Sadie Graduates!!!!

Sadie graduated from "The Crayon Academy"! She was so excited to get a graduation cap and wear her favorite dress!

This is just some of the kids in her class. It was mostly a class full of girls. Only a couple of boys.

As soon as we got home from graduation, Sadie wanted her picture taken.

What a great model!

"Not yet out of the jungle"

Jessica graduated from Ephraim Middle School this last week. Their theme was "Not yet out of the Jungle". (They have no idea). Jessica received several awards from different classes and academic awards also. She got a 4.0 every single quarter this year. Way to go Jess!

Jessica and her dad danced one dance. I'm sure it was the most embarrasing thing that has ever happened to Jessica!!!!

Some of her friends.

These girls are happy to be going to high school. They can't wait to be freshmen! It seems like just yesterday that it was me who was excited to be going to high school. How time flies!!!!

1st tournament blue's

Mikaela's first accelerated tournament ever. She was very NERVOUS!!!!

Mikaela played 3rd base and left field.

Her team went 0-4. Not a great showing, but they should end up being pretty good.

Chelsea is helping out with the team. When she coached 3rd base, they made her wear a helmet because she isn't 18. Everyone got a good laugh out of that.

The weather in St. George was really nice and the kids had a great time playing in the pool and running around getting dirty. We love going to St. George in the spring time when the weather is just right!

Chelsea's sweet 16!!!

Chelsea's friends came and decorated her room(after they "cleaned" it for her). She was completely suprised!!

Her cake was a big Hannah Montana chocolate chip cookie cake. Her favorite yet!!! Can't beat that!

Chelsea got an ipod shuffle to take with her wherever she goes.

This is Chelsea admiring her cake. She just can't take her eyes off of the Hanah Montana cake!

It seems like just yesterday that Chelsea was born and here we are celebrating her 16th birthday. Time goes by fast when you are having fun! Drivers watch out! She has her driving permit and is waiting for driving time with the driver's ed teacher so she can get her real license. She has almost mastered driving the Honda and being able to change gears. The stopping and starting has improved a whole bunch from when she first started. Now she only kills the engine once in a while.

Lemans Cave

When we went to Leman's Cave we saw alot of things we wanted to show you .
Our tour guide was very nice and told us all that we needed to know about the cave

in most of the photos we took mom wasn't in,she was taking the photos . In the cave it was wet in some places so when we came out of it the ends of are pants were
e wet. There were alot of COOL things in the cave that we got to see , we thought this looked like a big tooth .

During th tour we weren't suppose to touch anything so when we took this one we almost fell because we were leaning forward so far.

(Post by Mikaela - didn't she do a good job?!!!)

Have we had enough snow????

It seems like we have had more snow and for longer this year than we have had for a long time. We had to make the most of it though. The girls got ice skates for Christmas, so we had to break those in and sledding is a must every winter. The kids found so many different things to do in the yard with the snow. We had snow caves, sledding hills, snowmen, snow scultptures, sled pulling parties, and lots of cold, wet kids. Needless to say, we have gone through lots of hot chocolate!

Basketball, basketball, basketball.......

Chelsea, Jessica, and Mikaela all played basketball this winter. Chelsea for the high school team. Jessica played church ball. Mikaela played Jr. Templar ball. We saw lots of games and had a great time! Between practices and games, there weren't too many days that someone wasn't involved in basketball in one way or the other.
