WhY Are We sO hAppY GrAndPA PoOpeD?

Yesterday, Jeremie took the kids on a 10.2-mile bike ride along the Jordan River Parkway Trail. We stopped at a couple of the parks along the trail for breaks, but by the end of the ride, Teya's legs were "mush". She was the only one who didn't have a 10-speed bike, and while everyone else could pedal at a casual pace, Teya's legs were non-stop turning. Jeremie enjoyed the trip as Teya was full of questions:

.

"Do kids have to move out of the house when they grow up?"

(A: Yes)

.

"Why?"

(A: So they can start their own families)

"Hey, Dad. . .When you grow up are you going to get a dog?"

(A: I am grown up)

.

"Dad. . . Why were we so happy when Grandpa pooped?"

(A: ____________[fill in the blank with your own smart answer])

.

At a park along the Jordan River Trail.

Yes, it's a mountain bike with a carrier seat.

Kyle's Baptism & Cara's BB Game

March was a fun month for the Snowders. On Saturday, March 6, we welcomed everyone in town for Kyle's baptism. It was a special day and we enjoyed all of the relatives who were there to celebrate the special occasion.

Jeremie has two more tries to find a baptism jumpsuit that fits.

Kyle also earned his Bobcat rank in Cub Scouts. Way to go Kyle!

March was also Cara's and Sarah's (coach) last basketball game. Our team only had four players, and when the game started, the opponent's coach put in only four players and kept about another four on the bench. However, after a couple of trips down the court, a fifth girl in was rushed in. The should have put all eight in. The following video is an example of how the game went. Cara's team is in blue, and Cara is the one bringing the ball down the side of the court and taking the first shot.

Cara has her parent's no-mercy genes. Though they didn't score on this trip down the floor, if it were a competitive game, the score was 38 - 4. However, as Cara's team ran up the score, they started to get only one point per basket rather than 2, so the scoreboard was a more respectable 28 - 4, or something like that.

I'll See You Tomorrow At Church

Last night, as I (Jeremie) tucked Teya into bed, I commented that I would see her tomorrow at church. She responded with a smile, "Dad! . . .We're family! (meaning that we don't have to wait until church to see each other)." I just meant that since I leave for church at 6:30 a.m. and that she would still be asleep, that I wouldn't see her until she came to church. Anyway, I love the 9:00 a.m. church so that I can come home at a decent time. However, I think that it is tough on Sarah as she gets herself and the kids up in the morning to try to come on time.
