Dance Season 2010-2011

There is SO many pictures to pick from but I only have so much time to add them... ha ha . Dance Addiction Team did a GREAT job this year. Cleaned up good at most every competition. McKenna did amazing in her solo as well. Took home several first places, including First place at NATIONALS!!! WOO HOO KENNA!!! SO SO PROUD OF HER!! She has such a gift and talent for dancing, and she is being a good instructor to her little sister..Kaybree loves to dance with her and copies a lot of moves from Kenna. As always a HUGE thanks to my wonderful mom.... I am so BLESSED to have her be such a big supporter of McKennas dancing. I love getting to spend time with my mom even if its on some very uncomfortable seats, ( even though we both bought some nice stadium chairs) We are so thankful for all of McKennas family and friends who support her in this passion, Thanks for all the traveling and money spent to come watch her.

Growing up

I am so far behind, but I wanted to add these very special pictures of McKenna on her big day. What a BEAUTIFUL daughter I have and I cant even express how much love I have for her. She is truly a blessing in our family. Could not be more proud of her for her choice to get baptized and set such a great example to her siblings and her younger cousins.

Little Bakers....

The girls were helping me make cookies one day... they enjoyed it so much that Kaybree decided to do a little baking on her own a few days later. What a fun thing to teach kids to cook. I really love to cook but I very much dislike the clean up of flour from a 1 year olds play time.

Jackson for Christmas

I have to say this was one of the best Christmas I can remember. Everyone was able to make it to mom and dads house for Christmas . We got to go on the horse drawn sleigh, take our pic with a HUGE snowman, spend time with eachother! It was GREAT! Thanks Everyone for a wonderful Christmas. I hope to have many more together.

Snow day

The kids just love to be outside, even when its freezing outside. It was a semi nice day out so I let them go play while I worked on quilting. Kaybree does NOT like to be left out of anything so I dressed her all up and sent her outside as well. The older two made a snowman and used cookies for the buttons and eyes. Kaybree face planted a few times trying to walk, but she didnt mind the snow in her face. McKenna started a snow fight with Bryce, he of course had a blast with the kids and throwing snow.! I am glad I stopped my project inside to go out and watch, and take pic.

McKenna Birthday

We have learned that having McKennas friend birthday party a few weeks prior to her birthday works best for her friends. Its so hard to have a party on her birthday... Dec 27. She invited somewhere around 15-20 kids to her party. THANK GOODNESS not all were able to come. 7-8 year old kids have WAY WAY to much energy! McKenna asked me to make better than anything cupcakes for her party. We ate pizza , played games, opened presents and played in the snow. It was a great party! Happy Birthday McKenna we love you so much and we are so proud of you. Your growing up so fast.

Happy Birthday Teegan

After many requests from Holly and Brian to come down and visit, we decided that we would do that for Teegans 5th birthday. We had so much fun. Sat morning when we woke up Holly and I went to eat breakfast ALONE at the original pancake house , they had the BEST pancakes!! Everyone needs to eat there. We left there and went to healing mountain to get massages! Then picked up a few things for Teegans birthday on our way home.. It was SO great to get to spend one on one time with my sister, * it rarely happens and even more rare to hang out with out kids! THANKS TO OUR WONDERFUL HUSBANDS FOR BABYSITTING!! When we returned home we let Teegan open his presents,and then we had to take the pogo stick back to Target since no one could get the thing to bounce cuz the spring was to tight... Thanks Holly and Brian for the gift and then for the replacement one.. The guys needed away for a while so Holly and I took the kids out to lunch at the Myan... WOW it was fun to watch their faces light up when we went in. We were able to get a front booth to eat and and enjoy the divers. Then off to the bounce house!! The kids skated , bounced, and played arcade games, Kenna and Taylor each won their own games and then they and Teegan won a diffrent game together.. GOOD JOB winning the skating games kids!~~Everyone had a great time , Uncle Brian even shared his icee with Kaybree. I wish that we all lived closer together we sure do miss spending time with all of them... ONE DAY we will live closer. Love you guys so much !!
