Look at those bright, shiny whites! Megan got her braces off this week. Her teeth look great! Of course she has to get them back on again in a couple years but for now she only has to wear her retainer at night. She is thrilled to be able to eat all those sticky, gooey …

School’s out – Let’s Celebrate!
School has ended and what a better way to finish off a great school year than to have a celebration! It began at about 9:30 am when nearly 30+ of Jake’s classmates arrived at my house. I was informed by my sixth grader that no games of duck-duck-goose would be acceptable so instead we left …
Sixth Grade Graduation!
Can you believe it?! My oldest just graduated from sixth grade! I am now a mother of a junior high student. Yikes!! Graduation was pretty quick and simple, but I enjoyed watching the slide show and the review of the past year. I can’t wait to see what the future brings for this boy. I …
Movin’ on up
Our not-so little six year old has officially completed kindergarten. She will be headed to first grade in the fall. Kindergarten was a breeze for Claire. She was a such a good reader going in, that even the most difficult book assigned, wasn’t much of a challenge. It wasn’t long before Mrs. Beck, her teacher, …
2012 Annular Solar Eclipse
On Sunday, May 20th Utah was the best spot to see the annular solar eclipse of 2012. We didn’t want to burn our retinas, so we did a quick science experiment and made a pinhole projector and set it up in our back yard. It worked pretty well for the first half hour of the …

Drew has officially graduated from his first year of preschool. I have never participated in the “Joy School” type of preschool before. There were four of us and we took turns teaching two days each month. It was an interesting challenge with four rambunctious little boys, but in the end we made it through with …
Claire’s Gymnastic’s Recital
Claire has been taking gymnastics at the American Fork Recreation Center since September and she absolutely LOVES it! She is in the advanced girl’s class (mostly kindergarteners). This past Saturday she had her gymnastics recital. It is very low-key and each class goes from station to station displaying what they learned through the year. Claire …
Thanksgiving Point
This past week me, Drew and Ellie met up with Rachel and her kids and G’ma Jan and went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Due to my hectic schedule it wasn’t perfect timing for me and honestly I wasn’t really thrilled to be going. However, it turned out to be a near perfect …
Easter in St. George
It was a first for our family, Easter away from home. We decided to go and visit my Dad and Kathy in St. George. Although it was a little different than what we have done in the past, it turned out to be a wonderful weekend away. Our trip began Friday after school. We loaded …
Happy 6th Birthday Claire!
The highly anticipated day has arrived, Claire’s birthday. She has been counting down the days for as long as I can remember. We didn’t plan a big party, as I only do one of those every couple years, but I did offer to take a couple of her friend’s to the swimming pool to play …
