Sweet Sixteen!

Today Lyndsie turned 16! Wow, she thinks that she is soooo old. It was a hectic day for her, I am sure, because it is almost the end of the quarter and she had a couple of big tests today...darn it! But other than that, I hope that she had a great day. She has some great friends that came over and decorated our house with big signs and posters, wishing her a happy birthday. They even baked her a cake and when we came home from getting an icecream cone, they were in our house to surprise her with a cake that they had made. After that exciting party, we all went out to dinner and Tenille joined us. Of course, we went to Chinese food, because that is Lyndsie's most favorite. We had a great dinner, but as soon as it was over, Lyndsie had to go to a basketball game to cheer. She got home late and was tired enough from her exciting

Sweet Sixteen Birthday!

Chucky Cheese!

Why do we do this to ourselves? I have never been to a restaurant that was soooo busy. It was almost comical! There were so many people...it is a very popular place. Grandma Linda wanted to take all of the grandkids to Chucky Cheese before everyone had to go back to school and it was sure a big hit! Everyone had a super time, even the older kids...

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year...2008 has been a great year and we celebrated at the Jardine's house. It is always fun to go over there. We all played games, visited, and ate breakfast. All of the kids were invited too, so it was a full night of excitement. We celebrated with the Jardines, Larsens, Garretts, Calls, and Vests. It was a great night!

Ice Skating

The Christmas vacation isn't over yet...The Activity Day Girls went ice skating today down in Bountiful. I am not a leader, but they had a few extra moms there to help out. The girls did great though and needed hardly any help. Even those who had never been, picked it up so quickly. Brinley loved it and wants to go again...Here are some fun pictures of the girls...

Me, Heather, Kelly, Debbie, and Kim

Look how everyone has changed...

Oh, I miss the time when everyone was little. People would tell me "You will be surprised how time flies, they will be in High School before you know it!". Every one of them were so good and sweet and little. Look how much they have grown...I cannot believe it!

I look at these pictures and in a way it seems like yesterday. Life is great when it comes to my sweet little girls and my one wonderful boy! We have so many fun memories.

That was then...this is now!

We had our family pictures taken in June and here are some of the individual pict of each of them...
