Wesley has a friend who he wanted to take to her Senior Prom. For their day date, they painted pictures. They went to dinner up at Sundance and then headed to the Prom at Thanksgiving Point. She is such a cute girl and they seem to have a lot of fun together.
Wes is such a good kid and I love how he seems to care about his friends and what their needs are!
Over Spring Break, Connor had surgery to fix a hernia. It was a bad way to start a vacation, but it was nice to have it taken care of. Unfortunately it cut his Lacrosse season short, but hopefully he’ll be better than ever next year!
Of course he had to be the coolest patient in the Surgical Center.
Rod and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary this year on May 2nd! It’s been a great twenty years. I could not have found a better man to marry. He loves me unconditionally, which I am so thankful for. I know that I can be a “little” difficult to live with at times and I am so grateful he puts up with me. He takes such good care of our family and really puts a lot of time into his kids needs. His love for our Heavenly Father is the anchor for our family! He is my best friend and I hate to think of where I might be without him! Rod, I love you!
It’s hard to believe that another dance year has come to an end. It has been a wonderful year. Halle has had great teachers and friends this year for dance. She seems to be improving and loving it more and more!
Halle, I am so proud of you and all your hard work and dedication. Good Job Sweetie!!
I know, soooo behind on the blogging! We’ve celebrated a few birthdays that I have missed.
Rod’s birthday was celebrated on the run. Halle had Dance attack that night, so we sang to Rod really quickly that afternoon before I took her up to Salt Lake. For Rod’s birthday I got him tickets to a taping of NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. The next week Rod and I had a great evening going to the Cheesecake Factory and then to the show.
We celebrated Braden’s Birthday twice with a party the Sunday before with Wes and Sherri’s family. Then on his birthday, we ate out at Tepanyaki. Yum! Our chef was really good and we laughed the whole time.
Finally, Connor turned 16! Wow, hard to believe. Unfortunately I didn’t plan anything exciting. With Lacrosse and dance, we had a hard time fitting it in. I promise to make it up to him next year. He did go on his first date shortly after he turned 16. I can say I wasn’t surprised that it didn’t take him very long.
I am so grateful for birthdays. They give us a time to reflect on the past year and the year ahead. Here’s to a great year for four very important guys in my life! Love you all!
In February, we went to visit my parents in Idaho. It ended up being a very cold weekend, but we managed to have a little fun. Of course we had to go shoot Grandma’s new gun.
Halle and Parker loved playing games with Grandma and riding bikes with Grandpa. I am not sure how I ended up with no pictures of Grandma and Grandpa, but they were there feeding us and taking good care of us as always. Thanks Mom and Dad, we love you tons!!
I was looking through my pictures to see how far behind in my blog I have gotten. I saw these cute videos. The kids didn't know that I was filming them.
Halle's jumped knocked her hat right off!
Parker surprised me and wasn't apprehensive at all.
