Happy Birthday Hanna

Happy 7th birthday Hanna. I can't believe it, we have an 8 1/2 year old and now a 7 year old. Hanna started her birthday with a trip to the salon with Aunt Jessy. Jess cut her hair and fixed it in a beautiful up-do. Then she put on makeup and painted her fingernails. After she was done we met up with her best friend Lily and had lunch with her and her mom. After lunch we spent some time with the family and had a family party for her that night. Hanna asked for cheesecake this year. (last year it was banana splits) Hanna is so fun to have around. She is always happy and willing to help out. She loves her brothers and sisters and is a good friend. She is very smart and an awsome athlete. We love you Hanna. Happy Birthday!!!

Free Money

I just got this off a friends blog.

Revolution Money Exchange is a new online service similar to PayPal. To help spread the word they are giving $25 to anyone who creates a new account before May 15, 2008. I just did it and it was easy and fast.

Just click the green button on the right side of my blog. After you sign up, they will transfer $25 to your account. Then, you can link your bank account to transfer the money there.

Once you are a member, you can refer your spouse. They will get $25 and you will get an extra $10 for the referral.

Quick and easy $60!!

San Francisco

Mitch and I went to San Francisco for spring break. We sent the kids to stay with family and enjoyed a weekend away.

Meeka's Birthday Party

Makayla and her best friend Shaylee both have March birthdays so we decided to do a combined party and invite girls from our neighborhood. And what a better way to celebrate than with a pajama party. We had all of the girls wear there pj's, played musical pillows and ate yummy smiley face pancakes. It was so much fun and so little work. Thanks Dorie and Nate for all of the help. Another birthday party success. Now Hanna's birthday is just around the corner.

Science Fair

This year we decided to participate in the science fair at Ty and Hanna's school. Since there school is only K-2nd grade they encourage the children to enter as a family so that everyone can help. We found an idea on the internet and the kids actually did most of the project by themselves. They had a fun time. We ended up with sooo much popcorn and our house smelled like popcorn for a few days. It was a great learning experience for them. Next year Tyler will be going to a different school and we will get to do two projects.

Happy Easter

These pics are also way over due. We had a wonderful Easter this year. The kids decorated eggs, enjoyed all kinds of goodies in there baskets and we had Easter dinner at our house this year. It was very low-key and enjoyable. It just kind of snuck up on us this year. It is so fun to watch the kids and all of there excitement. Oh yeah, and don't ever expect to get four kids looking in the same direction (with cute expressions) all at the same time. I thought that this would get easier as they got older because they can listen and follow directions. Ha Ha! For mother's day I have asked for a portrait of the four kids in church clothes with smiles. OK not even smiles, just no grimaces or cheese faces. We'll see how it goes.

Skiing

OK so this was way back in March, but I thought that I would just share a few pics of the kids skiing. We had a great time this year. Hanna and Ty are quite the little skiers. Makayla had absolutely no interest in even trying this year, but next year we hope to get her and Dallin up there and make it a whole family event. There are tons of great ski resorts around and with such a great winter how could we not take advantage of it. Fun times.
