Sunday Sketches

The Sunday after Valentine's Day this year, Jeremy and kids did Sunday Sketches of a Bewick's Wren. It was based on a wren we saw in Oregon on our trip in 2024 (see post from July 21, 2024).

Jet- So Jet didn't draw a Bewick's Wren. In Primary his teacher helped him draw a Valentine axolotl. Why not?

 

Sunday Sketches

Remember that Cooper's Hawk from our trip to Farmington Bay in February?

Jeremy decided to use it for Sunday Sketches one week. Here are the results:

Superb Owl Sunday Sketches

In September I took the kids to Back to Hogwarts Night at the Orem Library. Nichole took this picture of an owl while we were there.

This was the picture they based Sunday Sketches on for Superb Owl Sunday.

For Sunday Sketches, Jet requested a bat so this is what they came up with:

Sunday Sketches

It's been a while but Sunday Sketches are back. Jeremy, Nichole, Lucky, and Jet sketched that hermit thrush that Jr. Jr. and I saw while hiking. They used that picture I shared as reference.

 

Here's Jeremy's

Nichole's 

 

Lucky's. He got a later start than the others so didn't draw as much.

 

Jet's. He started out telling me about the head and tail he was drawing. Then he decided to embellish. "I made that bird and a machiner attached to the robot bird." Then he decided to really embellish so the original picture is lost in there somewhere. 

I love seeing the art my family creates. 

Superb Owl Sunday 2023

February 12 was the Super Bowl. We don't care about football. What we do care about are birds. So a nice relaxing walk around a cemetery is appropriate for Superb Owl Sunday. Last year it was just Jeremy and me. This year we brought along all the kids except Jr. Jet fell asleep on the drive so I stayed in the van while Jeremy, Nichole, Jr. Jr., and Lucky looked for owls and collected owl pellets.

They heard a great horned owl but weren't able to spot it. They still got to hear that superb owl.

When we got home I threw a freezer meal in the instant pot because we were running out of time.

 

Earlier in the day we went to church at my sister's ward. Her daughter is in the same ward and my niece's husband was blessing their new baby and my sister was giving a talk. During Sacrament Meeting, Jeremy, Nichole, and Lucky were all drawing a superb owl- a great gray owl. I won't show you the original picture since it's not ours but here are their "Sunday Sketches."

In order- Jeremy, Nichole, and Lucky.

I accidentally ripped Lucky's picture but you can still see it. Well done, everybody.
