Sure enough, it is that time of year again that sweet Katelyn turns another year older. Didn’t that JUST happen not too long ago?! She is growing up far too fast. This was her year for a “friend” party and she wanted to have an art theme so we hired her art teacher to come …

Halloween 2013
Another Halloween has come and gone. I feel like this year has been a bit of a whirlwind and Halloween crept upon us before we even realized it. Each of the kids, with the exception of Katelyn, created some type of costume from the items we had laying around here (or chose to use costumes …
Our little soccer firecracker!
After Ellie’s last season of soccer I had decided we would wait at least a year before giving it another try. She mostly cried and preferred to roll around with her friends on the field rather than actually play anything that resembled soccer. However, after some coercing from a friend of mine, I succumbed and …
Claire – Soccer 2013
It had to think strategically this soccer season. Six kids, five of which want to play soccer and only two parents. Hmmm, how were we going to make this work? Well, I signed Claire of with AF rec center as most of their games are on Wednesday. I put Ellie in Cedar Hills tot soccer …
Cascade Springs
When the weather man reported a high of 75 degrees, we figured we better jump at the chance to head up the canyon and see the fall colors.

Mrs. Beck’s Kindergarten Drew has several kids from our ward in his class which has made it an easy transition …
First Day of School
With excited anticipation, my kiddos woke up early to prepare for their first day of school. I think everyone ended up wearing the outfit that was chosen in the fashion show the night before. They all looked beautiful (or handsome) and happy on their way out the door. This year I was ready for school …
Do Good Continually – Back to School 2013
Keeping with tradition, we had our annual “Back-to-School” fashion show. Everyone put together three outfits and strutted their stuff on the red carpet. As the kids get older, I find they get more comfortable having fun so each year is more and more entertaining. After using our cute ballots (see below) that Megan made, we …
