I spy with my little eye...

Aunt Melanie, one loose cheetah, and one behind bars. A kid sized sink, and a girl in pink. Two amazing boys, and one Walter Wick exhibit that has got us spying a little bit of everything!
To explain, we had one very eventful week full of fun activities. Wednesday, Aunt Melanie flew in from Spokane for her sister's graduation from the Y. We made the best of a short visit, and BBQ'd and badminton'd our hearts out. We miss you already Mel!



Ellie's class got to research an animal of their choice, and then give a zoo-style presentation on Friday morning. She made one sweet cheetah. Good job Ellie!
Cheetah's probably should be behind bars while at school!
Sydney really loved how everything was her size at Ellie's school.
Haddon's school has an accelerated reading program, where they are given points based on the difficulty of their books read. He and a classmate were the only two of the entire first grade to earn the 75 point award Friday morning. Go Haddon! And hurry up and finish the 3rd Harry Potter Book so we can read the 4th one together buddy!
Saturday we went to see the Walter Wick "I Spy" exhibit at BYU's Museum of Art. The kids were EcStAtIc to be there, since they are HUGE fans. It was really interesting to see and read about his creative process.
Paige had a mind of her own while there - so we tried to contain her.
This was the actual prop used in one of the books. Amazing amounts of work must have gone into it.
And we were only slightly embarrassed to get reprimanded for taking photos right after this shot. In our defense, there were absolutely NO signs, anywhere, asking for no photography.
