Kennadee's World

Miss Kennadee loves to take pictures.  She got a camera for Christmas and uses it all the time, but I haven't loaded anything on the computer yet.  She often steals our cell phones and takes pictures with those also.  This Sunday, when I loaded some pictures for an e-mail to Mike's parents, I found she had taken my camera this week also.  This is just so I have a memory of what Kenna wanted to capture at age 5.  My favorites are the self-portraits.  I tried to make a slide-show, but I couldn't get it to work today.  Go figure.

Why I love USU Basketball

Here's a couple of examples of why the games are so much funhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARpzavb7PQk

Go AGGIES!

I love Utah State Basketball.  It's so much fun to go to the games.  We have a terrific coach, who believes in a team approach to playing and so much fun to watch.  We also have an awesome student section.  We try and go to a few a the games every year.  Someday I'll have season tickets.  Anyway, they made the NCAA.  Go AGGIES!

It always amazes me how I feel busy and seem to be, but when I sit down here to write, I can't think of anything.  Who wants to record another day of laundry and cleaning bathrooms?  Anyway, here's some odds and ends from the Wallaces.

Katie will pretty much only wear skirts to church.  In December, I started looking for some new ones, and couldn't find anything.  Who knew it would be so hard.  (Now there are skirts all over the place for spring  So Kate and I took a trip to the fabric store.  This skirt she has on is the first thing I have made without a purchased pattern.  She had a brown skirt before that she loved but grew out of.  I liked the style, but couldn't find a pattern, so I made my own by using her old skirt.  It was a challenge for me, so that made it fun. 

Chase's teacher does a reward system for exercise.  They kids turn in a point for every twenty minutes of activity and that equals one mile.  They are tracking their progress on a map of the US trying to get from East to West coast using Route 66.  Everytime they cross a state, they get to have a party, themed with that state.  Friday, I got to go do an Oklahoma party.  We went with cowboy games and they loved this one, trying to lasso a "cow".  Most kids had never used a lasso, but one girl was a pro.  Did you know Beaver, Oklahoma is the cow chip throwing capital of the world?  There is a contest there every April, if you want to give it a try.

  Connor doesn't really let me take his picture often.  This is just a picture of how he looked today.  Love this kid.
