Happy Birthday Emersyn

On May 30 Emersyn celebrated her 7th birthday while our family was down in Rocky Point Mexico. We had a pinata for all the kids to hit and have fun with.
Emersyn is such a sweet girl. We absolutely LOVE having her in our family. She was our biggest baby born weighing 7lbs. 13oz. We were all shocked at how much she weighed being that all my other kids were in the 6lb range. Funny, that she weighed the most then because to look at her now you would never know it. She is the tiniest little thing. Will there be a day we won't have to adjust the waist in her pants to go smaller? She has a smile that will melt you.
Emersyn, we hope you had a great birthday :)

Annual Father & Son Campout

Every May Marc and Cameron attend our ward's Father & Son Campout. They are seriously gone less than 24 hrs, but always seem to have a good time. This year Marc and Cameron went up with Ryan and his boys'. The camp wasn't too far....up on the Rim by Woods Canyon Lake.
The girls' and I don't mind when they go. This is an opportunity for us to watch "girly" movies without anyone in the house complaining.

Girl's Got Talent

Kaelyn and some of her friends decided to try out for the school talent show. I had to sign a permission slip for her. I kept asking her what they were doing, you see I knew of only 2 practices they had had. One took place at our house and I am not really sure you could call it a practice... they were outside jumping around on the trampoline. The other was at Anna's house, who knows how much they practiced there.
Day of audition comes. Kaelyn is pretty excited. Me, well, I was hoping they would make it.
THEY MADE IT!!!!! Out of 96 acts that tried out they were 1 of 25 for the show!!! GREAT JOB GIRLS!!!!!!
Day of the show comes, I am super nervous for her. I know there is no way I would ever try out for that!!!!! Honestly, I never thought Kaelyn would either. She use to get "stiff" legs when she had to get up and do something in front of people :) Their performance was amazing!!! They did such a good job. It looked like they had practiced a ton. Come to find out....THEY HAD!!!! The girls spent a lot of their recesses practicing :)

Sissone fondue

Kaelyn had a great year in ballet!! We are so proud of her :) Starting in Aug Kaelyn will be going into "point" shoes. I have been hearing about it all year long. I am excited that she is so excited about it. I must admit I never would have thought she would take such a strong liking to ballet. As a little girl she was never really a "girly girl". Kaelyn didn't really play with Barbies or babies, although she has become the best babysitter in the world!!! Stay tuned for the Nutcracker in Dec 2010.

These Are the Days

These are the days I am looking forward to!!! Sleeping in, laying by the pool and enjoying friends.

Ballet Demo

On Sat we had our annual ballet demonstrations. I love to see the progress my girls have made. Emersyn did a great job!! I cannot believe how much stronger she is this year compared to the year before.

Thank you to our dear friend Robbin for being a great ballet teacher :) My girls LOVE going to ballet each week!!

Planet Orange

Marc and Cameron had an opportunity to attend the Suns vs Spurs game 2 of the playoffs. These boys are so spoiled I am telling you. They have been to playoff games for both football and basketball. Not a bad resume for only being 13 yrs old. I am glad Marc knows people that offer these opportunities to our family.
All politics put aside...we are excited the Suns have made it to the Western Conference Finals. Sure would be awesome if the Suns were to go all the way to the NBA Finals....
