Bling Bling!!

Tylar got her braces on the 25th. She has done pretty well. Her mouth hurt for a couple days but no major problems. Thank goodness!

St George!!

This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to St George for a dance competition. We were all so excited for some warm weather and the chance to swim. We had a blast and the girls did great. Lainy took first place for her duet. This is the first time she has taken first place at St. George. Tylar took a 2nd and a 4th. (Which I have to say was crap) and Lainy took a 1st and 2nd place with an overall Grand Champ. Trin drove up from Vegas and met us at the hotel. It sure was a great little vacation.

This is my little Lainy lifted high in the air. Hold on tight girls!!

Collyns goings on!!

So here are a few pictures of what the hurricane has been up to.

He chases the poor cat through the house, and loves to hold her. Poor kitty!! We went to St George over the weekend for the girls dance. He loved riding on the luggage dolly. We had to pry him off of it. He loves to swim, and drive his trucks. More than anything he loves to throw things whether it is a toy or his food. He is such a naughty little boy.

Ashtyn!!!

I took Ashtyn and got her hair cut. She does better with short hair. She has a really soft

head so it makes brushing her hair not so fun. She look adorable and it is so easy to do.

Spanish Fork Competition!!!

The girls had a dance competition in Spanish Fork. They both did a very good job and I am so proud of how well they both did. Lainy did her duet and won first place. Lainy's team won 2nd place for Imagine and a first place for Oh so Quiet. Oh so Quiet also won an overall Grand Champion. Which means they were the 2nd highest point out of all the Mini dances. Tylar's team took a 1st place for Cotton Eye Joe, and a 2nd place overall. Hold your hand also took 1st. Way to go girls. I am so thankful for Misty and all the hard work she puts into making our girls the best they can be. I just realized I don't have any pictures of Tylar at this competition. She was on her own for a bit while I finished Lainys dances up. So I didn't have time to get some pictures. OOPS!!

Knowledge Bowl!!

Both Tylar and McKayden participated in the Knowledge Bowl. It is their second year competing. It is alot of practice answering questions and studying certain subjects. This year was the arts so they studied composers and musical instruments. There were plenty of other things to study thank goodness there were other members on the team that had those. McKayden was put as team captain. It was a fun couple Saturdays, but I'm glad the Tues and Thursday practices are over.

It has begun!!!

Lainy's team did a jazz dance to Oh So Quiet. They took 2nd place. They also did a lyrical dance to Imagine. They took a 1st in Imagine and also won a high point overall. They did such a good job and we are so excited to see what this years competition holds for her team. Tylars team also did very well. They took 2nd place in their lyrical dance (Hold your Hand) and a 1st place in their jazz (Cottoneye Joe).

First place QUEEN!

So it has begun. Competition season is here. Our first competition was at Thanksgiving Point. Lainy did her duet on Friday and than they did their team dances on Sat. They scored high enough to win a first place queen. Way to go girls!!!

Boy Boy Boy did I say all Boy!!!

We've unleashed a monster!!! This little boy loves to wear jerseys play ball and watch Nascar or monster trucks whichever is on at the moment. He loves to wear hats like his daddy. It will be interesting to see if he remains a sports enthusiast as he gets older. He is such a funny happy go lucky kind of kid. He is just starting to become a handful.

Tylar had her wax museum at school. She decided to be Anne Frank. She read everything she could find. I had the opportunity to go to Anne Franks house when we were in Amsterdam so I had some brochures she read also. She did a very good job and enjoys doing artsy kind of stuff.

Future President of the USA!!!

Dylainy was invited to run for class president after a preliminary vote landed her in the top 4 of her class. She had to write a speech and make a poster. She did such a good job. She won and is now President of her class. Way to go Dylainy!!!

Happy Birthday Ashtyn!!!

My baby girl Ashy turned 5 on Feb 2nd. I can call her that because she is my last girl. She is such a fun outgoing little girl with a whole bunch of drama. She loves going to preschool everyday, and I am thankful that she goes everyday. She is well liked by the other kids in her class and is excited to start kindergarten next year. We already went and did her check up she had 4 shots and didn't even cry. What a brave girl. She was diagnosed this past month with migraines. So we have had a few visits to the dr. office this last month because of that. If she has another one we are going up to Primary Childrens to see what we can figure out. She never complains. We love her and are so grateful to have her in our family. Happy Birthday Ashtyn!!!

A Long Month!!!

So much has happpened over the last month or so. What a crazy life I lead! Trinity has started traveling again and instead of staying home with the kids and being taken off the schedule at Smith's I took a promotion. So I work 30 hrs a week besides driving carpool for dance, tumbling, football, and after school activities. Thank goodness I have some good friends that help me out when I need it. So here goes I'll try and update everthing that has happended.

Moms famous meatballs.

Every year for New Years Eve I make meatballs. This year I had to work so Tylar helped the other kids make meatballs. They turned out great. Good job Tylar. She is quite the little cook.
