Earth Day 2022

Jet really wanted to get out so he and I went out for a drive in Provo Canyon while the kids were in school. It was a rainy day but the rain made things so fresh. I got out at one spot and the birds were very vocal. It was so nice.

It was nice to enjoy our beautiful world on Earth Day, April 22.

Speaking of birds, Jr. submitted a bird photo to the Earth Day contest at school again this year and won third place. Nice, Jr.

Woodhouse's Scrub Jay

 

And I kept with tradition and got a picture of Nichole and Jr. with their Earth Day shirts. To compare, here are pictures from the last couple years, as well. 

2020, 2021, and 2022

Jr. loves to see how much taller he's getting while Nichole has slowed down on her height growth.

Prize-Winning Kids

We entered an online photo contest and got picked as one of the winners (there are a lot of adorable kids on there).
Our caption must have been too long to put it on the site, but this is the caption to go along with the picture:
"Our two kids are always trying to help, sometimes the results are better than others. More laundry gets unfolded than folded, dust is swept in circles rather than into piles, and clean your room usually gets translated into "play with your toys." Often enough though, the sheer joy of watching them work and play together outweighs the extra time it takes to clean up after their "cleaning." If only they would learn not to drink from the dirty cups while washing them..."
