Family Photo finally!

I hate getting family pictures...that is probably why it took me 3 years to get the gumption to do one. And, of course, I hate my hair as usual :)

Summer Fun!!

The Wasatch Back Race...Again!

We started the race in Logan Friday @ 7:10 am

Our team vehicle and name :)

...and ended in Park City Saturday about 1:30 pm

The Next Ragnar Race is in Vegas, so at the end of the race there was a promotional tent where we "gambled" for prizes. I'm glad I wasn't using real money, I was no good!

FATHER'S DAY!!

Kamron turned 5 on June 25th! Soon he'll be off to kindergarten-crazy! I forgot to buy wrapping paper for his presents (leave it to the unorganized mom) so we used leftover Christmas wrapping paper turned inside out...he didn't care!

Next stop...Girls Camp with Alexa!! I loved girls camp when I was in young women's. It was just as much fun as a dorky leader :)

Ellie and Anna's Dance recital (yes, I had to come home from girls camp to go to it). They had fun and looked so cute!






Last, but not least, Ellie turned 7 years old today!! This must be why summer goes by to quickly! Two more birthdays, a couple of camp trips, and it will be back to school before we know it ! (sob, sob)

Golden Birthday!

Alexa turned 13 years old on the 13th! Wow, we must be old, we have a teenager...but we couldn't ask for a better one :)

13 gold dollars!

"Gold birthday breakfast"...Alexa's favorite, breakfast burritos

bowling with the family!

California!

Loving Disneyland with cousins!!

Toy story ride was our longest line.

Kamron's favorite ride was "It's a small world"

What the heck?

Anna and Ellie were tired of going on small world for Kamron :)

BUGS LIFE....

Love the face...Ellie looked just like the bug!

lookin' good!


yummy food @ Rainforest Cafe!


LOVE THE DAD MOMENTS!

Huntington Beach

RANDOM PICTURE OF PRESCHOOL GRADUATION!

Kamron is growing up way too fast :(

Kid stuff!

Anna and Ellie had their first of three dance performances tonight. It was fun to watch, and they looked so cute!!

Anna also had her school choir concert right before the dance recital. She had to wear her dance costume under her school shirt.

Go JAZZ!

We had a great visit with Martin, Angie, and the kids! They came up for the Jazz game against the Suns. As most of you know it was too close at the end for comfort!! Alexa had her science olympiad competition at Weber State all day and night. She was totally bummed she couldn't go, but she had a great day with her friends. Eating at Crown Burger before the game.

All Jazzed Up!

Ellie may look like a Jazz fan, but during the 4th quarter she asked me what color our team was :). Knowing our team was not as important as fun with cousins, popcorn and sprite!

Kamron at the start of the game.....

Say good-bye to brace-face! (for now) Anna got her first set of braces off on Thursday. She is now considered an in-between-er. She has a top and bottom permanent retainer until she gets her final set of braces in a couple of years. The first set was to make room for her ginormous (how do you spell that?) teeth, so they don't come in all "jacked" up :)

KIDS!

December 2008

Today! 2/22/09

Thought I'd put a recent picture on of the kids. Sunday seems to be the only day we all have it together...even then sometimes it is questionable!

Alexa has changed the most...7th grade, braces, etc. She is hoping to get them off around May. She still loves the piano, but has liked learning the flute this year. She was on the NAL (national academic league) last fall and is now on the science olympiad team. She is a hard worker.

Anna gets her "first set" of braces off in March, then we wait until all the permanent teeth come in and get her second set...man are kids expensive...but worth it :). Anna is also taking piano, but does not love it. She tells me I am wasting my money...bless her little heart :). She also takes dance enjoys it.

Ellie takes dance as well and loves it. She is liking first grade. She is becoming a good little reader. He favorite thing to do is to get her nails painted.

Kamron gets to hang with mom most of the time. He goes to preschool 3 days a week. He loves to play games, cars, and read books. He finally is starting to like to write his letters and numbers. He has the cutest sense of humor and is constantly making our family laugh.

I'm just getting in to all this blog stuff, so I am not to talented yet. I'm just practicing with a few pictures. This is how Kamron's sisters have fun while they are baby sitting :) Looks like he was having too much fun himself.
