Cross Country 2011

Dalley is amazing. She continues to run despite the shin splints, knee pain, fatigue, and disappointment. She never gives up and improves with each meet. She won her first medal, she was so excited and we couldn't be more proud. It’s a lot of hard work and she never waivers in her dedication. What a great life lesson she has learned and is an example to her whole family.

Brenens Baseball

Brenen loves baseball and continues to play. He is quite the all star. His coach said that the kids should not forget Brenens name because they will see big things from him.

Chucky Cheese - Where a kid can be a kid

We went to Chucky Cheese for Labor day fun. The boys played video games. I only gave them 20 coins each, but they kept finding coins and ended up playing for hours. Superman decided he did not like the car he rode on when he got off. It was the only thing he would try. He preferred watching the Chucky Cheese performance. Kaison lost sight of what you were supposed to do with the coins. He would put it in the machine and walk away. He did not know he needed to stay and play the game. Maybe he thought the coin was a vote for his favorite machine. When we explained that he could play the game it became a whole new experience for him. Now he would like to go back.

Simply Superman!

Superman got splinters in his foot. Luckily Brenen was there to save the day.

One afternoon we could not find Superman . After an exhaustive search he was discovered in Moms closet covered in bubbles, no underwear, asleep, and with the empty bubble container laying next to him. Why asleep in the closet? Why no underwear? How did he cover himself with bubbles without getting any into his eyes? All questions we may never know the answers to.

I think he ate a poison apple.

He loves to spend time with his cars.

Superman wanted to help Mom pull weeds. When we looked into his bag we found a few weeds along with several rocks, otter pop wrapper, bark dust, stick and a leaf.

They dont stay little long enough.

First day of school

Kaison said he was only going to get one green card from his teacher all year. He said "I am going to get mostly yellow". (A green card is givenfor good behavior, Yellow for those who are not doing as well as they should, Red means you need to improve) Chandler, Brenen, and Trey were not as excited for school this year until this morning. Now they are ready to go and cant wait to see who is in their class. Superman will be at home with Mom this year.

Haleighs Dance Teams

Haleigh is a co-captian of one dance team and an instructor of another.

Haleighs Birthday

Superman doing his hair

Superman wanted his hair done. I guess Mom was not fast enough. Its a good this he is self motivated and got the job done himself.

Chandler loves sharks. Look at the smile on his face.

Treys Birthday

Boys will be boys

Temple in July

We had a family home evening at the temple. It was fun to watch the kids.

Trey looks so cute. I wonder what he is thinking?

After spending a few months with cousins in Arizona, Haleighs home. We really missed her while she was gone. She is ready for her Senior year of high school and dance team. She is one of the Captains.

SUPERMANS ABC's

Braces

Both Haleigh and Dalley have their braces off. See how happy they are.

End of the School Year 2011

Chandler received the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence and Quality Counts award. Brenen received a PE award along with some other awards that got lost. Trey received an award for Academic Excellence, Paws of Pride for trying to raise money for the school during these tough economic times. Mrs. Douglass (the principal) gave him the award and a teddy bear (Trey named Steve) as a thank you for being so caring and thoughtful. I am so proud of my boys this year.

Field Day

Field day is a lot of fun. Brenen just loves to eat and compete.

For Trey field day is a time to play and be with his friends.

Kaison and Superman see field day as a time to get some ice cream and play on the play ground.

And for Chandler its an opportunity to skip school.
