Cole

Cole has learned to ride his bike without training wheels when he was three http://corbinpartridge.blogspot.com/2008/11/crash.html and now just recently he goes without a push to get started and so he has become very independent and harder to keep track of (We thought we lost him but we found he down throwing rocks in the creek after a 1/2 hour). Usually as soon as he is awake he has slipped his john deer cowboy boots on and is out for a bicycle ride up the street. He checks under the rocks in the front yard for any caterpillars or rolly polly bugs and then he is ready for breakfast. Did I mention that he has a pair of handcuffs around the handlebars of his bike, "just in case I find a bad guy" he tells me. He is all about getting bad guys and tells me all the time he wants to go to Iraq to get them!

Anna and Cole

Young Authors Conference

Anna was invited to a young authors conference. They learned how authors and illustrators write and publish books. She took a book that she had written to share with her group. It was a great learning experience for her. We were excited for her to be chosen.

Life Role Model

Anna was given the Life Role Model at school. She has done an excellent job at school and seems to be like a fish in water when it comes to being in class. She loves school and seems to be excelling tremendously.

Cousin's Camp

We had cousin's camp at Grandma's house. Everyone had fun visiting "Best Friends" animal sanctuary, tie dying t-shirts, hunting for Easter eggs and going for a hay ride. It was nice to have most of our family together for the day.

Grandma's swing update

I forgot to mention that Grandma's swing is fun until your arms slip or you forget to hold on tightly enough. Cole slipped and got a few scratches. Anna wasn't so lucky as the picture shows.

Grandma's Swing

Grandma has a fun swing behind her house. You start at the top of the hill and swing to the bottom.

Hiking at Zion

During Spring Break we went hiking in Zion National Park with our cousins. It was a beautiful day to hike to "Weeping Rock."

Ice Skating at Lantern Road

Anna and I went Ice Skating with her school. We were a little slow and cautious at first, but it didn't take long for us both to get the hang of it. I think we even let go of the wall once or twice.

Another tooth gone

Crazy Hair Day

Anna had crazy hair day at school. We put tiny ponytails all over in her hair and sprinkled it with glitter. She thought it was funny.

Our Family Picture

One thing about this picture is that DAD sure has long legs!!!!!

Tae Kwon Do

Cole has been taking Tae Kwon Do this year and has really enjoyed it. It think the best part is the cute outfit he gets to wear. I couldn't let the resist getting some pictures of him before he went to his class.

Spring feels just around the corner..... :)

The Prettiest Smile

Anna's first lost tooth. We love her smile.

Valentine's Day

We had a fun Valentine's Day. Cole had a party at his school and Anna was invited. They had fun licking marshmellows into hearts and getting their faces painted. Grandma Jane came too. Anna had a party in her class and they played bingo and made a heart valentine. Anna and Cole had fun looking at all of the valentine's their friends made them.
