IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE...

NO WAIT! IT'S DAVID HASSELHOFF!
Sorry, I just couldn't help it after I saw the way this picture turned out.

Ready, Set, DIVE!

So many picture to catch up on! These are from the kids swimming lessons. It is amazing how the little ones won't even put their face in the water and after a couple of weeks are diving off the board! Grace had this "butterfly" position everytime she went into the water.

Any Bed Will Do

Grace still does not manage to stay in her bed the entire night. Audrey didn't seem to notice that she ended up BEING Grace's bed!

Grace's 4th Birthday

Yes, it's true. My baby is 4 years old. It makes me sad. She is the funniest, cutest, naughtiest, strong-willed girl but we love her just the way she is! I made several of these flowers out of balloons for her decorations.

She wanted a "purple" birthday. I found a Tinkerbell theme and she was thrilled.
My wonderful neighbor, Pam, decorated these beautiful cupcakes for Grace's party and YES they are all edible!

We set up the waterslide and had cake out on the patio. All the kids were wet and all the neighbors and family attended. What fun!



Happy Birthday Grace Marie! We love you so much!

Summer 2008

We traveled to Bozeman, MT to attend the McKay/Turner family reunion and took our time coming home. We stopped in West Yellowstone and took the kids to the Bear and Wolf Exhibit, then onto Rexburg where we said "Hi" to Kaitlin and walked the new Rexburg temple grounds, then we stopped in Idaho Falls to visit Ryan's family and ended our trip with a visit to "Bear World". It was nice to be able to take our time and do whatever we wanted. Enjoy the pics!

Dance Video

Shelly, For fear of embarrassament...this one's for you. Video during dress rehearsal. No, I didn't have my feathers attached yet!

Maple Leaf Rag

Another year - another recital. Audrey is wanting to quit for the summer but I think she better keep on playing! She had two pieces - my favorite, the Maple Leaf Rag. She will play it at home as fast as she can. We clocked it at about 100 mph.

Wilson's Pond

Free fishing day is an annual trip we like to take. It's close and inexpensive and always fun. The fish this year were not biting but the ducks were! We fed them BBQ potato chips and the kids played hide and seek in the long grass.

Sheila's Advanced (in years) Tap Class

Flashback to 5th grade: So here I am in makeup and costume and my parents are in the auditorium to watch me tap dance. (I have some video but couldn't get it to upload.) We probably looked ridiculous but the crowd cheered anyway and we had three more women sign up for next year's class. If nothing else, we got a little bit of exercise and a whole lotta laughs!
