Ben's Graduation! Yahoo!

After three long years of very hard work, Ben has finished his Master's in Social Work from the Universtiy of Utah! We are so excited about this! On the night of his graduation we had a lot of family that came to support him! It was a neat night. Here are a few pictures:

Benson's First Science Experiment!

Yesterday, when Benson came home from preschool, he was very excited! He continously talked about the "science experiment" that they performed preschool that day! They made a baking soda and vinegar volcano. After he told me about it, I left the room to finish doing my hair. When I came back he had already set up most of the experiment himself. He wanted to show his sisters!

Going to the Richmond park:

While we were up visiting in Richmond we went to the park three times! The kids loved it! Here are a few pictures I took during one of those trips:
Julia has always been such a climber! I took this of her while I was underneath her!Cecilia spent a lot of time swinging at the park!Benson and Grandpa Blau loved playing catch with a foam nerf dart!

Great Great Grandma Buchanan's Birthday Party!

This is my kids Great Great Grandma! She is so amazing! It was great that we could all get together to celebrate her ninety fourth birthday!

For some reason Cecilia would not take her hand off of her mouth! I still liked the picture though!
Grandpa Blau and three of his four Granddaughters! The neat thing about this picture is that it was not posed! I just looked over and they were all sitting together like that!I love Cecilia's smile in this picture!
Benson with his cousin Janie! They had a lot of fun together!My brother John with his baby Beverly! She is named after our Grandma Beverly Winger who is in the picture down below:This is me with my Grandma Winger, I was so happy that my eyes were no closed. It seems like I am so unphotogenic lately! Here is a picture of some of my family at the birthday party!

Easter at Our House (Or at least what I captured of it!)

The Easter bunny left some clothes, a movie, a book and a game for the kids. Of course, he left them some Easter eggs too:










Checking out the Easter baskets:





Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Blau for the Easter package. Here is a picture of Julia loving the bunny!

Playgroup Easter Egg Hunt

Every year the playgroup has an Easter egg hunt! We always love going to it because you know that every kid will be able to find some eggs!


Julia and her friend Allee had a great time together looking for eggs!

Easter time was an exciting experience for Cecilia this year! Finding each Easter egg was a fun adventure for her!

Benson loves to look for things: money, cool rocks, and especially Easter eggs!

Trails End Easter Egg Hunt

Every year the "Trails End Realty" hosts an Easter egg hunt for the local kids. It is one of the best ones to go to, because not only do the kids receive candy, but they can win toys as well. If you pick up an egg with a ticket inside you win something special. The kids each won a stuffed bunny! Here are a few of the pictures:

I thought that Julia looked so precious in this picture! It is so funny because she really hates this coat! I love it. I told her today that if they made one big enough for me I would wear it all the time!
Benson loved the Easter egg hunt! What is not to like about an Easter egg hunt though? Easter eggs, candy and fluffy bunnies!
Cecilia woke up right before we left to go to the Easter egg hunt. I think in the pictures you can tell, because she looks half asleep!

Preparedness Fair

Once a year Carbon County hosts a preparedness fair, and the kids always love to go! Here is a summary of the activities:

A picture with me and the kids! Of course, my eyes are closed!

A picture with Smokey the Bear. Cecila did not want to be involved in this! He looked scary to her!
This was a car crash simulator that was at the preparedness fair. The kids loved it!

Benson loved this! It was almost as good as a Lagoon ride!
Julia wanted three turns!
This is picture of them by the helicopter that flew in for the fair.It was so windy and cold there! Look at Julia's hair!

Princess Party!

The girls went to a "Princess Party" recently, and they had so much fun! Some Young Women in a ward in Price put it on. It was such a neat idea! The girls felt so special!
