We had a awesome time at the lake!! We got there about 2, after a morning full of baseball games. Steve and I just laid under the shade on the beach and watched the kids play!! They were content to just play on the beach so we enjoyed that time. We saw a few wild burrows, Drake caught a fish, Steve practiced swimming, and we got a ticket for not having a class II floatable on our way to pick up grandma. Brings back memories of the Bear Lake trip!! We look foward to many more lake trips.

Makenzie's 6th Birthday!!

I can't believe she is 6. Well Makenzie had a lot of little parties this year. Sierra started it off the Saturday before by wanting to bake a cake with some friends and decided to do a surprise b-day for Makenzie when she got home from a friends. It was so cute they decorated the cake and were all hiding and yelled surprise when we walked in. Then the day before her birthday we had the family party because we both worked on her birthday!! We had a family party and had a lot of fun!! She wanted a Hawaiian party so we did a flower cake and a few decorations and a flower pinata. Then her birthday we took treats into her class and then cupcakes to her baseball game. Then we went to Sawyer's games on Friday and went to Chucky Chz after. Then on Saturday we went to the lake and let her take a friend. SOOO FUN!! It got a little out of hand all because I didn't do the friend party thing. But oh well it was fun!!

Easter

Easter was a little crazy this year. I was very sad that it was so crazy. It was during the fair and spring break. We colored a few eggs with G & G "D", Jake and Stevie. They also hid their Easter gifts around the house for the kids to find later. We were so busy at the fair that we finally got in the Easter egg hunt at Grandma Staheli's with all the Staheli cousins at 5:30 Saturday night. At least the rain had cleared by then. It was lots of fun and the kids had a great time finding all the great hiding places I had. Sunday morning we were able to find Easter baskets with Uncle Brady and Aunt Angie. I think Sierra was the last this year to find her basket in the closet. We had a beautiful Sunday remembering why we celebrate Easter and the kids sang in Sacrament meeting. The did a beautiful job. Next year hopefully all my plans for this year will happen.

May Day Dance 2009

 

What a fun year!! Makenzie's was so excited to show us her moves with the parachute. She did a wonderful job and smiled so big. Sierra did a little Hawainn surfin dance. She looked like a beautiful island girl and said she couldn't look at us or else she would smile and she couldn't do that. Drake last year dressing up was awesome. He was the disco king. He really was for a day at school. He was the best boy dancer in his class and I think he was the true disco king of the night. Tyson was the winner of a $50 gift card for Maverik too. So we headed to Maverik for a little snack after the big dance.

FAIR 2009

We had a lot of fun with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends this year at the fair. We hit the rides 2 days and got everyone in at least twice I think. I'm terrible at taking pictures of the those just watching but here are a few pictures of the fair outside of the barn.
