1st week of school

Well the first week of school is over and now we officially back into the swing of things,(sort of). The boys love there new teachers and the fact that they get to see their friends everyday. I am glad because I was starting to get to my final strands of hair trying to find things for them to do. Poor Porter, he is having a hard time trying to figure out why he does not get to go with them to school, for instance, he wanted to ride with the boys up to school in the morning so I told him to hurry and get ready so we could go with them, well he was very fast and ran out the door before I was ready and he could not see the boys who were next door in neighbors driveway waiting so he left on his own. By the time I found/caught up with him he was almost at the school. I can't wait for preschool to start so that he can feel cool going to school.

Lake Powell trip July2011

I have decided that we at least have to have one Lake Powell trip per summer if not more. We packed up our stuff and had our first attempt this July sleeping on the beach instead of on the boat. It wasn't as bad as I imagined that it was going to be. The weather was great for the entire trip up until the last night when the wind and rain decided to show up, but that wasn't so bad either. All in all we had a great time.

Westons birthday party

So we had Westons 6 year old birthday party yesterday. He decided that he wanted a Power Ranger themed party, so that is what he got. We did races out side, had them each show off there best Power Ranger fighting poses, came inside and did stick the power ranger badge on the power rangers chest,(pin the tail on the donkey), hit the pinata, had cake and then watched a power ranger cartoon. Oh yea, we also opened presents that his friends brought him. It was a blast. I can't believe he is already 6, either he is growing way to fast, or I am getting way to old!!

Dallins first Pine Wood Derby

So Dallin had his first Pine Wood Derby. Tony and Dallin got all high tech and even had Grandpa help out. It was great. The night of the derby came and I had to remind Dallin that it did not matter who won or lost, only that it was important to have fun. He ended up winning first. I must say I was some what the proud Mama.

Attempt at a homemade Power Ranger Pinata

It sort of looks like a monster head, but Weston thinks it looks cool so that is all that matters!

St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone. I hope all the little leprechans didn't do to much havoc to your homes!! My 4 little leprechans cause havoc everyday!!

Dallin turns 8 and is baptised

Dallin turned 8 Feb 19th. For his birthday we went to Jack and Jills for some bowling fun. He took five of his friends, and of course Weston and Porter. We had a great time.
Dallin was also baptised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That was a special day. The feelings of joy are overwhelming when a child makes a decision to be a great example and to follow Christ. What a great feeling to be a parent. I am also very grateful that Tony was able to perform the baptism and then to Confirm him. Thank you to all are family that are such a great example to our kids.
