It's National Kazoo Day! We wish you all marvelous celebrations of the same with freinds and loved ones. We only wish we could add our own enthusiasm to your festivities!

There have been some fun "goings-on" around here. Coy is now doing math with Grandpa Ruel nearly every day, and it is such an incredible blessing for us. Coy says Grandpa is the best math teacher he's ever had. Kudos and 1000 kazoos to Grandpa, xoxoxo, you're wonderful. Coy is so incredibly tall. He is so very good with Seth, Seth calls him MaMa and he often prefers him over everyone. Thanks Grandpa Roger for helping him shave his moustache! Coy taught art camp to all the kids off track. We saved his art lessons and did 3 a day with all the kids, he did great, and we counted that as their "off track ejumication".

Mckay's been getting up at 5, and he confessed the other day that he doesn't know how Grandpa Jello stands taking a cold shower every morning, because he hyperventilates. I asked him how long he showers on cold, and he said a minute or so. I told him I think a few seconds would be more than sufficient, and he was relieved. He is such a schedule steady Eddie, he definitely did not get that from his flightly mother. We're still having fun quizzing fun geography questions. He felt like he did pretty well on the written, so we're just pretending we're going to state and trying to be ready which is a joke.

Spence and I had tons of fun on the first Mommy date to Desert Star to see "Home School Musical". It was SO MUCH FUN! It's one of those things I have talked about forever even though I have never been there in my life. Grandma Carol was there as well. The home schoolers were Palmyra Kirtland, Linoleum Dynamite, LaVelcro Edwards, and Zac Teflon. It was so fun! Here is a picture with a clear shot of our nostrils. Spen is also having a lot of fun with his new bright blue electric bass guitar. He LOVES to plug it in!

Joseph, after soaking in every possible benefit from his ordeal, has rejoined the human race. He was excited Wednesday when he won the Pinewood Derby. Thank you so much to Grandpa Roger for helping them build their cars, and to Grandma for shopping all over town for shark stickers!

Seth loves to pull Annie's hair and this morning she said "my hair is CLOSED!" Annie learned to twist elastics tice and put them in her own hair. She was so excited that she had 7 in her hair last night.
