haircuts

Ellie decided she wanted to cut her hair for the summer. She had just enough to donate to locks of love. After seeing Ellie's hair cut Maddie decided she wanted hers cut the same way. They both look beautiful!

Ellie's 9th Birthday

Ellie's birthday was on the last day of school. She wanted to have a party with a few friends. She loves to dance and sing, so we decided to do a "rock n roll" party. The girls danced, sang, made necklaces and bracelets, jumped on the trampoline and enjoyed Ellie's favorite dinner-ham fried rice and fried spring rolls.

Alex's orchestra concert

Alex played viola in the school orchestra this year. He really picked up on it quickly and has done a great job. He tried out for the middle school orchestra and made it easily. Maddie picked some flowers for him and was so excited to congratulate him when he was done. Alex really enjoyed his teacher and learned a great deal from her. She told Alex that he was one of her very favorite students when we asked for a picture with her. Way to go Alex!

Choir Concert

Ellie and Trevor had their spring choir concert just before school ended. They loved singing in the choir this year. In the video of the boys, Trevor is on the far right. Ellie is on the front row, the 3rd from the left in the next video. You have to watch the girl to her left...she was cracking us up through the whole program...you could definatley say "she's got the beat!" In the last video Trevor is on the top row, about the middle and Ellie is still on the front left. Enjoy!

Zack's 1st grade program

Zack's first grade program was so cute...everything you would expect from first graders. I recorded it all but I was at the very back and it is very dark. I still wanted to include part of it even though you cannot really see Zack. For those of you who know Zack, you will laugh at his answer to "what I want to be when I grow up".....(he is the first one speaking).

Maddie's Kindergarten graduation

Maddie had her kindergarten graduation in May. I cannot believe how quickly time goes by...it seems just yesterday I was sending her off to her first day of kindergarten.

Sheri Dew

Sheri Dew came to speak in Cedar City a couple months ago. My mom brought Carisa and her friend Beth down for a leadership weekend at SUU, so we all went and listened to Sister Dew speak at the Centrum the next morning. She is such a fantastic speaker and gave us some great reminders about our worth as women of God.

Zack's 7th Birthday

For Zacky's birthday this year we went to Funtime Inflatables here in Cedar City. The kids had a blast running from inflatable to inflatable. They also had a boxing area where the kids put on huge gloves and helmets and wrestled. It was so fun to watch because the gloves were so big they could hardly lift them. Zack had a hampster cake that was really cute. He had a great time celebrating with family and friends.

Easter 2010

Easter morning we woke up to lots of snow. The kids found their Easter eggs and ran outside to make a snow fort.
