The Snow Family

Keira went to preschool at Ogden High School this year. This was super cool because this is where Daddy works, which meant that he got to go see her at times. She loved all of her friends and teachers and learned so much. She can write her name all by herself now and teaches us all sorts of fun songs. She is even helping Ryder learn the alphabet.

Ryder has an awesome bike. Unfortunately, it's pink. Roger thinks this is terrible and wants to paint it a manly color. I think pink is the new manly color. I thought that maybe blue training wheels and a blue helmet would help, but Roger pointed out that they are both powder blue and only makes things worse. I hope Ryder will get over the trauma of riding a pink bike. Savanna looks so much like Keira...it's a good thing Keira is a cutie! Savanna and Keira also have similar personalities and characteristics (as babies, anyway). Keira started sleeping through the night at 5 weeks old, Savanna started at 7 weeks. Savanna is incredibly happy and easy going, just like Keira was. We are lucky to have such good kids and we love them all so much. Playing in the fire pit. Savanna at 4 months old.

Roger's birthday was also in April. We had so much fun. One of his favorite memories from a birthday when he was a kid is when his sister, Kathy, made him a Cookie Monster cake. So, to celebrate his 35th birthday, Kathy made him another one. She did a fantastic job and the kids were just as excited as Roger was to eat it.

Ryder turned 3 years old in April. I made him a delicious carrot cake with goat cheese frosting (it tasted much better than it looks) and Ryder couldn't get enough of it. He got cars and a racetrack from Grandma Snow...anyone who knows Ryder knows that he LOVES race cars. He got a skateboard from Grandma and Grandpa Goodman...Ryder also has a love of skateboards. He is quite the daredevil, so I was a little nervous about what would happen with a skateboard. However, he knows the rules and he only sits on it for now when he is outside. He also got some punching "gloves" from the Pearces, which he loves to torment us with. He had a great day and is already counting down to when he turns 4!

Roger took Ryder Skiing before the season ended this year. We were set up a little better than when Keira went. We put a harness on Ryder so that he could ski in front of Roger without getting out of control. He absolutely loved it and did really well. He still talks about skiing in the mountains with daddy. His favorite part of the whole day was when Dad fell down in the snow.
