Tennis

Ashley has been trying to talk us into going and playing tennis for a long time. She can't decide if she wants to try out for the tennis team or the volleyball team this year. The kids had a good time. I am so glad I can still talk Chase into spending time with the family every once in a while.

Abby's Birthday

On Abby's birthday we went to Kevin and Ana's house to take Abby a gift. Ana was at girls camp. Ana's parents were in town to watch their kids. Kevin had all the kids and the grandma and grandpa have a balloon popping contest. This game scarred Braden and Calie. They ended up hiding behind the recliner scarred to death. It was a fun game Kevin, maybe your kids will like it in a couple more years.

Violin Recital (Spring 2008)

Family Home Evening at our house

We were in charge of Family Home Evening in May. We had planned to go to the park to have a barbecue because the weather this Spring has been so beautiful. Monday the temperature jumped up to 111 degrees. Dave calls me at 5:30 and says, he thinks it is to hot to go to the park. I had been shopping all day and came home, cut up watermelon and made some brownies. Needless to say my kitchen was trashed and everyone was supposed to come at 6:00 o'clock. Dave's family ended up being a little bit late, so it gave me and my kids plenty of time to clean up. We set up the slip and slide and the kids blew up water balloons. The kids and Kevin played water games and had a water fight. When I was taking pictures I found out you never stand in front of a bunch of little kids that have a water blaster full of water. I told them that I was not in the water fight but some how I ended up with a face full of water. We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs. Dave gave the lesson. The kids were all participating so good. It is always so much fun to get together with Dave's family once a month and have family night. The kids love spending time with their cousins.

6th Grade Science Project

Kylie got 3rd place at the Science Fair this year. She did the 12 day cool whip experiment. She put a bowl of cool whip and a bowl of whipping cream out on the cupboard for 12 day. The cool whip just shrunk and turned into a plastic like substance and never started to stink, she drew a big smily face on it. The whipping cream turned yellow, got soooo stinky and moldy, we had to put a lid on it because the smell got so bad. Good job Kylie on gettting 3rd place!

12'th Birthday Party

What a fun 12th Birthday party. The girls started off by having a big water fight. I bought a bunch of water blaster guns and water balloons from the dollar store. The water blaster guns worked so good. Then they ate pizza and bread sticks and cake and ice cream. The girls had a licorice eating contest. They played a gum game, where you have to roll 2 dice and try and get doubles. If you roll doubles you have to put the hat and tie on and the oven mittens on as fast as you can and then you have to try and open a piece of bubblicious gum with a knife and fork and then you have to chew the gum and try and blow a bubble before somebody else rolls doubles. This was a pretty funny game. They also played the candy bar game and told scarry stories out on the tramp. Happy 12th Birthday Ky. We love you!

Kylie gets Beehived

Kylie's Beehive class came and beehived her the Wednesday before her birthday. I can't believe she is in mutual now. My kids are all growing up to fast. She has awesome beehive teachers. She is going to have so much fun in thier class.

Spring Sing 2008

Kylie and Katie did such a good job at their Spring Sing. This year Kylie got to wear pajama's. It was weird letting her wear pajamas, they usually are supposed to wear Sunday best. We went to Dairy Queen after the concert with some of the girls friends. It was fun for Ashley to spend time with some of her elementary friends, because she doesn't get to see them very much anymore.
