March 2014

Welcome to March 2014.  It was proving to be a long and cold winter.  Love this pictures (above) of Melita and Ginger, peeking out the door, not sure they want to go out in that cold weather, even though the sunshine is beckoning to them.

I took Colter on a field trip up to Big Mountain, early in March on a bitterly cold day, to learn about Avalanche Safety and how to use Avalanche beacons and poles... 

Maya and I made PW Cinnamon Rolls one day in March.  We kept some and gave some away. They were so so yummy...

Colter took part in both our school level Science Fair and in our County Science Fair.  He won a first place ribbon and a Grand Champion award at the Country Science Fair...

Here is a picture of Colter with his airplane launcher and the paper airplane that went the farthest in the launcher...


Eldon and Uncle Dale and Grandpa Larry all came to visit us in March.  Here is Eldon playing a guitar that he made himself!..
It was good to get caught up with Uncle Dale and to spend some time with Grandpa...


Maya built bridges with cardboard and tape at school and Colter did the same thing at home.  Here they are testing their bridges to see who's is stronger...


One of the weekends in March, we met Keith, Melinda, and kiddos at Fair Mont Hotsprings.  Here is little Kendra taking her morning nap.  Pure sweetness...

Kyla took part in our School Science Fair, our Country Science Fair and the State Science Fair down in Missoula.  She received a First place and a Silver place award...

Here is a picture of her completed board.  She was able to turn and iPhone into a microscope...

Here she is, in the orange sweater in the center of the picture, waiting for her judges at the State Fair...

While Kyla was busy with the State Science Fair stuff, we enjoyed taking a look around UofM campus, where Grandpa Steve went to forestry school years ago...
The end of March saw warmer temperatures.  Here it was warm enough to head out on an evening walk with my girls...

And that pretty much sums up March.

All for now, Alison

Hi Alison! Fun to see all your recent updates! You've been very busy getting pictures updated - it's motivating to me to follow suit! :) I smiled when I noticed in this set of pictures the "Kindness Matters" sign - we have that exact sign hanging in our house too :)
