DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
**Warning! This is a long post with lots of pictures as I try to play catch-up for April :)**
Darwin got a big scouting award! About a year and a half ago he attended Wood Badge, a week long training for scout leaders. As part of the training, each leader had to make 5 goals called "tickets" and complete them within a given amount of time. Darwin has had a lot going on, but he was able to complete his goals and earn his Wood Badge beads. His dad was able to present him with his beads because he also has completed the Wood Badge training. Darwin's dad was his Scoutmaster when he was young and it has made a huge impact on his life. Darwin also received the Scoutmaster's Training Award that same evening. It was a special night and I'm so proud of Darwin for accomplishing such a huge task with everything else he has had on his plate. Yay, honey! I'm so proud of you!
Aurora is so much fun these days. She's always making us laugh with her silliness and surprising us with her smart little sassy self. Here's what Aurora's been up to this last month:
Practicing getting herself dressed
She ate her first smore! A Peep-smore even. Lucky girl!
That's not dirt. She ate part of a black crayon. Probably not the best thing for her diet ;)
Alphabet soup in the bath tub
Playing with mom's scarves
Cutie :)
Balloon in the bathtub--she had a blast with this!
Washing her dishes in the sink all by herself. I think this is a new favorite thing to do.
I frequently find her barbies like this after nap time :)
Lining up shoes and nail polish--I hope this isn't a sign of OCD. Mine is bad enough to deal with!
Eating the dessert nachos I made a couple weeks ago. They were pretty tasty if I do say so myself! :)

Savannah is such a little sweetie! It's amazing how much she changed from the beginning of April to the end. I already feel bad that we're not taking as many pictures and videos of her as we did of Aurora. Such is life as the 2nd child, I guess.
Playing peek-a-boo :)
Love those beautiful little peepers!
Lots of snoozing!
Wearing an outfit I wore when I was a baby :)
Sunday afternoon nap with Dad
Our little sleeping princess
She likes to sleep with her face covered sometimes

Well, that pretty much covers our miscellaneous April pictures. Stay tuned for more posts to come (when I get more blogging time, of course).
