Hyrum is a full fledged walker. Easter was the day it clicked for him and it has just been an increase in velocity since. He LOVES to be outside and will bring me his shoes and jacket several times a day. As long as someone is out there he will stay outside and happy. If I'm just watching him out the window he'll crawl up the back steps and tap on the door. He doesn't want to come in, he just wants company.
Sariah continues to humor us with her one-liners. Driving past the location where we have picked Grandma up from her chiropractor, Sariah stated, "That's where we go get Grandma when hers gets her head fixed up."
Bryant turned 7 years old. He wanted to go on a treasure hunt for his birthday so we went out to Grandpa and Grandma Wells's house for a larger, more exciting treasure hunting course. He got to dig up his birthday present in a jar. Per his request, homemade pizza for dinner, Kyler as his guest, and mud pie for birthday cake. Happy kid.
Talmage's long awaited field trip finally came. I wasn't planning on going but when I broke the news to Talmage, it was a heart breaker. I arranged to go for a few hours and I'm glad I did. The excitement Talmage experienced at the McNary Wildlife Refuge was akin to what most kids experience at Disneyland. No kidding. He was thrilled to identify animal tracks, look at marsh bugs through a microscope, watch wild birds through binoculars and see a nesting Osprey through a high powered scope. Simply thrilled.
Last Saturday, the kids got their pumpkins and gourds planted for this year's pumpkin project. Bryant has been watering them this last week and this week it will be Talmage's turn. No sprouts yet. It's been cooler and windy.
Yesterday after he spent at least 7 hours on a church service project, James came home and took the kids to Columbia Park for free fishing. The kids were ecstatic and I think they are old enough that James enjoyed the excursion too. We ate their catches for dinner. James said he prayed in the morning that he would be able to accomplish the things he needed to do that day. When we were crawling in bed he said he didn't get the lawn mowed, but he felt that that prayer had been answered.
