VIP

On June 24 we got to go to the VIP night at the PNE! It was so fun! We got tickets for dinner, games, and unlimited rides! The kids had a blast!

We all loved the swing.






The little roller coaster




And of course the log ride!



They enjoyed the cotton candy and popcorn.


And winning prizes at the midway games!

Deneile's Baptism


On June 20th Deneile was baptized. It was a wonderful time.



Scott baptized her and did her confirmation.






My mom and I did the talks.




We had some Rootbeer floats for a treat. (thanks for the help ladies)


We had a lot of family and friends come and support us. We were very lucky to have all the help we had to get everything together!


Thanks Judi for taking all the pictures.

Then our family all came to our house for supper (which I didn't get pictures of). Thanks to Lori and Roger for the delicious smoked turkey and everyone who brought things for us to share!

I am so greatful for this amazing experience. I am glad that we are able to have the gospel in our lives and that Deneile was willing to accept it and be baptized.

Who Knew

Who knew 4 year olds could be so tricky.


We bought the boys new hats, one is blue (for Dallin) and one is green (for Alex). A couple of days ago we were outside and they were both wearing their hats. Alex was not aloud to ride his bike because he had taken it out without permission but Dallin was riding on the grass just behind our place. Alex was really wanting to ride Dallin's bike. He was trying to convince Dallin to let him ride. Dallin was not letting him. Finally Alex convinced Dallin to let him ride his bike. But he knew that Alex wasn't aloud to ride so he said, "Ok, you can ride my bike, but... lets switch hats first". I was flabbergasted! I couldn't believe that a 4 years old my boys were already trying to decieve me! I called out to have Alex get off the bike. Dallin was standing there while I was calling. He called back to me. "I'm Alex... that's me, Dallin." What am I going to do now!








UP!!

A couple of weeks ago Scott had a friday off.  After watching the kids in their sports day we decided to go to a movie.  We had been waiting for Disney's movie UP.  So since we had some free movie passes we took all the kids to the 3D movie.

Sushi



I went to a cooking class at my church a little while ago and we learned to make sushi.  So We decided to make it!!  It was so fun.  The kids loved it.  Deneile said it was even better than the sushi we can buy in the store!  Gotta love it!





Ballet


Deneile and Ava were in dance classes this year.  So on May 23rd they had their year end dance recital.  It was fun to be able to watch them up on stage!

Ava's class were circus bears




They did a very cute dance.  I wish I could figure out how to do the video so you could see it.


Deneile's class were squirrels.  Their dance was also very cute.





I was costume parent for Deneile's class this year.  I thought it would be a pretty easy thing since the last 2 years the costume parent just washed and did a little mending of the costumes already provided.  This year the teacher wanted them to be squirrels and there was no costume for it.  So She gave me a bunch of tulle and asked me to make squirrel tails.  So of course I did what every girl - who doesn't know the first thing about making costumes - does.  I called my mom. She gave me the idea about putting craft wire up through the tulle.  So that is what I did and the result was very cute.  The teacher was very impressed and said that it was better then what she was thinking.  So thanks mom!
