Catching up . . .

Today I was talking to Grandma Johnson and she asked if I had been blogging lately because she missed staying up-to-date with our little family, so this post is dedicated to Grandma:)

Lots and lots of fun happenings in February:

Pinewood Derby - B's last -- he went out with a bang having made his fastest car yet.  He's already looking forward to helping BR with his first car next year!  B also earned his Webelos Badge at the end of the month -- way to go! (Yep - he's 10 and almost as tall as me:)



Both B and E participated in their school's Science Fair.  They were pleasantly surprised to earn 1st in 4th grade and 3rd in 6th grade!  Next week they get to go on to the SARSEF Science Fair.



E was invited to take part in an Honor Band this month.  Several 6th graders from local elementary schools came together to learn and play several musical selections.  Emma did such a great job - one of only 3 electric basses in the band.  She really enjoyed playing with kids who knew their instruments -- and they really did sound good!  

BR has been working hard at his reading and is doing so well!  He's very excited for his upcoming birthday -- this is a big one - he'll be getting baptized at the end of the month, and gets to join the cub scouts, AND gets to have a "friend" party this year.  He really enjoyed going up to Pinetop during Rodeo Days -- he loves the snow!  Dad took E & B up on the slopes while BR practiced around the bunny hill, and then went sledding -- his favorite part!

S loves being a big sister - she introduced C to the fine art of "tea partying" this month.  She's also getting ready for Kindergarten next year and has started reading -- she loves figuring out new words! She also loved playing ion the snow in Pinetop.

And little Miss C doesn't seem so little anymore.  She is such a happy baby - full of lots of smiles!  She is sleeping nicely for us most nights now, and seems to learn new things each day.  We just love her to pieces!
