Saturday Spotlight

Dang... I keep forgetting to post a flashback Friday, so today it is Spotlight Saturday. This little guy has been so much fun lately. He is so not a little boy anymore. In just a few short months he will be turning 5. Can you believe it. I have to say that I am a little bit sad about this. His big thing lately has been to turn the music on and dance. He has his own version of "break dancing" that is absolutely hilarious. He will even spin around on the ground. I will get a video of it soon and post it. He is such a funny little kid. I love having him as my buddy. In August he will start school and not be around quite so much. Enjoy it while you can.

Ice Skating

Hanna's class took a field trip to the ice skating rink last week and Dallin and I tagged along. Hanna hasn't ice skated in a few years, but picked it back up pretty quick. It was fun to watch her and her friends out there goofing off. It took me back to my middle school days when we would go ice skating with our friends on Friday nights and hang out. Oh, and Dallin was an angel as always, can't you tell.

Makaylas 7

Happy birthday Makayla. Last week sweet little Makayla turned 7. We celebrated with a family party on her birthday and then a friend party later in the week. This year all of the kids get to have friend parties. Makayla was so sweet this year and didn't want to leave anyone out so we invited all of the girls in her class as well as a few from the neighborhood. It was wild and crazy and we had a blast.





Makayla has always been my little tender heart. She is so kind to others and is always the first one to snuggle up beside you. Although I can tell that she is growing up, I still see the sweet sensitive little girl that she is. She is about to loose her third tooth, start soccer and have a dance performance. She loves all of these things and gymnastics. Here is a little birthday interview with her.

Disney on Ice

Last week we went to see Disney on Ice. We had a group of 18 people that met up for the show. What a fun night. The kids all really enjoyed it (including Tyler who complained about having to go). We had great seats and the show was pretty cool. AND it was Aunt Wendy's Birthday. Fun times.

Road Rash

Dallin was out riding his bike for the second time this year and managed to take quite to fall on his face. The results: a chipped tooth and major road rash. Poor guy. The scratches healed up in about a week and a quick trip to the dentist fixed his tooth right up.

More Skiing

I finally remembered to take my camera with me last weekend while we were skiing. I tried to get a few pic of the kids but the only problems is that all of them (except one little sweet girl) ski faster than I do. We really have had a great time this year up on the mountain. The season is quickly drawing to an end. The kids have all improved a great deal this year and continue to amaze me. Their favorite things to do are to go through the terrain parks and try to do the jumps, or to veer off the runs into the trees and wined there way out.

Flashback Friday

These two cute girls have birthdays next weekend. Should be fun.

He did what?

So we had an awesome weekend which included a womens conference for me and a ski day for Mitch and the four kids. Everything worked out great and then to top it all off we headed south yesterday after church to go spend some time with more family. Mitch, my aunt and cousin all had birthdays last week that we celebrated. It is always a good time when the Youngs are involved. We ended up having three of my siblings and there families, my mom, grandma, aunt and uncle and three cousins with there families all there. Since their snow is all melted, the kids played outside and had a ball. We even did a pinata for the kids. After several attempts of whacking it and minor repairs, it finally exploded and low and behold look what came out.


My little brother hid the ring in the pinata and then when it came out, retrieved it and got down on one knee and proposed in front of the whole family. She said yes and we couldn't be happier. Congrats Mitchell and Michelle. We wish you the best.
