Emily Gymnastics

Emily has just finished her third year taking gymnastics classes. They have been working really hard on back walkovers. She has been practicing a ton and was so excited when she could finally do it! She has had a really fun time this year and loves learning new things.

Emily Dance Recital

Emily had her dance recital over the weekend. Alisha was nice enough to drive all the way down to do her makeup. She looked so beautiful. The high school gymnasium was packed so she always gets really nervous before she performs, but she did an amazing job! We had so much fun watching her!





For some reason Blogspot cut off the right side of the video so if you want to watch Emily you will have to click on it and watch it on YouTubes website. Emily is in red, in the front, and on your far right side.

Photo Shoot

I recently took the girls to get their pictures taken by Micha Wixom, a local photographer. It has been a couple of years so we were due for some updating. Wendy had just as much fun playing in the dirt and kicking rocks as she did posing for pictures. It was all I could do just to keep her clean! They both had a great time though and I just love how the pictures turned out. Micha even decided to use one of the pictures of Emily on her new business cards.

Your Majesty

I woke up to plenty of enthusiasm this morning. My wonderful family, who insisted on calling me "Your Majesty" all day, fixed me breakfast and presented me with plenty of presents to open for Mother's Day. Emily made me a beautiful sign, a card, and a list of all the things she loves about me. She also helped Wendy draw me a picture. It was beautiful.

I was so surprised when I opened my present from LeeRoy. He got me just what I had secretly been wishing for and when I asked him how he knew just what I wanted he told me an amazing story. He said he was wondering what to get me when he found this magical note from his Fairy Godfather. I couldn't believe it.......I guess you are never too old for fairy tales!


After lunch, and a wonderful piece of my favorite cake my family had made for me, we headed over to my mom's house. We had fun visiting and spending time together but the best part was when LeeRoy cooked us all steak for dinner. It was such a wonderful, relaxing day. I could really feel how much my family loves and appreciates me!

New Video Game

My husband works very hard and any time he has time off he deserves it! I just thought it would be fun to document what happens when a new video game comes out. I can't laugh too much though....it is pretty much the same for me when I start a really good book.

Twins Baby Blessing

My sister Amy just had twins. She named them Estrella and Jose Jr. Their baby blessing was on Sunday and we were so happy to be able to attend. Their ward is a Spanish speaking ward so I wasn't sure how that would work but they passed out headphones with a transmitter attached and had someone translate for us so we could understand what was being said. It was a beautiful day and we loved visiting with all the family that came.

Here is a picture of my mom and her twin brother Jerry holding the babies. Twins holding twins! I love it!
