Exploring

The weather started to turn and we decided to go for a walk around our apartment complex. During our walk we discovered a park just up the hill and around the corner from our apartment.  

Skylr is a monkey on the monkey bars!!

Do you see all of the stairs behind them that we just went down?

 Feb. we went to Spokane for a Dr. appointment to check out Gavin's other thumb. He had surgery on is right thumb this summer and has developed trigger thumb in the other thumb.

During our drive to Spokane we saw a HUGE wind farm

They were so close

 On our way to Cour d'alane we stopped to see the temple. This is the smallest temple we have ever seen. But still beautiful!

 Tim was so excited when i finished his blanket. I decided to make a quilt/blanket for each school he attends/graduates from. He received his BSU blanket Dec. 2011 just before graduation. And now he gets his WSU blanket just before the half way point of his masters degree.

I really enjoyed making this blanket and can't wait to start on the next one.

Tim found a Raiders shirt for the kids

Tim is doing very well in school and although he has been extra busy this semester we have enjoyed a lot of time together exploring some of the towns around us.

 Skylr has also been doing very well in school. We attended our first parent teacher conference (as the parents not the students :D) and we were told that Skylr is a great student. Skylr can write her name as well as spell some other works, count past 20, recognize and write just about anything you put in front of her and we is also very social, but is a great listener. Skylr is the best little student!! 

Gavin has become very eager to start school now too. He was upset to see Sky go to school and not him, so he has deemed his nursery at church to be his school. Gavin now willingly goes to nursery (which is such a relief from the crying match he had before) and has a GREAT time. He tells us about all the things he learns and even says he is learning things that Sky learns during the school week.

Zoey is now 5 months old and can roll from belly to back, has one tooth and another coming in. She has found her voice and likes to use it. She is a sweet heart, we just wish she would sleep through the night...maybe some day!
