Life just plugs along for us. We are excited to see the snow melt and see small changes in the weather occur. I started track practice 2 weeks ago which makes the days longer after school. The kids get a longer time to not have Dad after them to get things done. Jeffrey started track also and Brandon is soon to start baseball. Jeffrey is also doing Jazz band before school at 7:00 a.m. We have had to change our schedule a little bit with scriptures earlier and Jeffrey eating breakfast on his own. We also only have 9 more weeks of school. As the weather warms it becomes harder to keep the kids going to the end of school. I have spring break in a week and it will be a needed break to get to the end of school.
He are a few pictures from recent events.
When the snow started to melt and the ground was still frozen, we had a shallow lake behind our house that came into the garden. In 13 years, we have never had it come in like that.
The band concert was on March 16th. We were able to have Grandma and Grandpa Porter come and also Grandpa Hansen and Uncle John. He is the family waiting for the concert to begin.
The junior high and high school bands combined for one number. The have improved a lot over the year. I only got to hear a couple of songs from the high school band because Mary and Drew needed to go to the bathroom. I had to go clear over through the gym to use the locker room bathrooms because they are changing the commons area and they took out the bathrooms near the auditorium. I missed Jeffrey's solo. I guess next time I will have to remember have them take care of this before we leave home.
I was lucky enough to get Jeffrey and Brandon next to each other on the combined number.
Alexa built a Leprechaun trap. I thought it was cute. She is a crafty girl and likes to make things.
