Dance Your Heart Out

The girls have been taking Dance this year and the Recital is this weekend!  They are great dancers and we are excited to watch them on stage.  I think their favorite part is that they get to wear "real" makeup!

New Spring Toys!

Our BBQ burned out last year so we had to get a new one this year!  Todd spent the day shopping and putting together this new BBQ!  It is awesome, amazing how much better than the old one.  So we had to try it out, our dinner was delicious.  Steak, chicken, peppers, tomatoes, squash and pineapple all cooked on the grill.  It was so yummy.  Oh how I love spring and summer!

The Easter Bunny brought me this fun little Green House!  I am so excited to try it out and see how it works this year.  I planted my tomatoes in the ground and started all my squash and pumpkin plants!  We also planted our raspberry patch, strawberry patch, blueberry bushes and a peach tree.  Hopefully we have fruit coming out our ears in the next few years!  

Happy Easter

Christmas

Merry Christmas!  I just love this season.  I love shopping, baking, giving gifts, driving around to see all the amazing lights, being with family, decorating gingerbread houses, surprises, the 12 Days of Christmas and wrapping presents. I love that we get to celebrate the Saviors birth and for all the magic that fills the air this time of year, I love sharing and giving to those less fortunate than I.  I love the stories, the music and the hours my kids have spent on the piano playing their Christmas music.  I love being so excited to see the smiles on my kids faces that I can't sleep!  And did I mention that I love wrapping gifts?  We hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!

Disneyland

So Grandma and Grandpa started taking all the Grandkids to Disneyland a couple years ago.  All the older kids have been and Analee is now old enough it was her turn to go with Logan and Brenna and I got to go along for the ride!  I have never been during Christmas so it was fun to see all the decorations.  The little kids were so brave and went on all the BIG rides.  If you ask them their favorite they would say Tower of Terror.  It didn't take them long to know which rides had the pictures and when they took them.  We started posing for them.  It was so funny to see two little kids posing on the rides, we acted scared, bored, asleep and did thumbs up.  It rained the first day we were there (this was a first for me also) so after we got soaked we did a Walmart run and bought rain boots and warmer clothes.  It was perfect there was absolutely nobody in the parks and we were dry and warm.  We ate good food, shopped and had a great time.

Happy Halloween!!!

It's Halloween! Tyson Carson and Ashlynn found these stick figure costumes.  They are so cool and look awesome when it is dark, you have to watch the video. (it looks black at first but you will see it)  Analee loves ladybugs (she was catching them all summer) so we had to get a ladybug costume for her.  It will be a fun night trick or treating!

It's Already Over?

The fall sports have come and almost gone.  Tyson's soccer team came in 2nd place overall!  Carson's team lost in the semi finals by one point and one second left on the clock. (I am still losing sleep over this one) And Braeden has one game left this week.  It is so sad they are over, but never fear winter sports have already started!  Braeden will try out for the basketball team in a couple weeks, Tyson has started indoor soccer and Carson is on a travel/competitive basketball team and his football team is also going to play in the Boarders Tournament in SLC in November!  
I always take my camera and video camera to the games in hopes of catching something good but 99% of the time I miss it.  This last week Braeden's team was playing Rigby and I got the interception/ score that he made!  It was so cool.  They won the game by 7 points!  Hopefully I will get more on camera!
