Katelyns Dance Recital!

I forgot that I had these professional pictures, so I had to add them as well.

Katelyn has been learning Ballet and Tap for the last couple of years. She loves it and looks forward to her weekly dance class. She loves seeing her friends and learning with them. She just had her end of the year dance recital and she did an excellent job in both her dances.

Here are their cute little tap costumes.

My two cute neices are some of Katelyns biggest fans and supporters, Brooklyn and Madison, you are so cute!!!

Their cute little ballet outfits. Little angels!

Happy 30th Jason!!!

That is right, I am officially married to an OLD man! Jason isn't a huge fan of surprises or being put on the spot, so for his 30th birthday I decided to do both. What a loving wife I am! He actually liked the attention, so there were no hard feelings.
The birthday celebration started on Saturday when I got babysitters and we went out to dinner and had some friends waiting at a restaurant to surprise him, I think that someone in the group spilled a little info about the dinner, but he still acted surprised. I had a questionairre that was filled with juicy info about Jasons life to see who knew him the best, it was really fun to hear what people thought. Jason was a pretty good sport! And then some of us went bowling afterwards. It was a lot of fun!

Jasons actually birthday was on Monday, but we opened presents on Sunday because Monday was going to be pretty busy. We got him a 'rowing machine' because he has always said that he wanted one, so now there are no excuses about not excersising, he he!
I made Jason a birthday breakfast and he didn't even eat all of it, but he appreciated it, and Katelyn made the orange juice, what a good helper!

Since Jason was the coach of Katelyns soccer team, he wanted to have a barbeque with the whole team, and we ended up doing it on his birthday. So we had a fun soccer cake that read 'congrats team, Happy Birthday Coach.' The girls all loved it.

So Happy Birthday Jason, you are a great husband and father. We love you and appreciate all the hard work that you do. Hope you had a Happy 30th Birthday!

The Pink Turtles!

What a name for a soccer team! They actually are a bit faster than turtles, but they wanted the name so we let them have it. We have had a fun first season of soccer. Katelyn loves having her daddy be the coach and I have been in charge of the league. So we have been quite busy with it, but it has been fun for Katelyn to play with her friends and to make some new ones as well.

All the teams got medals and they were very excited about them and all the parents were very proud of how much they have improved. Katelyn is pretty fast and aggresive. She is looking forward to playing again next year, and we are going to put Henry in soccer as well.

Having lots of Grandma time!

My kids got tons of Grandma time this past week. My Grandma and Mom came all the way down from Canada to watch my kids while we went on our cruise. How nice of them. My kids were so excited to see them and spend time with them. Although, everytime Henry saw my moms truck he thought they were going to go and see Grandpas cows. Katelyn and Henry keep on asking me when we are going to go to Canada!
Here is GG playing with Morgan, the kids have really gotten to know her very well, it has been a really treat to have her around for the week! I was able to spend a few days with them after we got home and it was so nice. We made Jason babysit on Saturday while we 'ran a few errands.' Yes that did also include some shopping! We went out to lunch and it was really fun having girl time(as Katelyn would call it)!
Grandma found these pretty pine cones at the park so Katelyn wanted to make some pretty Christmas trees out of them! Fun!
If you haven't noticed Henry in the background of this picture, then look now and guess what he was just barely doing, or trying to do! It was so funny, he came running out of the bathroom at the same time that I took this picture. We have been trying to get him to go pee on the potty and he just refuses. Although today he actually did go, so we are making some progress! Yipee! I just thought that was a priceless picture, you can't see anything, so I don't know exactly what he was doing!
Playing Henrys new game that he got for his birthday, 'Hulabaloo!' Thanks Brianne for telling me to get it. It's a cute game although Henry doesn't quite get it yet!
What cute girls!
My mom and Grandma couldn't believe how much food Morgan could eat. She just downs food without even pausing. They said that my kids were really good for them while we were gone, so I'm very glad that things went well. I'm so grateful that I was able to leave them in good hands and also to come home to a VERY clean house! It was sooo nice! Thanks Grandma and Mom, you guys are awesome!

Katelyns Preschool Graduation!

Katelyn has absolutely loved going to preschool, but she is ready to move on to 'Kindergarten!' She is going to miss her class and definetly 'Ms Amy' who has made the last two years so much fun!
Katelyn got to be Momma Bear in their little skit, she loves acting and having a ton of fun, it was very cute to watch!
They've gone on tons of field trips and have learned so much! We are excited to have her move on and Henry is very excited to be able to go to Ms. Amys class next year!

Yipee, just mom and Morgan at home!

Our First Cruise!

Father Son Campout!

Jason and Henry got to go to our Stake Father/Son Campout! I think that Jason was more excited than Henry, although he was excited to! This is what they looked like when they got home, plus the smell of campfire really bad! Jason said that Henry didn't go to sleep until 11:00pm(usually goes around 7:30pm) and he ate about a half bag of marshmellows. So I'm sure that they he was in heaven. It was pretty cold, but they survived.
Katelyn wanted to have a GNO so I let her sleep with mommy and she loved that! I love that we can spend time with our kids, they are at such a fun age and we will be able to do more fun things together as they get older!
We leave on our cruise tomorrow, YIPEE!!!
