Proud Mom!

Julia participated in her first gymnastics competition today! I was so proud of her! As I watched her, it made me wonder where my little baby went! She looked like such a big girl out there on the gym floor! Here she is warming up!
She visiting with some girls while they wait for their turn to compete!

One of her passes had three front rolls in a row in it. She did a really good job of not touching her hands to the ground!

She was third place!
For some reason, when I saw her standing there, it made me want to cry!
Phew....

Happy Valentines Day My Kiddos!

On Valentines Day the kids had a treasure hunt:

Benson found a clue!

Julia found one in her room!

Cecilia was making a lot of funny faces in the middle of the hunt....They found the treasure!

The treasure!!!!

The kids recieved a Valentine's package from Grandma Robyn! They were so excited!

Here are a few pictures taken at Benson's class party:

The kids in Benson's class were playing a dancing game, it was pretty fun!

It is funny seeing a non posed picture of myself! Normally I take all of the pictures when I am around. Mrs. Averett borrowed my camera and took a few pictures of the kids at the party.

Bowling!

We went bowling with some friends the weekend before Valentines Day, and here are a few pictures! Julia took this picture of her friend by her self!

Our friend's son was showing off his muscles!! It was so cute!

Buddies!

The kids all love playing with the arcade games!

He was so excited!

Benson just let go of the ball!

I thought that this was cute picture of Julia!

Field Trips are Fun!!!

The first of the two field trips that we went on recently was to a fireplace vacuum factory. I had no idea we had a factory like that in Price, but apparently we do! Before we went to the vacuum factory, we went with the preschool group to a local bakery for a yummy cookie.
Here is a picture of the preschool kids all together.

The owner of the factory was showing the kids one of the sewing machines they use to sew the filters for the vacuums.

The kids were pretty interested in seeing the inside of the factory.

The last field trip we went on was to the fire station with our playgroup. We learned about fire safety, and then were able to go out and look at the fire trucks!

The outside control panel

Julia can be so photogenic sometimes!!

Julia was so excited about being able to sit in the fire truck, that she ran over and volunteered to be the first one!

Cecilia taking over the fire truck controls!

Cecilia, Allee and Julia wanted to pose on the front of the fire truck!

Kelly's Wedding Pictures....(In time for her two month anniversary!!)

So, my sister has been married now for almost two months!! I am finally posting some proof of it! There are several reasons that it has taken me so long. First of all I took pictures with my mom's camera, and not mine....because I accidentally left mine at home! Secondly, life is busy and so things are often put on the back burner. This was my parent's fourth child to be married in the Logan Temple! The week surrounding the wedding was very bittersweet! I was so happy to see the joy of the wedding, but unfortunately my mom could not be at the wedding or reception. She was hospitalized due to a severe asthma attack. The doctors were afraid to have her released for the ceremony. It was neat seeing how my family pulled ourselves together despite the sadness of missing our mom. Kelly and her husband Lucas were some of the most brave and heroic people I have ever seen! I am so proud of the way they conducted themselves through everything. Here they are leaving the Temple!
A cute pose!

The girls of the family.

The boys!! Benson wanted to be included, and so he ran over and jumped in the picture! It was pretty cute!

Me and Kelly!

Kelly and my Dad.

Here is a picture taken just after the wedding at the hospital with my Mom.

Alton and Benson had so much fun together!
