Moms vs Kids

See that, yup that is me on the field. Teegan's team had a moms vs kids game. I was only able to play the first half because Landon had to go to football but I had a great time. I do have to say the kids make it look easier then it is. That or my head and my feet didn't really communicate well.  After years of watching I totally understand the game and how it works I just could not seem to control the ball to do what I wanted to do :). It was fun.

 Earlier this month Mike and the boys went to the father and sons camp out so this weekend was the father and daughter dance. Neither of them were real sure they wanted to go but with a little persuading they went and ended up having a fun time. Mike took her out to dinner before and then ice cream after the dance.


Mike is not good at letting me take his picture and Whitney is following his lead. They decided to dance while I was trying to take the picture.

They finally gave in and I got a cute picture of them

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.
