Hannah,

On April 28 2015 I started to paper mâché. I started it on a turtle made out of two balloons and two and a half of toilet paper tubes. I cut the two paper tubes in half and they were the leg. I put the half on as a neck touching the two balloons. It is Awsome.

It is finally starting to get warmer. We had a nice day yesterday, but it was a little windy. It was warm enough to be able to do spelling outside, and we had the door open a lot. It is supposed to be warmer today than yesterday. It is nice to be able to play outside. We are reading some fun books right now. I am rereading the Janitors series, and I would like to thank the Bevans for suggesting it. We can't wait for the next book to come out. It is a great series. Mom is reading a series called Ever After High to us. Dallin says he doesn't like it, because he thinks it is a girly book, but he still gets into it. It is about fairy tale charectors children, who go to a high school called ever after high. There the kids are told that they have to relive their parents tales, or else the story, and all of the kids in that story will "go poof". One of the main charectors of the story wants to relive her parents tale, one does not! It is really fun and mysterious! Hannah and I have already read it, and I chose the first book. Then it was Eliza's turn, and she chose the second book. I am so excited for the next family reunion!! For everyone who doesn't already know, I am planing a Christmas Program for a lot of the kids. Here is a list of everyone: McKenna, Annie, Hannah, Leah, Grace, Dallin, Will, Neal, Eliza, Shelby, Luke, Esther, Audry, Claire, Tommy. I am almost finished planning it. If anyone has an idea on what to use or how to make a sheep, please email me. If anyone wants to sing a song, read a poem, dance, anything like that, please email my. Thanks! - McKenna

On April 27 2015 Monday my family cleaned out the garage. Dad moved the van out of the garage. And then we took all our bikes out and swept the floor. We Moved boxes around. McKenna and I organized a box with tapes and videos. Some of the tapes had containers and some of the containers were empty. So I made a notes book for my notes. We put the bikes back and we put the van back. We have lots of baby stuff in the garage.

On April 17 2015 Friday we played outside and we jumped rope. Mom and McKenna would turn the rope and we would take turns jumping in and out. It was so fun. I would some times trade with McKenna so she could jump.

There was a peace of twine on the wall with little baby socks and a onesie clothes pinned on. We brought some drinks. We brought orange juice and chocolate milk and lemonade and sprite and another pop bottle. The drinks were good the pizza was good. And it was fun.

April 23 2015 Today is sunny and warm! We have had some sunny days, but they weren't very warm. The other kids built a tent/tree house, and it looks really cool. We are doing school, and today we are trying something new for spelling. It is called Silent Spelling, and we have to sign the words, instead of saying them. Almost everyone in our family knows the American Sign Language. I know some words, but not very many. When we go outside, we like to hola hoop, jumprope, play games like tag and just walk around. We have a nice yard, but it isn't nice to mow. :) there are a lot of hills. So, where ever you are, when you have time, go enjoy outside. Walk, talk, run, you're u should be able to find something to do. -McKenna

On April 22 2015i deep cleaned my job. My job is the bathroom. (Jobs in my house are like chores.) McKenna helped me deep clean my job. I did the closet with all the towels and sheets and pillow cases. I had to fold most of them in the front room and mom told me to throw away some of the sheets but we asked if we could keep them to play outside with. She said yes. After we did our school work we got to go outside and make a house in our tree house thing. Dallin and I put the sheets up. It looks really cool.

On April 22 2015 I fond my pressed flowers while getting things out to play. It was in a book that I was planning to use as a floor for the yard of the people I was playing as. I'm still not sure what was going on with the flower and receipt.but I'm glad I found the flowers.

Hannah,

On April 15 2015 it was McKenna's Birthday. And she wanted to have the decorations based on the book called Alice in wonderland. So she made a bunch of paper hats that she could tape to the wall in the dinning room. I made a card that was taped to the wall out of streamers. And the hats would fit almost perfect on the card.

All of us kids wore a hat that we either made or found in the house. I made mine and McKenna's hats. My hat was a top hat. McKenna's hat was a cardboard plate and a tea cup made out of toilet paper tubes. How it stayed is because I connected a headband to it. Dallin's hat he Made out of cardboard. He made a cardboard helmet. Eliza used a headband and put cat ears on the headband. Esther wore a winter hat.

McKenna I made cake cones. We put the batter in a few separate bowls and then put food coloring in the batter. We then put at least two different colored batters in one cone and with some cones we used a tooth pick to stir them to make a swirl. The cake cones were really yummy.

Hannah,

On Sunday April the 19 the other kids and mom went to church dad and I were home and I was looking for some flowers that I pressed. I couldn't find them so I went back up stairs. Then when they got home from church and I went down stairs I found a flower on a gas receipt. And nobody knows anything about it. And I don't think that the wind blew it there it was in to perfect of a place surrounded by books and set up to perfect to have been the wind. It was really weird.

Eliza is going out with Mom and Dad today. We get to go out to celebrate our eighth birthday. So the rest of us will have a babysitter. This is our first time with her. I am starting to learn sign language. Some of it is hard to remember, but it is a lot of fun. I can sign the whole alphabet, and a few other words. I learned it in a book from the library. Rain, rain, rain! I am tired of rain. It goes on and off. It is really frustrating when it rains while we are outside, and then we have to come in. Speaking of outside, I am currently working on a hula hoop routine. I can hula hoop up around my neck, and then I can make it go back to my stomach. I can also jump rope with it, and hula hoop around my legs. It is fun to hula hoop. -Mckenna Drysdale

Hannah,

On April 1 after lights out and I fell asleep, I woke up. I woke up in the shower. The water was going and I didn't know why I was in the shower. I washed my hair and put conditioner in my hair and then I got out. I started to go into the girls bedroom but the other kids were in there. So I went back into the bathroom and found that my p.j.s were where I usually put them when I take a shower. I got dressed and went down stairs and told mom what happened. I was really upset about it. Then when I brushed my hair it was the easiest I have had for a long time.

On the 1 day of April activity days was canceled for the third time in a row. But I got to go to mutual with McKenna and mom. We made hair bows. It was fun.

Well, this is the third sunny and warm day. I am so glad to be able to play outside. I tried, unsuccessfully, to hula-hoop and jump rope at the same time. I need a smaller hula-hoop. The hula-hoop kept getting caught on the jump rope, and that would stop it from spinning. I don't know if you get the friend magazine, but inside, they usually put a game inside. In one of the older issues, I found a game called Musical Dress-Up. You fill a big bag with a lot of dress up stuff that should fit everyone. The bigger the better. Next, choose someone to be it, and they control the music. Everyone else stands in a circle. Start the music, and pass the bag around. When the music stops, whoever is holding the bag grabs something from the bag with their eyes closed. Then they put it on. Start the music again, and pass the bag around. Continue until all the clothes are gone. Whoever has the most clothes on, or whoever looks the funniest wins. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds really fun.

On March 31 we played with Legos. I made a floor and a house with a fence. I also made a bunch of flowers for a garden by the house.

We went to the park and played for a few hours. It was really fun. I climbed in a leaning tree at the park. It's got to trunks that lean in different directions.

I am planning to use some pressed flowers to make a book mark or two. At a baby shower I won one of the games and the prize was a bunch of flowers. When they started dieing I put them in a book and put more books on top of it. I am going to laminate the book mark so the flowers don't come a part.

I love to climb trees. We have some really good climbing trees in our yard. One of the trees is a helicopter trees. The other one is a apple tree. I like to climb the helicopter tree better then the apple tree.
