have really done well at their Spanish school even though we got off to a rough start. And while it was really hard for me to put them in school, I am so glad that we did. They are really learning a lot, and Charis' Spanish pronunciation is amazing! In addition to learning Spanish they just get to do so many fun activities at school. On April 29, 2010, it was the day for a Bike Parade! The kids really only learned to ride bikes at all a few weeks earlier, and Charis really only got it a few days earlier. Aren't they too cute in those little helmets?!

When asked who is their best friend at school, Charis answered "Hunter" who is a cute little boy in their class, and Price answered "my teacher." I think the teachers there are so great and they seem to really love the kids. We really feel fortunate to have found this school!

Making some big changes...



So the week after my mom's wedding, she of course moved in to John's but we actually moved in to HER house! We made the big decision to remodel our home. We had reached the point, after 6 years here, that we would like something different. It was either sell or remodel and we looked a little but decided to remodel. A friend from high school, John Hover, an architect, drew up some really amazing plans for us. And we took the plans to Luke Hammond to see what we were getting ourselves in to. He took on this huge project and led us all the way through it! So on Sunday, May 2, the full demolition began!
They took every room down to the studs, and only exterior walls remained. The only room that remained fully intact was the kids' bathroom. It was really crazy to see this!!

Mom's wedding

I am a bit behind on the blog.
We have been sort of busy the last couple months, but I will get to all that later! My mom got married April 17, 2010. It was a lovely family gathering, catered by Dave, cakes by John's daughter, photos by Terry. Price would say "John is getting married for Nonnie." The kids love John though, and we are all so happy for them both.
