What we've been up to.

My new goal for the blog is to be more consistent in updating it, we'll see how it goes. I'm going to attempt to update once a week, which is way more often than I have been, so wish me luck.

Since our trip to Disneyland, our lives have gotten back to normal and we're just as busy as ever. In March, Kenzie had a dance competition at Weber High. Their team did really well and got quite a few trophies. A few days later she danced during half-time at a Utah Jazz game. She's done this quite a few times now and she really enjoys it. We rode the Front Runner train down to Salt Lake and Les met us down there. We had to be there early for dress rehearsal and then we went to dinner before the game. We got back to the Energy Solutions Arena quite early and were able to watch the Jazz players warm up and then watched the cheerleaders and jazz comp team from Kenzie's dance school perform the pre-game show. We just missed the opportunity to get pictures with President Monson because we took too long to follow after the other dancers, but we were able to wave at him as he left. During the game, Kaden and Brooklyn were more interested in trying to find the Jazz Bear than actually watching the game, so as soon as Kenzie was done dancing we left to go get ice cream. She did a great job and we're really proud of her.


In early April, of course we celebrated Easter. We had my brothers and their families come over for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. The kids had a great time trying to find all of their eggs. My mom gave each of them their own color so everybody ended up with the same amount of eggs in the end. We ended up hiding a few of the eggs a bit too hard and the hunt took longer than we thought it would, but it was a lot of fun.


We also celebrated my mom's birthday on Easter and had cake and ice cream for her. She even got to blow out some candles. Hope you had a happy birthday mom!!!


Brooklyn and I were also able to go on a field trip with Kaden to a dairy farm. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera because I had taken the SD card out of it for a lesson I was teaching in Young Women's about temples and had filled it up with temple pictures for my digital frame. The kids had a great time and they even got to pet some calves.

Hopefully I can come up with enough stuff to write about on a weekly basis. I'll keep my camera with me in hopes of capturing some really cute stuff! Until next time......
