May
May starts out with May day of course... Each year the kids and I have taken the first cuttings off our Lilac bush, and place little baskets of flowers on the door handles of the family and dear friends.
Ash's pinky finger got caught in her shovel while she was helping Paul weed.
She was so hysterical I had to get a picture. Literally two seconds after I snapped this picture she pulled her finger out
This is a picture of Byron Yankee, an old friend of our family, and mom's first principal in Nampa. This is at the opening of the Time Capsaul that was put into the wall of the cafeteria at the end of the first year that Greenhurst was open. I bet none of us thought that any of our children would go to Greenhurst when it was opened.
My kids fall asleep in the strangest positions sometimes!!!
Paul came home from work to find Brennen sleeping like this...
A typical day in the Life of Addie

When it comes to anything science related, mom isn't good enough... We have to go to the family expert on science-granilani-, or that's Ash's thinking. She needed to do research on a dinosaur of her choice, and since we Rogers/Tampas Women never do anything the easy way, mom looked up a dinosaur none of us have heard of. Mom and Ash decided to do a to "scale" model of one of its claws. Ashlynn read several short paragraphs for information, and was able to answer questions mom asked her about them. We then put all those question together this Q&A peek-a-boo tri-fold. Ash recieved an E++ on it, and it was very different from all the other dioramas that the other students did. Mrs. Fred. even asked to have it for an example for next year. Ashlynn was so excited!!!

There's NO Crying in Baseball
March/April/May
One of dad's favorite quotes is from a League of Their Own, and Tom Hanks' Character is yelling at the girls and he says,"Are you crying, There's No Crying in Baseball.
On the morning of the leagues Jamboree, our team had to be there at 7:30 am for Pictures and an 8:30 game. We all know how unpredictable Idaho weather can be. One year we got sunburns at the Jamboree, because it was nearly 90. But it was so cold the kids were crying and didn't want to play.
Ash was on the Lookouts this year. Her coach, Steve Green, was in mom and dad's ward.
The team spent a lot of time practicing hitting, and not so much on fielding. It's interesting, you can tell what the different teams coach's emphasised during practices when it came to the games. There was really only two teams in the league that had the whole package, but they were also the teams that had had little to no changes from last year, and had been together for the two year age bracket.
Ash had fun, but still had ants in her pants while waiting for the beep, beep, beep of the pitching machine. There were a total 5 girls in the league this year. The girls softball league called us several times trying to recruit her, but Ash is adamant, she doesn't want to play with the girls.
Ash was introduced to sunflower seeds this season. That is what she is trying to dig out of her back pocket, while she was playing second. Second base was the position where she made the most outs. She was also one of three kids on her team that could make the throw from third to first.
She had a fun season, and is always sad to see it end.

Remember Einstein
April
One day a couple of years ago, I caught Brennen copying the Einstein pictue in our classroom.
Well the "Easter Bunny" brought him this shirt. To bad the "Easter Bunny" couldn't find one in a bigger size.
