Bowling

Saturday was a very lazy day.
Luckily it was warm enough that we went outside and
played baseball, rode bikes and Skee and I chipped
the golf ball across the street.
Oh how much I want spring!!
Once the sun disappeared and it became COLD again we
decided to go bowling.
Cute little Berklie
(the flash was pretty bright)
Stockton bowled quite a game
Peyton got 2 strikes in a row.
Easton only lasted 1 game, he was hungary and
mad he couldn't throw the ball like the older boys!
Mister professional bowler
(although I almost beat him both games)
Love when the kids get a hold of the camera...I did
bowl a strike when this was taken
Cute little kiddies
No one else would get in the picture
they were having too much fun.

VIP

In school this week Stockton has been the VIP of his class.
He has enjoyed being the President of his class
so much. He got to do the weather, the calendar and
many other things as head of the class.
Stockton is such a good boy. He is always willing to help
me with his younger siblings. He LOVES school, his
teacher and classmates.
On Friday the Family went to school to celebrate with
Stockton and tell all about him.
I made him a poster, he did a little double dutch and we
watched a movie I made of his life up till now.
We love Stockton
Mrs. Wells is the BEST teacher. Each child sits and
the whole class gives them compliments. Stockton was just
beaming with all the compliments he got. One little girl
raised her hand and yelled out "Stockton, I LOVE YOU!!"
What a fun little class.
We are so proud of you Stockton for being such
a good boy. You are loved by so many and are such
a GREAT example.

Temple

What a Beautiful place.
Skee and I decided last minute to go visit
the Temple last night. What an Awesome Experience.
I love the Temple (I especially LOVE going with Skee)
There is nothing like making a crazy day bareable.
So Thank You Skee for being worthy to take me to the Temple!!

Utah Gymnastics

Some of us girls went out for a "girls night"
and went to the University of Utah girls gymnastics meet.
I have never been and lets just say WOW it
was a lot of fun and there were tons of fans there!!
Berklie was such a good girl she sat on my lap
basically the whole time and watched the girls.
They competed against Georgia and of course...they won!!
Berklie wouldn't put down the lipstick so this is the best we got!!
GO UTES!!

Lazy Saturdays

Lately Berklie thinks she is TOO old for naps and it
is driving me crazy. She isn't even 2 yet.
I will put her on her bed and think she is a sleep, but
when I check on her she has put ALL of her toys on her bed
and is playing quietly.
That is fine and all except around 6 pm I go looking for her and
find.......
Saturdays are kind of our boring, get stuff done and ready
for the week days...so Skee spiced things up a bit...
Mckenlie and Stocktons hut
Kylie and Peytons hut
Easton had his own
and Berklie made herself welcome in all 3.
The best part about it was they played ALL day in them,
lunch, snacks and dinner if we would have let them.

No School

Because of Martin Luther King day the kids
had no school and luckily Skee didn't have to work.
Anyone that knows Skee knows he hates to sit at
around and do nothing.....so we took the kids to Kangaroo
Zoo and then miniature golfing.
My cute kiddies getting ready to golf.
Berklie wanted to do it herself.
Just proof that I was there.
Easton liked the baby tiger and his Mommy
Stockton with a parrot.
After Kangaroo Zoo the kids wanted to go swimming
and since we have passes to the rec center...off we went.
We have really loved our water camera.
The kids love to pose under water.
Ethan came with us and had a lot of fun posing for
the camera. It took them a couple times and finally I had
to hold them underwater because they kept floating to the top.
Peyton and Hayden
Going around the mote like 500 times.
Thanks for a fun day dad!!
Now what to do tomorrow??

Classic

On Tuesday it was Quality Teaching Day for the schools
so I needed to get out and do something fun with kids....
not that Monday wasn't fun!!
So I got some of the girls together and we hit Classic Skating.
It was a lot of fun. It wasn't as crowded as I thought
and the BEST part....there was NO fighting!!
They jumped, skated and did the pirates cove till
their hearts were content!!
Berklie on the Pirates Cove going down the slide.
She sat at the top for about 10 min. She kept talking herself
into going. Finally Peyton "helped" her.
Fun little boys
The gang
This group of kids could and would be together every
day and night if we let them.
I guess it works because all the adult have a blast too.
I love these boys. Everything is a game to them they would
ride their scooters do a bunny hop, jump onto
the carpet and then do a football yell.
And then there are these 3.
Berklie, Oakley and Dyson
Berklie thought it was funner to push than to ride.
Jordan was going potty and they sat and waited for him
Thanks girls for a fun day. Summer WILL be a blast!!

Pack Meeting

Peyton had his 1st Pack Meeting on Saturday
He received his Bobcat.
He is really enjoying being in Scouts and has a lot of fun.
Good Job Peyton!!

Kangaroo Zoo

It has been hard since the holidays are over. Berklie and Easton
are bored beyond belief so we decided to go get some
energy out and what better place than Kangaroo Zoo.
Nick, Jordan and Easton
They only stopped for a picture and they were off
bouncing all over the place.
Berklie is getting pretty big, she can climb up the slides by
herself and goes down with NO fear!!
Berklie going down the BIG slide.
Jack and Berklie
Jack didn't like it all that much, but he has been
sick so maybe next week will be better!
These cute little boys!! They are missing one other little friend
but I'm sure he will come next time!!
