Winter Came!

After hitting mid 70s in Febuary, and having a mild March, I was almost ready to pack away the winter clothes and dress the boys in shorts until September.

Glad I waited... Sort of. 

Kite Weather

We live on the west benches of the valley... and that means that we get an awesome wind.

And when a storm is coming, we get an even better one.

Today, was beautiful... except for the wind.

So we made the best of it by pulling out some cheap kites, and heading for the field behind the school.

I was surprised at how much the boys enjoyed it, and we ended up spending close to two hours flying kites!

So, Random Mail.

We randomly received a letter from the Department of Interior today.  

Addressed to Evan. 

Are you aware there is a contest for young artist called "The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program" 

I wasn't either.

BUT

Now we know, because Evan won a spot in the final's for the state of Utah!

Now we have to wait a month to find out what place he took AND see his Duck.  

(He says it's a common mallard flying through the air.)

But HOW COOL IS that??
