Multi-Cultural Day

One of great things we love about Rancho is the exposure to all of the different cultures.
On Multi-Cultural Day the entire school decorated their classrooms for a specific country. Each child was encouraged to dress up for the class country or their own heritage. They were also able to bring in a food or drink from another country to share with the whole school.
During the day the class toured each class and got to meet people from other countries, make a craft and even try on items. It was such a great experience for all the kids and they loved it. Kayla has always been interested in all of the other culturals and wants to travel around the world when she older. This gave her the opportunity to see where she might want to visit first!

Each child received a passport and at each stop they had it stamped. It even had each of the kids picture inside of it:) It was so cute!

Kayla and Ava

Aishling's family is from Ireland. She performed an Irish dance in front of the entire school and did an amazing job!

Egg Hunt

We were invited to join my cousin Shannon and her family at her husbands work Easter party.
The kids were so excited to go. They had an egg hunt for all the kids, games, petting zoo & face painting. It was a great way to practice for Easter Day!

Thank you Shannon and Luke for inviting us.

Snow much FUN:)

For spring break my friend Kim and I decided to pack up all the kids, leave the guys behind and head to Flagstaff. We stayed in a cute little cabin with plenty of snow for all the kids to play in right outside.

We drove up towards Snow Bowl to find a hill for the kids to go sleding. We found a great spot right off the rode and the kids had a blast.
James and Kayla had a snowball fight that was hilarious to watch.
Haylie and Kaylie did a pretty good job walking up the hill to sled down. They both loved going down on the sled.
Haylie was so cute pulling Kaylie around in the sled.
Here are some pics from our trip.

Sycamore Fun!!!

This is the 1st time in many years that Sycamore Creek actually has water!

We were so excited to show the kids what it looked like when Jimmy and I used to go when we were dating. We had so much fun splashing through the water.

The kids had a blast building a dam in the creek and looking for gold:)

On the way out for our ride Jimmy lost his magnetic water bottle he had just got. We retraced our steps to try and find it but had no luck. On our way back to camp Kayla and I were in the lead and this is what we found. Someone was nice enough to hang it up on the tree for us to see!! Kayla was so excited to show Jimmy that we had found it:D
