In other news


During spring break last month I took the boys to the BMX track for the first time. It has now becoming their favorite place to go biking. I have to admit I was a little nervous watching them race around the track but was pleased that we walked away with only minor injuries.













The boys had to work harder on their mountain bikes but there were several seasoned BMX riders there giving them tips.


The weekend of General Conference we were delighted to be 'egged'. This fun tradition went through the ward last year without it hitting us. The kids were thrilled to be egged this year. We had such a blast returning the favor to a couple of other families.











Joseph was selected to be in the "battle of the books" this year. He competed against three schools and came in 1st place.

The following week he went to districts and his team placed 4th. We think he would have come in first if his team mates from the first half of the competition hadn't had so many mistakes. :)



Hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend.

Impressive Joe!!! You must have been bursting with pride, Sharon! Also, the BMX track looks so fun. You're inspiring me.....

Ah, that BMX track brings back good memories. Of course my bike had a banana seat and weighed a ton.
Remember when we took Ardie's moped on the BMX track?
