Kyrie Freestyling @ Nationals, May 22, 2010
Kyrie took 1st place in Freestyle. She was up against several other girls her age. The 2nd cutest (although equally ranked, for sure) freestyle I saw was EvVah Fewkes. The 2 year old was absolutely adorable!
Western Nationals May 21-22, 2010

Kyrie had 2 team dances, and her team took first place for both of those dances.
Lessons Learned about Gardening Thus Far
Perennial herbs like sage do well in the cold, and are safe to be planted around April 15th. Broccoli is a cold weather plant and can also be planted around April 15th, and it survives light freezes.
Peas need a trellis system (so they can climb while they grow), but should be planted outdoors March 15th (I didn't plant mine early enough, or with a trellis).
Corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, watermelon, cucumbers, honeydew, and cantaloupe should NEVER be planted before May 15th, unless they are well covered/insulated. (I don't think I'll try bothering with covering them or buying them before May 15th.)
It's been good to learn about gardening. Hopefully I'll have enough figured out before next year to actually be successful.
I also found out the church has a website that is very informative about gardening: Provident Living

Garden Progress Part II, May 20, 2010
Our new watermelon starts
Our new pumpkin starts
Some new tomato starts
Peas that came through ... I didn't know I needed a trellis until after I planted the peas (will place a trellis next year).
This picture doesn't do it justice, but the picture of the broccoli plants shows they're doing well, especially since they started out the same size our cauliflower plants are in the other posts' pictures.
Plant Progress 5/20/2010
Our newly purchased cauliflower (to replace the dead corn plants).
Sweet Basil and English Thyme (to replace the dead lemon basil)
Our still-surviving sage and other herb.
Some of our raspberry starts
Our still-surviving strawberry plants (left from the previous owners).

Bountiful Baskets
I've picked up about 4 bountiful baskets now, and am so glad what it's doing for our family.
Kyrie, my picky eater, has actually tried spinach and cauliflower. She doesn't like them, but she tried them. She also tried and LOVED honeydew.
I don't always buy a very good variety of produce, so it's nice to try new things without spending too much money.
I also think it helps motivate us to try harder to eat more fruits and vegetables each day. We're getting closer to the five that are recommended, instead of the one every other day we were eating before.

Garden Pictures
This is one of the pictures I took of out garden. We had a bad hail storm that killed several of our plants, so once the weather warms up again in a week or two, we plan on buying some new starts. our broccoli looks really good. The spices look good. The corn and tomatoes look like they might pull through. The raspberry starts are doing great, and the strawberries are starting to look really green and healthy; and the pumpkin starts look okay. We need to replace the cucumber, watermelon, and canteloupe starts, though.You may notice the hummingbird feeder (Kyrie calls it the "poky bird" feeder). We are considering also getting a seed bird feeder. Kyrie is so excited to hopefully get to see hummingbirds this summer.
Registration
I registered Kyrie for preschool through the Davis County school system this weekend, and will find out some time between May 8th and May 25th whether or not she got in. I'm hoping she got in because: 1. they have a set curriculum, 2. the classes are taught at the school she will be attending Kindergarten at, and 3. I don't really want to look around for preschools.
I also registered Kyrie for swim lessons in July and Ally for a mom & me swim class that runs the same time (so she won't have to avoid the temptation to get in the pool with Kyrie... she can take a class too). I'm excited to have Kyrie take swim lessons again.
We took Kyrie to Primary Children's Medical Center yesterday, because her pediatrician found a loud heart murmur and wanted her to be seen by a Pediatric Cardiologist. We found out that her murmur is what's called an "innocent heart murmur," meaning that there is no hole in her heart, and there is no arrhythmia. She is perfectly healthy, but the sound of the blood running through her heart is really loud because of her young, thin(ner) heart wall. The innocent heart murmur will not be as noticeable as she gets older and her heart wall gets thicker. May I just say "phew!!" I'm so glad that there's nothing wrong.
