Fishin' at New Castle Res. & Pinto Creek

Kindergarten Graduation

Crey's Kindergarten graduation was so much fun to watch. Crey was really excited to finally finish Kindergarten and get on with 1st grade. He kind-of had a tough year so we are hoping next year will be better!!

Ridin' the Bull

We all need to be a kid again, right?? We had so much fun riding this bull at Mary's wedding reception! Look at all those smiles :)

Parowan & Provo Dance Competitions

Tylie's dance group performed several dances at the annual dance competitions in Parowan and Provo. They were awarded superior for every dance that was performed by ConfiDance in Parowan and Tylie's group took 1st place for two of their dances and 2nd place for their Hip Hop performance in Provo. This was the first year ConfiDance went to competition so we were all excited by how well they performed & placed.

Dumont '10

Sick of the snowy, windy, cold weather of Southern Utah we headed to the Dumont Dunes in CA for spring break. We all had so much fun and it was a much needed break from reality -and the cold weather! The kids rode the 4 wheelers the whole time, only parking them to eat and sleep. I had such a great time hanging out with family and friends. There was a family camping with us that were friends with my uncle Brad and after a short time we realized that Ty was related to them. I fell in love with the Laub family! They were so much fun and extremely funny! We left Dumont feeling refreshed and anxious to go back!





Devin getting ready to take his bike for a ride. I wanted to get pics of him riding wheelies up the dunes but never took my camera out on rides.

Ty relaxing it the shade.

Jade is such a good sport!

There are always breakdowns at the dunes. Bryce was pretty ticked off about his bike not starting and I wasn't sure who he was going to take out first -the bike or Brad. Brad is such a tease and was giving Bryce a hard time.

Bryce, Devin, Ty and Brayden hangin' out in the trailer. Brayden is GANGSTA!!

We set up a "barrel" racing course. We all had a blast trying to out-race each other. Several people stop to watch us CrAZy HiLlBIlLiEs. This is Leah showing us how it's done!
No four wheeler? No problem! (Kurt)

Jade ended up with the fastest time



Even the kids had a good time trying to out-do the adults

James

Brad hates losing and ran the course on every four wheeler we had at camp(several times!) trying to beat the record but he never was fast enough.


Bryce showing off his muscles. I sure have some good lookin' brothers!

Roundin' my second "barrel"

On my way to the finish. I had the fastest time out of the girls -ooohhh yaaa!!

Crey thought the jump Ty made was pretty cool! Look at that air!!

It's Raining Talent

Tylie and Kenna clogging at the school talent show. Thanks Tammy for teaching them this cute dance!

It has been way too long since I have updated the blog. Sorry everyone!
We have had a very long and snowy winter! I am waiting as patiently as I can for the warm spring weather to get here.
Tylie is still in dance and has had many performances the last couple of months with several more coming up. She is also still taking piano lessons (because I won't let her quit) and is doing very well. She has started art classes this month. She has an amazing talent to draw! She really wants to start violin lessons soon -I will have to see if we can fit it into our busy schedule. She is doing very well in school but is ready for the summer break with no homework! I can't believe she is going to be 9 in a couple of months! It makes me sad to start getting into the sassy stages!
Crey is still my soft hearted little boy. He is loves to cuddle his mommy and stops what he is doing several times a day to come and tell me he loves me. School has been so good for him and has brought him out of his shell. He is still shy but not nearly as bad as he was when school started. He loves to shoot guns and his bow. He is always outside digging in the dirt.
Ty is a councilmember for Kanarra and the secretary of the Elder's quorum in our ward. He is working much closer to home this summer which I am SO thankful. Having him gone last summer was really hard!
I am in my third year of serving in the Young Womens in my ward. We have many activities that keep me extremely busy but I still LOVE it! The girls and other leaders are so much fun to be around and we get pretty silly most of the time! I feel really blessed to have each of them a part of my life. I am still taking piano lessons and slowly learning but hanging in there. I look forward to the day that I can sit at the piano and play beautiful music! I tend full time and love the kids that I get to spend my day with. Sometimes I think it would be easier to go to work but I am thankful I can be home for my kids.
Our family stays really busy with all our activities but we are always able to find time to get outside and enjoy nature and get together with extended family. If it were up to me I would spend every weekend with family and friends! I will try to post more often!
