Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken in November but they were finally finished being edited in February...Here are some of our favorites:

We Just Had to Get Away!!!

A spontaneous get away for President's Day. After the cheer competition and Sam's basketball game and Brinley's soccer games...we decided to travel up to Logan and stay the night and relax. We had a pleasant time swimming, watching movies, shopping a little and having some time just being with the family. It was a good decision to just leave everything and come up here to enjoy each other. I loved it and we had a fun, relaxing time!

This is a hurricane simulator...winds up to 170 mph. Sam was the only one who came out looking as though nothing happened.

Weber State Cheer Competition

This is their last competition until Nationals in California. This competition was at Weber State and it was nice having it close. The team looked so good...probably the best that I have seen them perform it. They took 2nd place to Roy. But they beat Northridge again and I think that that is all they really wanted! Northridge came in 3rd and then Odgen High took 4th.

Sydnie was so nervous for this competition...her knees have been hurting her so bad and her tumbling has been hard for her. Both Sydnie and Lyndsie landed their tumbling though. We have a doctors appt. for friday to see what we can do to help her out with her knees.

Sam's Valentine Box

Sam got creative this year....he wanted to do something this year that represented him in some way. So he decorated his Valentine box around Austin Collie #17. He did a great job with the help of Steve and I.

The Valentine's Dance...Dane and Sydnie and Devone and Lyndsie

Clearfield Cheer Competition

The Cheerleaders traveled down to Salt Lake for their first competition of the year...they were unprepared because one girl quit and 2 (including Lyndsie) had broken bones. So the routine had to be redone as of a week ago. The girls are tired and wore out and have been working hard so hard. But they took first and they beat Northridge so everyone was happy and they have a couple of weeks to work before they compete again.

A couple of weeks ago, Lyndsie was at cheer practice and fell during a standing tuck on her hand and ended up breaking her knuckle. She has been in a lot of pain the past couple of weeks. We had to take her to a hand specialist because they were debating on whether or not doing surgery because the actual knuckle is partially crushed, causing a step or an uneven part where is should be even for movement. It isn't a good picture, but they ruled out surgery and they are going to xray it every week for the next couple of weeks to make sure it doesn't move. If it does...then they will have to do surgery.

Here is a picture of when they all hear that they won the competition...priceless!
