APRIL GOINGS ON


Ellie has been SO exhausted lately-- like extreme fatigue and sleeping constantly. She hasn't been able to play soccer this last half of the season. Since Matt and Casey have mono, I wondered if she had it and got her tested... but she doesn't have it. The Dr (Mike) thinks it could be because of her allergies. That's why were taking her to an allergist next week. I also wonder if it's because she has grown so much this year! Honestly she has shot up!!


 We always LOVE general conference! It was great! We had a wonderful weekend watching together!


Lindsey got asked to Prom by Ammon Nimmer. She was so excited! We got her a beautiful dress! Can't wait to see it on her!

Timpanogos HS does an awesome activity right before spring break called the "Spirit Bowl" My girls absolutely love it!! It is super fun and really full of school spirit. This year Cosi was basically in charge of it and did an AWESOME job!



I love it when I find crazy "selfies" like this on my phone... Gotta love Ellie :)
And yes, I am officially old... I have to wear reading glasses... yup. Sad day. the good news is that I have been reading like a beast lately... I don't know what has come over me... Maybe I am finally growing up... Maybe I am overcoming my childhood ADHD and can finally sit still!! Just this month I have read "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society- Highly recommend that book! Loved it. I have read 5/6 of Richard Paul Evans the walk series, Austenland, and now and halfway through the Princess bride!! Ha!
 Here is a little collage shot I took of our yard. I LOVE spring. These beautiful flowers in my yard make me so happy!!! Today I picked some and gave them to a dear friend of mine that is leaving from the Charleston. Annie. She has been so awesome to work with! I am going to really  miss her. Love the lilacs, the bleeding hearts and the tulips!! :) This is a beautiful world we live in.

Lindsey's track season 2014

Lindsey is running track this year for Timpanogos- her first time doing track in HS. She is doing great! She has had a cold pretty much ever since it started and still has her ankle injury, but she is toughing it out! Proud of her! She is such a cutie!!

Love this "selfie" I found on my phone. She is absolutely beautiful!!! Love her!

The shadows of her loyal supporters, Katie, Mom and Ellie :)

SPRING BREAK 2014!!!

We had a relaxing beginning of the week just hanging out at home catching up on sleep etc... Some of us were actually sick...
THEN...
at the end of the week (Wed night) we left for St. George with the Youngs, Christensens and met Rich and family there!

It was Brynnes birthday on Wednesday, so we sang to her and had cake! :) Happy Birthday #14!!

We played games for a bit


Thursday we went to Zion Natl Park and hiked Angel's landing -- well some did the whole thing- others with a serious fear of hights made it to the saddle and then waited...


I'm telling you- it is a SHEER drop off- scary! but beautiful!



going back down Wally's wiggles
The Saddle- this is where Dave, Cheri, Debbie and I stopped!! So scary!
Those that made it to the top- Bry and Rob did too :)
Ellie- the only brave one from our family!! :) Way to go!! :)

LATER ON AT THE POOL...

 That night Rich and Heidi and their cute kids joined us!!! It was awesome to see them!
Cute little Tommy!! This boy has the cutest personality!

Natalie- she's growing up so fast!



I love this shot of Tom and Spence!

Cute Cosi! :) This is our last spring break trip with her! Can't believe she's graduating so soon - then off to college!

Friday we went biking somewhere by Bloomington... it was really fun- I even tried my  hand at it- Thanks for bringing all the Bikes Cher and Bry! :)




gettin ready to bike :)




This shot cracks me up! 


Sweet Sammy!





Then on Saturday we went to the slot canyons above St. George and went rapelling! Thanks so much to Cheri and Bry and all their sweet equipment! they know how to make the trip FUN!! It was a blast watching all these kids do their THANG! :)

That is claustrophobic!! But they did it! :)

Me and Lindsey-O. Love this chicka!
