Sun? What?

Yesterday afternoon it was beautiful outside so we decided to go on a little walk. Calyn rode the new bike she got for Christmas and Rylan rode in the wagon he got for Christmas! They were so excited to get outside finally so I had to document it. The funniest part was that right when we got out there and all situated to go it started sprinkling but luckily it was just a little rain cloud and it passed right after it started so we were good to go! We are hoping for more and more of these in the days to come, but considering we are in Idaho, it is doubtful.

As for an update, Softball has started and we are practicing in the gym, which makes for a not so pleasant practice all cooped up inside so the good weather is doubly anticipated!! If it wasn't for my ever helpful Mom, sister in law Melissa, and Mother in law who take turns with my kids, I wouldn't be able to coach, so THANKS a million! Although I am excited for softball season, I am also a little nervous for the craziness I will be spiralling into, being a preschool teacher, softball coach, Primary chorister, and full time mother all at the same time. Goodbye lazy afternoons! We also are excitedly anticipating the return home of my cute little sister Demi from Utah State for her spring break this Fri.

Calyn is loving preschool, she asks every night before bed if she gets to go to preschool in the morning. She almost has her name writing down, she knows all of her letters except Z, W, and U, they are still a little tricky for her. She also has the Pledge of Allegiance memorized! Ask her and she will recite it for you. She also can't wait for her 4th birthday coming up on the 17th (my little lucky charm :) )She is a sweetheart and loves to help with dishes and vacuuming! Let's hope that never goes away! (wink, wink)

Rylan is getting some molars so he has been a little cranky, but is still my soft hearted little buddy who loves to give kisses and can now say "owee" to add to his vocabulary. He is starting to look like a little boy instead of just a toddler more and more everyday. He loves to give us things and say "thank you", I think he is just a little confused, but it is too cute to try and correct!

Devin is still working hard out at the site, hating the bus ride in the evening, but loving it in the morning for his naps. He is wrapping up a season of coaching church Basketball which he loved and I believe was very successful. He is looking forward to doing some shed hunting with his hunting buddy Corey. He is also being VERY strong in our food challenge. We have challenged ourselves to eat mostly salads, veggies, and fruit; Devin for 100 days and me for 60. We are 23 days into it and going strong (most of the time anyway) This is the hardest diet we have ever tried! It is a version of the raw diet for all of you diet gurus.

Anyway, sorry so long, hope you enjoy the pics and we hope to hear from all of you soon (like maybe in the comments tab!! hehe)
If you look at the sidewalk you can see the raindrops!

Hey!Good to her from you! Now about the pictures. If you got to HTML on your post page you can change the size of your pictures. It will say something to the effect of blah, blah, blah..... width: 363px; height: 400px;" /s400/DSC .....blah, blah, blah....

You need to change these numbers: width:736 (x by 2) height: 800 (x by 2) Then down a little further it says /s400/DSC you need to change that number to s800

Man that sounds really confusing!! Let me know if you need me to explain in better. I can email you. That might be easier! Also how are you editing your pictures? How do you get that glow? They look beautiful!!
