She loves to dance and it shows...

This is a dance competition at Taylorville High School. Sydnie did a great job. Steve took these pictures with his brand new camera and is just learning how to use it. Great job Syd...you are a beautiful dancer!

AYSO

Our littlest soccer player does a pretty good job. It is fun to watch them because his team has really caught onto the game and they are doing so good. The improvement from last year is amazing! It is still 3 v 3, but the game is so exciting to watch. Sam understands the game and he his loving making the goals...he is pretty fast too.

Funny Boys

Funny, Funny Football Players...

These two crack me up! Mrs. Adams (their kindergarten teacher) wanted them to dress up a certain way and these two insisted that everyone in the class was dressing up as football players. They weren't...but Mrs. Adams allowed these two to because they wanted to so bad.

Our Magical Vacation

Everyone was so happy to go on vacation. Schedules have been busy and life is moving fast! So this vacation was a great break for all of us! Our traveling day was Tuesday and Wednesday we were ready to have a good time. Our first stop was Universal Studios...

Now that everyone is older, Universal Studios was a fun place. We rode on some rides, met up with more Syracuse friends and watched some fun shows.

All the kids are cheering at the ball game...while the dads are taking a rest. We went to Universal Studios with the Lake family. It is so nice to have such good neighbors to vacation with...they are like family...all of our neighbors are.

Disneyland...where dreams come true.

We planned this vacation around Sydnie dancing with Rhythm Works. We have done this before about 3 years ago when all three girls were dancing. Now Lyndsie is a cheerleader at the Junior High and Brinley loves to play soccer and chose that instead of dancing. So all that is left to dance is Sydnie and she loves it. We spent 2 days in Disneyland and that was not enough. The Adams Family loves Disneyland and California Adventure. Our first day we spent in Disneyland and then the 2nd day was spent in California Adventure and this is where Rhythm Works performed.

This is one of our favorite meals at Disneyland...a giant turkey leg. It is almost bigger than Brin.

The kids had fun with almost the entire neighborhood there...the Larsens, Zoolakis',Lakes and us mostly hung around together. But we ran into the Sills, Jones, and the Ritters a lot too.

This is a captured photo from Splash Mountain...Lyndsie is having a good time! Now finally the day is almost over and it is dark outside so we all took advantage of getting our picture taken in front of the castle (but you can't really see it...oops).

California Adventure!!

The next day was hectic and it went by way too fast. California is so fun and Sydnie didn't get to enjoy it as much as the others because she had to go and get ready to dance on stage!

Here is a picture of some of the audience...getting out of the hot sun and enjoying a snack before the big show. Delany Davis, Brinley, Brielle, Sam, McKenna and Colter.

Our Last Day...

Our last day in California, which was Steve's Birthday, we spent at the beach! It was a super fun day. I almost think that the kids like the beach as much as they do Disneyland. We ended up at the beach with the Zoolakis', the Lakes, and the Larsens. Everyone played in the water, played soccer, and played in the sand. I think that Sam loved it the most. He was going 100 miles per hour the entire day.

After the beach, we tried to fit in a little bit more fun...We went out to dinner at IN and OUT Burger for Steve's birthday and then went back to the hotel and let the kids swim. I sure do hate the last day of vacations! I didn't want to come home and neither did anyone else. But we had to pack up and get ready for the drive home!

Happy Birthday Steve!!

Clearfield High Cheer Tryouts!

Oh, what a stressful time! Lyndsie decided to try out for cheerleader again and so she went to a week long of cheer clinics, practiced tumbling every night, practiced the dance and cheer every night, went to the Rec. Center to practice with other girls...and now here we are. Cheer tryouts are over and she made it. Congratulations! I knew you would do great...even though you said "go Seahawks" instead of "go Falcons". Way to go!!!

Katie came to support Lyndsie on this stressful day.

Heidi and Lyndsie

Playing in the Mud?

Wow, can you believe these two? What are they going to do next! Tenille called Lyndsie to see if she would go over to the elementary school to play some basketball ( I think that they wanted to practice up for church ball). Anyway, this is how they came back about an hour later.

Itty Bitty Hoops...The funnest thing to watch

I enjoyed every minute of Itty Bitty Hoops. There were little 5-6 year olds that had no clue what was going on and then there were others that dominated the court. It was so fun to watch them and see what was going to happen next, because really you could never guess what they would do. I remember one time Greyson got the ball and started sprinting towards the wrong baslet! What a lot of fun and laughs. When the game was over for that week, I could hardly wait until the next one, I loved it that much. Rodney Banks was the coach and he did a great job!!

Kindergarten Fieldtrip!

On March 12, Mrs. Adams took her morning and afternoon classes on a field trip

to the Children's Museum in Salt Lake. I was one of the chaperones and it was fun to

watch the kids run around and explore things...

Sam and Greyson exploring the construction site...oops, they have forgotten their hard hats!

There you go Sam...you got one.

Now Sam is exploring the farm where you could pick vegetables, sort them, feed animals, and ride a horse. But the emergency helicopter was the best by far for all of the boys. I could hardly get my little group of boys to move on and explore other things when they came upon this. It was so cool!

Sydnie is finally getting braces!

Wow, Sydnie had to wait clear until seventh grade to get her braces on, while Lyndsie was getting hers off at that time. Oh well, it was still exciting for Sydnie to get hers on and to be able to choose the color of elastics!

Almost done Syd...hang in there!

Still a beautiful smile:)
