PBR in Prescott
The last weekend of April PBR came to town. It was the touring team. Great riders, good fun. Some friends from Gilbert came up and went with us. We sat right over the chutes. It was interesting to see them feed the bulls through and work the fences...

This year the 'Easter Bunny' hid eggs in the back yard instead of the baskets...
After a morning of hanging around the house, we headed down the mountain to Popo and Nana's. Love spending time with the family. We did something different this year and went out to eat. It was nice to have time to spend together visiting. Kids had fun hunting, playing, and talking about common shows that they watch (so funny)

School is wrapping up for the Clesceri household. Another end to another busy school year. They just keep going by. Soon we will say so-long to 7th, 5th, and 2d grades.
We pretty much missed posting about Spring this year. I will take some time to share some random pictures about random things we did and saw this spring.
Spring in Prescott was amazing! Beautiful! Just like every other season here so far. Can't believe we've been here almost a year. We got some late snow and it was amazing to see how in a matter of days, the sleepy, dull colors of winter all of a sudden were replaced by the bright, colorful freshness of Spring.
Love watching many different birds that inhabit our yard. They all got new colors for Spring as well. Beautiful red, yellow, blue, orange feathers to impress their mates. Needing to get a good bird book so I know what kinds they are.
We all have been spending our Saturdays in the yard, cleaning up what winter left behind. It's been fun to see the transformation. We got one of our fountains running and it is such a treat to sit out and hear the relaxing sound of water.
Centipede count is at 2 so far...assuming it will grow, but just one of the things to keep our eyes open for and keep us on our toes.
Bethany is getting all the details of her classes for next year ironed out. She will most likely be taking honors classes and then journalism and performance choir. She has also been starting to sing with the worship band at church on Wednesday nights. She is definitely looking forward to being done with 7th grade. She participated in a couple band concerts this spring as well, doing one solo and then another concert having the opportunity to play with the high school band again. She is practicing for the talent show this Monday singing a song with one of her friends.
Niko is very ready to be done with school. He has been busy working on several projects to get his lessons completed. One big one he's been working on is a huge report on The New Deal. He has finally finished it and did very well on it. He will be going to Skyview School in Prescott next year. There were three spots open for next year and he got one of them. He is very excited. We are really confident that this school will be a great fit for him and a good environment for him to learn in.
Matthew has been doing a report on polar bears the past few weeks. His teacher said that she has never seen a class so excited about this project. He also had a fun performance last week with his school; kind of an end of the year thing for music. He still struggles with his behavior at school, more so just not being quiet and playing too rough and running where and when he's not supposed to, things he knows he shouldn't be doing but keeps doing them anyway...Academically he has been a champ! He is amazing with spelling. He practices those words and gets 90-100% every week. Same with his math facts. He has a great memory. Definitely one of his strong points. He too is looking forward to this summer, especially because his birthday is coming up!
Mike and I have been continuing to work out at Crossfit Prescott. We love the people we work out with and the trainers. Great group of people. Mike feels himself getting stronger and his work in the gym shows it. We have also been in the process of teaching a parenting class online (Parents for Life). We are by no means expert parents, but we really have been blessed by the information and love teaching and sharing it with other people. We love the online dynamic too. Completely different than doing classes in person, but it has it's advantages as well.
We are ALL looking forward to this summer. Our little town is going to be booming with chaos and overloaded with people as it celebrates Arizona's 100th birthday. For some reason, being one of the oldest small towns in the state, people love to come here to visit the past...The 4th of July is always a crazy week but this year it will be even more crazy. No worries though for us. We have a couple trips planned to avoid all the ruckus. Wedding coming up and then off to Idaho for several weeks to visit with family. Yay!!
