Teegan got his wolf  and advanced to a bear

Landon is playing 7 v 7 touch football at the high school this spring. They are just getting started but he is having a good time.

He made a great long catch and what I thought was a touchdown. They called it that he got touched on the 1 yard line. Maybe I should send them my proof ;) 

 Landon says "all I know is that kid smacked me in the back pretty dang hard"

Math Star

Last Friday at an assembly Teegan got awarded for being a Math Star

 A math star is someone who passes off all of their required math facts for the year. He is just excited he gets to go with 200 other students from school on a extra field trip and party.

Way to go Teegan!

I have to admit there are days that I just need a good dose of NieNie Dialogues. I know she is not talking to me but sometimes she is. She can make me laugh and make me cry but she always reminds me of who we are and what we are capable of doing. She is amazing.
Go here the see her latest appearance on 20/20.  It is a side of the story we don't hear much about. Take a deep breath and a Kleenex. You will need them.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's day to all the mothers in our lives.

My family took good care of me starting with breakfast in bed, roses, and a nice dinner. I am so lucky.

Teegan Soccer

Teegan is having a great time playing soccer this season. He is on a great team with a real good coach.

Pile up!His Team remains the league champs after a hard game this last Saturday. It was a close game but they ended up winning 6 to 5 with a last minute goal

I am excited to finally get some updates on the blog. Our computer is not working right and I am unable to pull my pictures off my camera card. I had Mike bring home his laptop so I could update you with all the fun things we have been doing.

Sunday, April 10th Landon was given the Priesthood and ordained a Deacon. He passed the sacrament for the first time the following Sunday April 17th. We are so proud of him and the decisions he has made.

We had a great Easter Sunday. The kids woke up early to find where the Easter bunny had hid there baskets.

Pinewood Derby

After a lot of work Mike's Teegan's car turned out great. His car won a lot of the races and got the award for the "sportiest" car. It is always a fun time for the boys (and dads)

Whitney's birthday 

 Whitney had a great day and she didn't want it to end. She has some great friends that brought her all kind of fun things.

That night she went to YW. Her friends brought her balloons and her leaders brought cake and ice cream.

After YW and YM we went home and had presents and cookie cake.





 Whitney took cupcakes to her soccer team the next day and of course got into a frosting war. I think she lost.

Happy Birthday

Today is Whitney's big day. She turns 15! 

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter. She is always willing to help out in anyway  and is very dedicated to all that she does. She is sensitive to other peoples feelings and wants to make other happy.  She is a great big sister to her younger brothers. A week ago Teegan and I were playing "would you rather.." while waiting in the car for Landon to come out of school. I asked him "would you rather go on vacation with just Whitney or Landon?" He quickly answered "Whitney! because I know she would take care of me". 

She is a very dedicated soccer player and would never dream of missing a practice or a game for anything. But the best thing is she loves every minute of it. With 3 or 4 practices a week, mia maid president, early morning seminary, Facebook :), and keeping up with her school work she has very little downtime. She somehow manages to get it all done and still have a great attitude about it. 

Happy Birthday Whitney!

We love you!

The cutest cheerleader ever!
