Sunday Morning

When we woke up on Sunday morning to come home this is what we saw out the window....

My truck was under there somewhere...it took me a good 10-15 minutes to get it cleared off to leave, the roads leading out of Cedar City were snowy, and we passed quite a few cars that had slid off the road. We made it through safe and sound....can I just say my truck rocks ;)

History Fair






DaNell competed in the History Fair at CEU with her friend, together they re-created a scene from history involving Queen Elizabeth the I and Mary Queen of Scotts. They took 1st place and get to go to Sandy in April to compete at state...Great Job Girls. Here are a couple pics of the dress we made for the scene. Good Luck at the next competition girls :)

Brian Head Ski Trip 2011

The kids and I took a trip to Brian Head Ski Resort this weekend. We took a 3 hour family snowboarding lesson. Taylor was a natural and took right off with whatever the instructor threw at him, the rest of us took a bit to get going. Getting up was the most difficult part, I have to say all the kids got it way before I did, we all took a few tumbles, me taking the most, the instructor was great, and had a lot of patience. Taylor is ready to go again, I think next time I will try skiing to which one I like better. Here are a few pics, hope you enjoy them :D

New Year

Well the New Year started off busy and hasn't slowed down yet. DaNell competed in the Science Fair and her project won 1st Place in the Behavioral and Social Science (Senior Division) Category, she gets to go to Cedar City in March to compete in the Regional Fair. She is now preparing for the History Fair in February. She is also giving a speech for FBLA in February and she tried out for and made the Quiz Bowl Team, the practices begin this week then onto competitions. Good Luck DaNell!
Taylor is doing well too, broken arm is healed and he is getting anxious for Baseball season to start. This year he moves up to Babe Ruth, No more Little League for him :( But I think he is ready to move on to bigger and better.
Schydi is doing really well, she has passed off all of her multiplication times tests 1-9 an mixed problems and is now working on division. She has learned this year to be a little quieter and not talk to much. She is looking forward to Valentines Day and the party in her classroom.
Leyton is doing good, we are working on his reading and letter/sound recognition. He went for the fist 4 months of school not really talking much, to now getting into a little trouble for talking too much.....:-) His teacher is so happy he is finally talking. Stay Tune for a couple surprises coming up, Schydi made me promise not to tell just yet. She wants to have pics to show everyone!

Christmas Party 2010





Last night was our annual Christmas Party, we decided to have it at our house this year, and boy did we have fun. We started out making homemade donuts for dessert, they turned out wonderful and didn't last long, they were gone before the party even started.....sorry to those who missed out, next time we will double or maybe even triple the recipe. Grandma Nette brought in mexican food for the main course, and we had some lemon chiffon and chocolate pie that Schydi and DaNell had made, everything turned out great. The kids played and anxiously awaited Santa's arrival. After Santa we got this bright idea to sing karaoke I guess you could say.....it was interesting to say the least, waiting to see the videos...could be scary. We sang Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Grinch, All I wanna DO, Stuck Like Glue, I'm too Sexy, and we got Ryan and Tyler to sing Walkin Round in Womans Underwear......Really can't wait to see that last one. It was a ton of fun! Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy these pics of the kids seeing Santa.
