I am so excited about my straight teeth. It was a long 21 months but well worth the wait.

Congratulation Kaitlyn!

Congratulations Kaitlyn for making the High School Drill Team. She worked really hard at the practices, showing up at the school at 6:00 in the morning and staying till 6:00 at night to practice with some of the other girls. The team has been challenged to get along with the cheerleaders which have seen the team as stepping on their toes, and also they have been given the job to give the school SPIRIT. Kaitlyn has no dance background so she is thrilled to have made the team. You go girl.

Happy Birthday Sheree, Officially a teen, and so beautiful.

Sheree has always wanted to take her friends to the lazer assault for games, it was so fun!

And ice-cream after at the BYU creamery- yum, even mom couldn't resist

If you couldn't guess, this is a turtle, one of Sheree's fave animals.

The little ones are psyched for summer on this first day of real spring, it is barely 68, but they don't care this is just too fun.

I think spring has finally arrived in our backyard.

Snow Day

After all this snow since December, I realized that winter was almost done and that I hadn't taken the young kids sledding yet! The next day it snowed so we made a b-line for the park, a mile from our house. We did all the usual and took our time, we had fun sledding, making snow-angels and trying to play on the playground. We were having so much fun that Soph didn't even cry when she landed face down after a go at the hill.

We were the first and only ones at the park, that makes for tasty fresh snow cones.

My little angels making angels

My children are great actors. They were stopped so I could take a picture so I told them to act like they were still going down the hill.
