I Love Books

 

Keenan loves books. We always have to read his color book ( the booking laying next to him). He keeps close tabs on his color book. He likes to find objects that match the colors in his color book.

Today he fell asleep reading books to himself. It is so fun to watch him grow. He tries to keep up with his big brothers.

Fire Station Field Trip

 

Keenan loves his preschool. This last week was a field trip to the fire station. First they did a few activates in the teachers back yard before heading to the fire station.



The Fire Chief showed them a video about fire safety and then they were able to go out a see the fire truck.   

The sirens were very loud but the lights were fun to watch. Keenan loves to get with his friends a learn new things. 

Keenan's Balance Bike

We are always excited to get our boys going on learning to ride a balance bike. Carter never really rode the balance bike because it was to big and he learned to balance on a scooter. He then went right to a regular  peddle bike. For Keenan's balance bike we decided to try and modify the bike so that it would be shorter. Thomas cut the welds then lowered the cross bars and welded everything back together. It made the bike 3 inches shorter and the perfect size for Keenan. We took it over to the church to try it out on flat, even sidewalks. He had a great time.



 

Carter and Seth love the pegs on the back tires of their bikes. They love to give rides to Keenan. He always has a great time. Keenan wants to be just like his big brothers.





International days

As part of International days they do a kids bike parade. It is the highlight of their week. The boys love to wear their helmets in the parade so that they can get candy from the police officers for protecting their brains.  

These two were good sports to ride in the stroller. 

Ashley

We welcomed Ashley Jo in to this world on Saturday May 2nd at 11:47. We are so happy to have her here and she came with perfect timing. 

Her brothers just love her. She is going to be very protected. They are going to be big helpers. 



Delicate Arch

 

Thomas'  brother Michael and his wife Jen were in town this last weekend and they planned to go the Arches National park so we joined them.

 It was just under a 2 hour drive to get there from Price. It was a very nice day and the weather was wonderful.

Thomas, Michael, Jen, and Grandpa Jenson hiked with Seth, Carter, and Keenan up to Delicate Arch. It was about a 3 mile hike round trip. With a beautiful view. Thomas said that the boys did great hiking up and back. Keenan rode on Thomas back part of the way but wanted to be down and hike on his own.

Grandma and I waiting down by the cars. I did not think that it would be a good idea for me to hike this close (37 weeks pregnant)  to having a baby.

It was nice to enjoy the sunshine. When they returned we had a picnic lunch. They had all worked up a great appetite. After lunch the little boys had fun playing in all the red sand that was around. It was like a giant sand box. Some of the sand is even in the van now that we have returned. 

School Play

 

 

Seth was in the underwear commercial for the school play "The Ugly Duck".

Seth enjoyed being in the play. He looks forward to participating in future plays.
