2011 is over! Now for the whole year since I am a slacker.

 In March Big Bro. got to go to another Jazz event. Ronnie Price was such a nice guy.
 He also got his Wolf Award. Good job. I get to work with the cute little Wolves. They are sure full of energy, but lots of fun!
 Dress up party with some of our very great friends. They came down about 5 times dressed in something different each time.
 Big Bro turned 9! He had a family Bday this year. So he chose Jump on it and sushi.

 Spring Break was once again freezing cold. We did a few fun things. The main attraction was the zoo. Some days I think I live in a zoo. These kids get so silly and crazy.

 Big Sis got to be in 2 Shakespeare plays this year. She was Lady Olivia, the star of the show. She lives to be on stage and perform. She is a great Drama Queen. ( That boy with his arm a round my baby is the boy she likes. He likes her too. They were married in the play. It was so funny. They still like each other in Jr. High. I know his mom and she is great. I just can't believe she is growing up so fast. It makes me want to cry.)






 Little Bro. finally lost a tooth. The dentist had to help.





 These next pictures are from my Grandpas Birthday. We had a huge party with all the family. We lost him 2 weeks later. He is a huge inspiration in my life. He took care of us in so many ways. I am so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents.


 These girls are my best friends. We are the dancing girls. Every year when we were little we would have a Christmas Eve Party. Our Aunts taught us a dance and we would perform for the family. My Grandpa requested a performance for his birthday. We were just as good as we were when we were little.



The girls had their tumbling recital. Little Sis did the gummy bear song. She was so cute. She was most excited about the makeup she got to wear. Big Sis is getting really good. She once again gave a dramatic performance. Like I said, she lives to be on stage.

 Ballet Recital for Big Sis. Cute Ash brought her flowers. She is a natural ballerina but she decided to choose Cheer. It was a hard choice. I guess she will have a hard life since she is so good at everything.
 Little Sis had her first year of preschool graduation.
 The 6th grade dance was a huge thing for Big Sis. The teachers chose the partners. She lucked out and got to dance with the ONE!

 First Grade was so great for Little Bro. He got the teacher we wanted. She is so amazing.
 3rd Grade for Big Bro. He had a great year with some of his best buddies.
 Big Sis was in ALL for 5th and 6th grade. She had the same kids both years. They all became so close. Her teacher is amazing. She is a favorite of all the kids she has. A few of them went ot visit her just the other day. Sis was so lucky.
 So begins Summer and  7th grade cheer. More to come on that later.

 The little kids finally can ride their bikes.  They are a little timid. I made them get out there and do it. It was lots of screaming, I can't do it. As soon as I let go they both took off. It is nice we live where there are empty streets so they can ride all over.

 YYYEEEEE     HHHHAAAAAWWWWW. We love the rodeo!!!!!!
 My baby girl turned 12! This is big time. It makes me feel so old. She got some mascara and ran right up to put it on. This is all she is allowed to wear. She comes down daily with a TON of makeup on. We have some major battles over it. We had a family Bday and headed up to Bear Lake.


 Tubing on Grandpas boat is the kids favorite. This year the water was so high. There was no beach. There was trees in the water. So crazy.
 The boys spent most of every day shooting potguts off the deck. They got about 20 to 30 each day. YUCK. We could even hear them squeaking as they died.
 The white trash water slide. Grandma put dish soap on it to make it really slick. They had fun!
 I got to take the scouts to day camp. It was tons of fun. We had so many boys. Our ward split  a couple months after this.
 Big Sis at girls camp. She had a great time. Daddy got to go help. I signed him up to go without him knowing. But then a week before camp he was called as Second Counselor in the Bishopric so he had to go any way. I was able to go up with the other wives and spend the last day. It was so fun. I have the best memories from Girls Camp. I am excited to go this year again.

 Freezing Cold water. They all took a shower in it. I could barely stand to have my feet in it.
 Daddy on the rope swing. He is so crazy.
The lake was so pretty. There were so many wild flowers.




Back to School. I have a 7th grader, a 4th grader, a 2nd grader, and a 5 year old preschooler. I am so old.
