First Day of School 2010

My how time flies. All three girls going to school all day. I have cried straight now for two days and thought this day would be a lot easier. Boy was I wrong!!!!!!! Good thing I'm going to work three days or I might be in real trouble. I am so proud of my girls and wish them the best school year ever.

Ashlee is our fashion expert. She really liked this jacket as you can tell and really worried about what to wear on her first day of 4th grade. I can't believe time has gone by this fast. We are so excited to see what Ashlee learns this year, she is always challenging herself so it should be a great year.

Haylee is going to be in second grade this year and met her teacher last night. She loved her and is going to have such a fun year. Haylee looked so cute and couldn't wait to go and meet new friends. We can't wait to see how much she grows this year.

Natalee is a big Kindergartener this year. She was so excited for school she could hardly wait. I'm going to really miss her company but am so glad she is excited to go. We are all looking forward to learning new things with Natalee.

Our Fun Family Trip

Aaron had to go to Sundance Wy. for a business trip so we decided to follow. He hooked us up with this great outdoor pool for the daytime and then we got to sight see with him in the evenings. We ended up having so much fun. Here are a few great pictures of the girls just taking it all in.

Natalee loved this pool she could swim and touch so bathing mermaid was such a fun game.

My determined child Haylee. She wanted to get across this rope so bad so she was strong enough that when she couldn't touch she would swing across the rope like monkey bars and finish. By the end of the week she had blisters on her hands but didn't ever give up.

Haylee choose to visit a fish hatchery. We all ended up loving it and feeding tons of fish. The girls wanted their pictures by the biggest ones.

We drove up a canyon and happen on this beautiful waterfall the girls just had to pose for a picture.

We hiked around Devils Tower and the girls loved the Indian legend of the bear attacking his sisters and clawing the rocks to make the Tower. Haylee is sure that is true.

Loved this picture of course beautiful backdrop, mom wanting a good picture and what happens? Ashlee pretends to push Haylee off this cliff. Thanks so much but true life right!!!

Truck picture they were so good and only had to bathroom break when there were none insight. Memories made all the way around.

Ashlee would not get off the slides. This is the only one I could catch her on and she finally talked Haylee into going with her. We had a blast. Thanks Dad

Who taught her to sew?

She did a great job and stuck with it. I thought it was pretty cute but we are not going to be manufacturing any anytime soon.

Ashlee decided she wanted to make a hat. So I took her to the fabric store and this is what we ended up with. The measuring directions were a little off so Natalee ended up with a hat too. Only a small melt down of frustration and luckily enough fabric for a second attempt. Thank goodness.

Haylee's last day of First Grade

Haylee was so sad to be done with school. She had a great year and got to read a poem at the final assembly. She did so great this year and her teacher made special calls home to tell us how great Haylee did on her reading this year. We are so proud of her. Ashlee got a special trophy made for her for her reading goals this year but Grandpa Rudy took all the pictures at the assembly it I haven't gotten any yet. Way to go girls.

She Graduated Finally!!

Natalee made this hat special and told me she colored it really bright so I could find her on stage. Hers was the only one colored so I couldn't miss her.
Natalee had Pre School graduation in May and was so excited to move to Kindergarten. She really doesn't understand why she has to wait until September to start. Funny girl.

Our Month of May

Crazy girls. I talked Traci into biking with me. We decided to do a Century ride (107 miles). My sweet husband and girls followed us and were there to support as at all the rest stops. Notice we only have a picture of the beginning of the race. Way to tired at the end to even think of pictures. We had a blast and give us a couple of months and we may just think about another one.

Love those dimples. I may be biased but could she be any cuter.

Sassy pants!!! Natalee had her first dance recital and she loved this costume. She did such a good job.

Our baby turned 5!!! Can't believe it. She is getting so big and we sure do enjoy having her around. As you can tell she thinks she is as big as the girls and so she got to have her first friend party. Strawberry Shortcake and 7 little friends and you couldn't have asked for a better day.

Our birthday boy. So excited to turn 35 can't you tell. The girls had to have a party for him with the "special" chair. Haylee gave him the t-ball trophy on the counter and they were so happy he played along. We love him more than ever.

Ashlee showing off her loot. We are going to have to have a special room for all of her trophy's.

Ashlee competed in the Utah State Tumbling and Trampoline meet and she took First on the double mini. That is the tramp where you run and jump on the tramp and then do flips off. She also took 7th on tramp and 8th on floor. We are so proud of her.

I'm Still Here Really!!!

Ok so it only took me three hours to figure out how to do all of this again but I stuck with it. I am going to update at least the month of May but couldn't figure out how to get all the pictures off my camera. A big update is coming though so don't totally give up on me. We have been so busy but I'm sure that is not a very good excuse. Hopefully I can figure everything out soon and catch everyone up. Thanks for hanging in there it will get better.
