The boys lookin alive in the outfield, but seriously, notice the green grass.
Shane is winding up his pitch, and Rob is ready and waiting for the ball to come at him. They had a fun little game with the boys in between conference sessions Sunday afternoon. We just couldn't pass up the beautiful sunshine. What a great day!
The Easter bunny found us in St. George...phew, I was a little worried he might not find us.
Emilee and Amanda had a great time decorating Easter eggs.

Witchapalooza
Jannette, Haley and I went to witchapalooza at Gardner Village. It was great, we really had a fun time.
Miles ripped it up
Mckane had a great time, he just kept getting better and better
Mckane had a blast wakeboarding
Mckane coming in from a good run
Bailee and her cousin Conner cruisin on the Chariot
Bailee's B-day party. I made the girls watch Grease. They looked at me a little weird as I danced around with the phone as my mic, singing all those great songs.
Mckane is starting 8th grade this year. I'm so glad to have the first year of junior high behind us...that was rough. He continues to be my hero, always saving the day when I'm in a pinch. Whether he's helping me with a computer problem or getting me in a locked room, I just don't know what I'd do without him. We love having him in our family. He's really growing up too fast. His compassion and leadership are are a great asset to our family. I Love You Mckane!
Miles is starting 6th grade this year. He's still taking guitar lessons. I wish he would practice more. He has an electric guitar now.He's continuing on in hip hop. He wanted to be on a competitive team this year but he has to miss class too often for baseball, which I love watching him play. He's so dang cute. He is playing fall ball with his cousin. That will be a lot of fun. Miles has the ability to be friends with everybody. He's the kind of person everybody wants to be around(including girls). He keeps things fun around here with his outgoing personality.
Wow! Bailee is one amazing girl. Ya know that curse that every mother passes on to her daughter? Goes a little something like this.... Some day when you're a mom your going to have a daughter just like you. Then you'll know how I feel! That's my Bailee Rae. She's a little spit fire but I wouldn't change a thing. She got some weird organizing gene.(I'm not sure from who) She loves to empty out drawers, closets, my pantry, or anything else she can get her hands on and completly clean it out and tidy it up. She loves to dance and is still on a competition team.(I'm so not a dance mom) She turned 9 this Sept. I love the young women that she is becoming. She cares so much about the well being of our family, always coming up with new ideas to improve things. I don't know what we would do without that beautiful girl.
Emilee is such a free spirit. I don't think I could tame her if I tried...so I don't, I just let her run. She's an absolute joy! She also takes dance and loves it. She brings that comfort to a family that only the baby can bring
I guess I could update this at least once a year. The kids are a year older; I can barely keep up. Our family has made some major adjustments recently. My 86 year old grandmother has moved in with us. She can't live alone anymore. Bailee got to move her room downstairs (finally). So if I'm ever running late despite how rediculously anal I am about being prompt, I totally have an excuse. It's so weird having all my kids gone to school all day. No more 1/2 days...ever. My baby is all grown up. What am I supposed to do all day? You would think I would have all this extra time on my hands; so not the case. Life doesn't slow down. I'm learning the more prepared and organized I am, the more smoothly things will run. I still love the gym. Without it I would be the biggest blob.I love that time when I can go sweat hard, kick things, punch the air, and push myself a little harder. I'm so excited about our new temple. I seriously have no excuse anymore. I'm anxious to be able to go more often. My family is the best, my friends are the best, I'm so blessed.
