Memorial Day

This is a very uplifting video, celebrating the Mothers who sacrifice their sons and daughters.

Happy Mothers Day!

What a special day to recognize ALL the mothers in our lives. Our Mothers, sisters, and friends give us so much encouragement and advice to raising healthy, happy children.

I had a wonderful Mothers Day!

Saturday night after coming home exhausted from a long Dance competition, a bouquet of beautiful flowers were sitting on the counter. They were from my son's Girlfriend, Jessica. I always knew I liked this girl! What a sweety.

I also opened a card from my mom. It was so touching and I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful, caring mother in my life.

Sunday morning I woke up to breakfast in bed from my hubby! He takes such good care of me and bends over backwards to make me happy.

While I was in the bathroom getting ready for church, I was surprised to find a pile of presents on my bed. Thank you girls and Scot...I loved them!

Dinner at Scot's parents was delicious and I am so grateful for the beautiful card and gift card from my in-laws.

Thank you family for making me feel like one special Mama!

New addition

We were so excited to pick out these cuties!

We are entering the world of raising chickens for eggs.

Lots to learn and lots of fun.

The striped one is Alex's that he named Pepe' Nighthawk

Mine is the top left yellow named Henny Penny

Haili named the bottom left Goldilocks

The top middle is Emma's named Black Pearl

The bottom middle is Scot's named Betty Drumstick

Sean named the bottom right Butters

Pearl enjoying her chicken feed


So cute all cuddled together

They love to be held

Tugzi even loves them.

Sean with Butters

PLEASE drop us any hints or suggestions!!!

We have decided on an A-frame tractor coup that can be moved around our yard rather than a stationary coup. We figure we'll let the chickens wander the back yard picking bugs and weeds.

Prom

Sean asked a girl to prom this year

(used to be his girlfriend, but they are just friends now)

They set Sean's friend up with her friend, so they could all go as a group

It was fun to see them dressed up in their suits and dresses

They had a blast!

Spring Break

Saint George over Spring Break was beautiful!

Hanging out with Cinda (with her kiddos) and Carlie (with her kiddos) was so much fun.

We took the kids to the overlook where there is plenty of climbing and hiking

We ventured into Zions for the day and hiked the Emerald pools lower, middle, and upper falls hikes.

Our kiddos were such troopers and really enjoyed the more challenging parts of the hike.

My girls and I wishing the boys could have come...they really missed out.

Stopping for breaks with beautiful views made the hike even more fun

We made it to the upper falls

The view from the middle pools

It was breathtaking!

Easter fun

Easter came and went at our house

Everything is hidden on Easter morning, including our kid's baskets.

Scot and I giggle as they all scurry around looking for everything the Easter bunny left.

This year they found money in their eggs, candy (sugar free since the girls are on their candy diet), new dress (for the girls), gift certificates (for the boys), and a new bath towel for each of them.

Oobies!!!!

The girls have been wanting these and somehow they found their way into our house.

After all the Easter eggs were found at our house, we went to Grandpa and Grandma's house for more Easter fun!

The kids were all waiting for their uncle to open the back door and let them out for the Easter egg hunt.

Alex and Sean were like two little boys gathering candy:)



Notice the short hair on Alex?

You can't trick this girl!

Sean with a bag full of candy

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Llewelyn for a fun afternoon and delicious Easter dinner...we love you!

Family ski day 2010

There is no place like Deer Valley Ski Resort!

We look forward to our annual ski day with Scot's siblings every year.

It was a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine

A little slushy in the lower hills, but perfect powder on the upper

Chillin with some snacks before we hit the slopes again!

Haili following her brothers and Aunt Janna down the hill

Emma was timid at first, especially since we took her on a double blue for her first run.

She warmed up by mid-day

The views from the chair lifts are spectacular

Aunt Janna, cousin Ashli & Ciara hanging out

Haili and Emma following Janna

These 3 were hitting every jump they could find
