Orem Overnighter

Brinley, Sam, and Myself decided to go down to Orem and watch Gracie and Sara at their dance competition. We went down Friday afternoon and stayed in a hotel and then the competition was on Saturday at Orem High School. We stopped and had dinner at In and Out Burger and then once we got to the hotel, swimming suits were put on and everyone headed down to the pool. The Rices joined us later on and Sam was so happy to have Hayden there. It was fun to watch Gracie and Sara do their dances and to watch the other dances too. I haven't sat through a competition in quit awhile!

Another Year of Bowling...

What more can I say...I love it!!! Nothing spectacular happened this year like "bowler of the month" or "most improved" plus...we did come in dead last. But all that can not dampen my spirits, all of us had such a good time on the last day of bowling. I love my team of Char, Kim, and myself. I love the fact that so many fun neighbors are there also. And I love just going every week, it is really a highlight of my week. So until next year...(maybe) you never know what the year will bring.

Fun Photo Shoot

Brinley went over to Mallory's house one afternoon and they obviously did a little photo shoot. Here are some of their creations...

A Happy Day...

It was cheer tryouts for Clearfield High today...After they were done trying out, all of the girls came out of the building to wait it out until things were posted. It is very suspenseful and it is a very long week of practicing and more practicing and getting behind in school work because of it. Sydnie's friend Sabrina was trying out for cheer for the very first time and Lyndsie was so nice to help her throughout the week. She worked so hard! When the list was posted I made sure that my two girls made it and then my next concern was for Sabrina. When I saw that she had made it, I literally started to cry. She had worked so hard, harder than anyone there because she had the farthest to go. Her mom was crying too and that made it even harder to NOT cry. I was so happy for her and everyone else there. I am especially happy for Lyndsie and Sydnie and the opportunity that they are going to have to be able to cheer with each other this year...it is going to be a great year. After the tryouts, everyone went to Chili's for the celebration and we were there forever! Lyndsie pretended that it was her birthday and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" as she got up on a chair and clapped along. She truly is the life of the party!

Movie Time...

Off Track is almost over and the those who are on D track in Syracuse (well almost) decided to go to a movie. We had a great time. As you can see from the pictures, we took up about a fourth of the theatre so it really was a lot of fun having every friend there. We watched "How to Train A Dragon." It was a great movie, Sam and Brinley loved it.

Aaaahhh! So this is what happens when we start to get old? Well not really...not in Kim's case, this has been a problem since she was just a little girl. We won't say what, but those who know her best, know exactly what I am talking about. I have some other pictures that would give it away, but she could get me back really good so I will just keep those tucked safely away!

I am so glad though that everything turned out good for her. She did so good on her recovery, she is tougher than she thought! I was so proud of her! Grace and Sara stayed a few nights with me when Brad was at the hospital or was working so we had fun and Brin was in heaven! We love you Kim, we're glad everything is working perfect now!

Prom Night

Lyndsie was asked to Prom the night before we went to Hawaii. She was asked by Braden Staley. He knocked at the door and left a play fishing pole and some gummy worms and a note that said "I would be "reely" honored if you would be my date for prom!" I thought that it was a fun way to ask her.

Lyndsie didn't know Braden very well or the group that they went with, but she had a fun time.

Here are some pictures...

April's Pack Meeting

Pack Meetng is so much fun for Sam. This time he was in charge of the flag ceremony and he did a great job. Sam and Landon took things very serously and they did it perfectly.
