Elise's Baptism

This was such a beautiful day. I am so proud of Elise and for her decision in being baptized. The spirit was so strong and when I went into the back room to help Elise up the stairs I was so happy and there was so much love and the spirit testified to me that Elise had made the right choice.. I can't completely explain it, but it was beautiful.

I want to thank our family and friends for coming and supporting Elise and helping me with Lunch. It was all delicious! WE LOVE YOU ALL!

DANCE LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING

You've heard the saying, 'DANCE TILL YOU DROP'? Oh my goodness. I did drop! Not only was I busy with field trips, yard work (to get ready for the baptism bar b q), house work (all that laundry from our camping weekend), the actual baptism (that I had to speak at & make the programs), we had DANCE, DANCE, DANCE all week. Tuesday we had the dress rehearsal (4 till 6:30), Wednesday we had pictures (4:30 till 6:15). and then Friday was the SHOW! (6 till 9).

But it was all worth it in the end. Once the girls hit the stage you could do nothing but smile! I hope that they remember these moments and when life gets hard 'Dance Like Nobody's Watching'!

2nd Grade Tracey Aviary

This was Elise's field trip for 2nd Grade. The funny thing is, is that I was so prepared yesterday with Faith's fields trip that my bag was so heavy for no reason (because it didn't rain) and so I lightened my load and only took the bare necessities and it POURED on us! How crazy is that! But we did have a great time. On the way home I had 1/2 the bus singing with me.. even one little boy said "I don't want this day to ever end, can I take you home" LOL!

Elise's favorite part of the field trip was 'seeing the Golden Eagle and the Bald Eagle because they were really cool and very rare'.

KINDERGARTEN ZOO DAY

Today was Faith's first field trip! We went to the ZOO and saw all the fun animals, ate a picnic lunch, and enjoyed the bird show. We thought for sure it would rain so we were prepared, but we got lucky. It was a perfect day.

Faith's favorite part was the penguins. She thinks their so cute!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD

A little girl needs her daddy
To love her with manly charm,
To soothe her when she’s hurt,
And keep her safe from harm.

A girl needs her dad
To show her a man who’s good,
To help her make right choices,
As only a father could.

A woman needs her father
Just to be aware,
He’ll always be there for her
To sustain her and to care.

You’ve been all these things. I hope you can see how much I treasure you; You mean everything to me. I love you dad!

Memorial Weekend

I bet you can't guess what we did for the Memorial Weekend?

What Happens in Vegas...

You know the saying, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? Well we disagree. We wanted to share with you some things 'what happened in Vegas' this last weekend.


The Flamingo Casino has a beautiful habitat in the middle of the Casino. It has penguins, ducks, turtles, and flamingos. It was the perfect background for a family photo.

Coleton was trying really hard to get his dad to rent this car for the weekend.

Caesar Palace was one of our favorite hotels to walk thru, the statues are beautiful. Here Cleo & Caesar welcomed us to their home :P

We have some wild kids! At Circus, Circus they loved anything that made them go upside down, round & round, or really fast... I about got sick just watching.

I was really surprise how fascinated my kids were with the Bellagio Fountains. It was the perfect spot to stop, have lunch, and rest from walking the strip.

Our Friends the Hunters! We were so lucky to have such great friends go with us and show us the sights.

Soakin' up the Sun & Feelin' Hot!

We had a blast at the Supercross! Here's Rob and Greg in the Pitts doing what they do best, playing around.

Girls Piano Recital

What an enjoyable evening. I'm so proud of my girls. They practiced so hard for this night and it was perfect! Thank you Aunt Aimee for being an Awesome Piano Teacher!
