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!!

Scouts

Peyton had his first Cub Scout meeting.

Skee is his "Den Mother" as he wants to be called and

all I have to say it Good Luck....to the boys!

Riley, Carson and Peyton

Primary

I am so proud of my kids.

Today we started 9 o'clock church.....and I didn't

hear ONE complaint. They all set their cloths out Sat

night and went to bed on time. When alarms went off they jumped

up got dressed and were ready for Church.

I can't believe how big they are all getting.

Peyton is in Valiant 7

Stockton is in CTR 5

Easton is a Sunbeam (and I get to be his Teacher!!)

and Berklie is in Nursery and loves it!!

Swimming

The kids only had one day left till it was back to reality

and school and we hadn't taken them swimming yet

so Skee took them to the rec center while Berklie took a nap.

Peyton and Hayden underwater

Easton and Austin staying afloat

Jump

Daddy and Easton going down the slide.

This is Eastons favorite part of swimming.

We have had such a fun Christmas vacation being

together with family and friends, but Mom is ready for

school and to actually get the house clean. But I will miss my kids!!

Sledding

We decided that we would go on a sledding adventure.

So the Jones, Packers, Crocketts and us hit the slopes.

What a blast. There were quite a few people

there, but we had plenty of room to go off jumps and race to

the bottom. Skee and I thought we would only be there for

about and hour and ended up sledding for 3!!

Stockton

Mom, Easton and Berklie hitting the slopes

I packed them all on one sled and thought Berklie

would cry the whole time, but they were laughing

hysterically they couldn't get off the sled.

Peyton catching some air

Cute little Family

Dad and Berklie

Easton and Peyton hitting the jump

there were only a couple crash landings, but

everyone ended up safe and sound!!

Happy New Years!!

What a year!! I can't believe it is already over.

We usually spend New Years with the Foxs, but this year

we had the flu bug and didn't want to spread it.

We spend the night making pizzas, watching home movies,

playing the marble game and doing fireworks!

Dad is an Excellent pizza maker.

say Cheese...really lots of cheese!

The Jones also got the flu bug so we decided to let

the kids watch fireworks together. They loved it.

Easton and his first experience with a sparkler, he has

always hated them. They touch his hand he says.

Our firework finale (no humans were harmed during this production)

The cute sick kids watching from the van, poor Jordan is

holding his bucket.

Kylie and Peyton

Stockton and Mckenlie

Berklie and her sparkler.

We hope everyone had a fun New Year!!

Welcome 2010
