Classic Skating

Today the sixth grade got to go to Classic Skating. I wanted to go too, I wanted to take pictures since Raegan will be out of elementary school soon but I didn't want to embarrass her. So my good friend Kim went as my spy. She posed as a photographer from the PTA with my camera and took pictures. Raegan found out once she got home from school and found me looking at the pictures on the computer, she was surprised, ticked and happy all at the same time. Some day she will thank me for the memories!!!

The Guys

Raegan and her friends are in the back ground. This kid is Ryan Wisner or otherwise known as "the Whiz", he is a little "Ladies Man". Where ever you see Ryan you see the ladies. He is also a friend of Raegans.

Raegan isn't really good on skates, I don't know when she has ever even been on them.

Poor Breanna had to end the day with a bloody nose.
Good Friends, Good Times!

Big Baby and Wonderful Wednesdays

I wanted to update pictures of my sweet, sweet baby! Nicholas is such a sweet little guy, hardly ever a fuss from this kid. He is now 4 months old and getting too big too quick!

We love Wednesdays! Wednesday Max has play group. These little buddies are so funny together. I can't wait to take this same picture in 10 years and see if much has changed.

We also love Wednesdays because it is TRASH DAY! Max is obsessed with the Trash Man. He can hear him coming from a mile away. He always sits and waits for the Trash Man. Max is lucky enough to receive a "honk, honk" from the Trash Man on his big trash truck horn.

We will see you next Wednesday Trash Man...

Hope of America

Every year about 40 elementary schools participate in
HOPE OF AMERICA
It is a musical patriotic tribute. I love it! Only 5th grade students are invited to participate. I never leave with dry eyes. This year Kalli was lucky enough to be apart of it.

It was a girls night! Grandma Sharon, Sydney, Raegan and Me (mom) got to be in the audience.

McKenna Lines and Kalli...BFFs!

Womens Conference

I just got finished with two days of spiritual renewal. Womens Conference at BYU was great! I now want to be a better wife, mother, friend, neighbor, visiting teacher and overall a better person.

Chad was so great to take the time off of work and let me attend with my mom, Aunt Sandy, cousin Melanie and one of my best friend from high school, Stephanie.
There is just something so magical about the BYU campus!

I ran into a former roommate of mine from Ricks college. Kristina was there and came from Coeur d'alene, ID. It was so much fun to catch up with her and talk about our kids and what we have been doing for the past 15 years.

I have beautiful friends! This is Stephanie, she came up from AZ to experience Womens Conference for the first time. She hasn't been to UT in 20 years. I loved hanging out with her!!!

Take me out to the Ballgame...

Today was Tyler's very first baseball game.
He is on the CUBS.

Tyler received the "MVP" award of the game. He made a great catch in the outfield as well as a great hit his first time up! It was so fun watching him and see his excitement. "Way to go T!" We are looking forward to an exciting baseball season.

Pine Wood Derby

Tyler had his first Pine Wood Derby. He had a great time making his "Killer T" car. His car got the "Most Dangerous" award.

Welcome Home Elder Julian

Grandma and Elder Julian

We just had a great weekend in Colorado! You know when you have those trips and you come home wanting more? That is how I am feeling, it was way too short!!! We went to Colorado because my nephew Jake just returned from the Trinidad and Tobago French speaking mission.

The Julians

This is the entire Julian family. My oldest nephew James and his darling wife Tabitha and their two cute kiddos came all the way from Virginia. This is the first time in a long time that they have all been together.

We got to celebrate Chad's birthday while there in Colorado.
Happy Birthday Chad...You are the greatest thing to happen to me...Love you!

Look at this bunch, can you believe all of those kids and they are all mine! Well except the handsome newly returned missionary Elder Julian!
Welcome Home Jake!!!

Fun at the Zoo

Kalli, Kylee, Raegan and their annoying brother Tyler!

Today I took the monkeys to the zoo! Thankfully my mom came along to help push the stroller with Nicholas in it so I could run all over that zoo chasing Max...Mr. Curiousity, he is pretty dang fast! We also went with Todd (Chad's brother) and his family.
It was a beautiful day. The kids had a great time.

All Aboard!
Kylee, Max and Raegan on the train. Max would have been happy if all we did was eat chips and ride the train.

Little Nicholas probably didn't even know we were at the zoo! We had a great day!!

The Children's Museum

This week is spring break for us. The weather is not cooperating much for doing things out doors so we are having to find things to do inside. Today we took the kids to the Children's museum in Salt Lake.
It is a ton of fun, especially for the little kiddos but I think the older ones enjoyed it too.

We could not get Max away from the "Big Helicopter". He thought it was so cool and was so excited! If fact we had to pull him out of it after about 30 minutes, kicking and screaming.

Chad and I got to pretend that we were real news
casters for Channel 5 news.
We love the Children's Museum and had a great family day!!!
