Guess what?  We've got baby bunnies!  I gated a small spot at the side of our house so our rabbits would have more room to run and play.  This also gave them the ability to dig burrows!  These little bunnies were effectively hidden away in a burrow until just this week when Cheyenne found them.  There are three and they are very shy but aren't they sooooo cute??  Cali and Cheye are in bunny heaven.  They just wish they'd stay out longer each day.

On Monday of this week we had another honor in our family when Calianne won the Tiger of the Month for her class!  Yay, Cali!!  Now I just have to take her for her free Sonic Kid's Meal!


She picked that cute fish for her prize!
On Tuesday, Sarah and Megan got sworn in at the City Council meeting as members of the Youth City Council for the coming year.  Sarah and Megan were kind of unimpressed, but their dad and I thought it was pretty cool!

They have these cool matching Springville polo shirts!
Speaking of matching shirts, Savannah and Sarah worked together twice this week.  I just had to take their picture in their Funfinity shirts and nametags!

We've had crazy weather this past week.  The twins had tennis Monday but it got canceled Wednesday.  Sometimes it is sunny and beautiful and 15 minutes later it is cloudy and cold and spitting rain!  At least everything is green.  And when it is sunny, it is wonderful.  Mariah got a chance to do some outdoor reading even.

What a cool chair, right??!
Friday's track meet was a case in point as it started out in the rain with clouds from horizon to horizon.  Mariah ran her mile with a time of 6:13 and placed second.  Then Meg ran her 400 with a time of 1:06 and placed third.  They both ran the 800.  Mariah placed first and Meg second!  Then the sun came out and it was beautiful and there were blue skies!  And Kevin and I had to leave.  But while we were gone, they did great in their 4x400 relays.

Kevin and I needed to leave because we went up to Salt Lake to meet my Aunt Connie.  We all went to the temple again to do family names for sealings.  It was really awesome.  We love doing that and are so glad she invites us!

Saturday morning was the Goldilocks Bike Ride! Yay!  Sarah, Mariah, and I all went up to ride.  It was an all-women's ride and they are my only daughters with nice bikes, so I signed them up!  It was very fun.  We were signed up for the 20 mile ride which was the shortest of all the choices.  There were two rest stops stocked with food and drinks and lots of fun people to ride with and to cheer for us along the way.  However, there was a headwind with rain and hail for several miles . . . while we went up a hill that never ended, of course.  That was the part that gave us bragging rights, so it was all good!  At the end, we got to have a yummy lunch.  It was great.  I got lots of comments on my bike.  As we crossed the finish line they announced our names and city.  When I crossed, the announcer said, "And on the coolest bike I've ever seen . . . Katy Skinner from Springville!". Pretty exciting, right?  It was a great memory maker even if we got very cold!

Before the race! -- when the sun was still shining!

After the race with my friend who did 40 miles.
We got these cute necklaces for finishing!
Meanwhile, back at the farm . . . or house.  The little kids had spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa Gazdik's.  They love doing that!  So, Kevin and Megan ran in a local (free!) 5K. Megan came in around 25 minutes and Kevin came in around 23:30.  They had great fun and it didn't even rain on them!

Today was Mother's Day!  Kevin made me a lovely breakfast and helped with a lovely dinner at Grandma Gazdik's house.  I got lots of lovely cards from people professing love for me -- which are the best kind don't ya know!  It was a lovely day and I love being a mother!
I have to say that Beth and I agree on this one!!
