Business Expo

On Saturday Addi had a singing performance at the Southern Utah Business Expo - they all did an awesome job! (Of course!) They sang Supercalifragilistic Expealidocious (Sp?) & Hardknock Life. Addi has the part of Molly - and it's actually a super cute role - she has her singing recital tonight so I will get better pictures & video of it! :) They got to get their picture taken with THOR the SUU mascot - they loved it of course - WTG Addi!

Dance Recital

It has definitely been a crazy month - there have been a LOT of recitals, competitions & performances in the last month. I haven't felt like I've had much time to breathe or do anything that hasn't been planned out months in advance! But man has it been a blast watching this little girl do EVERYTHING! This past Thursday she had her dance recital at Canyon View Highschool - she did amazing of course! It is funny to watch the difference between dance & clogging - in clogging her steps are much more advanced that it is hard to watch her do something so simplified. Everything she does is graceful & beautiful don't get me wrong it's just a huge difference. We've decided not to do dance again next year so she might not continue this path until she gets older - it was fun while it lasted though! Next year we're going to do just clogging & gymnastics - 2 things she truly loves :). I didn't catch the video on this (I was in the wrong spot & couldn't film) but I'll add everything later when I get the video & pictures from the studio. I am so grateful for my amazing family that honestly tries so hard to make it to everything that she does - Shari & her kids have been absolute TROOPERS to support me & her in her adventures this year. I am so grateful for my mom - I would not be doing half the things I do if it wasn't for her - thanks mom for everything!!!

America On Stage Nationals!

We went to Nationals in Lagoon this weekend - and the girls did AMAZING! They got Superior Over All for their dance Superstar - and won a huge trophy! :) I haven't gotten the results back yet on the other dance they did - but I know they did well with that one also. They all had a blast dancing & of course riding the rides - Lagoon is such a fun place to hold that competition. I am way excited to see how these girls progress over the years - if they are this good at 4-6 I can only imagine how incredible they are going to be in 5-10 years!

WTG Color Country Stars!

 This is only part of the team - the other girls had already gone before we got the picture!

Addi was able to go up on stage & receive the trophy for their team! :)

Easter #3 (Actually Easter)

After church on Sunday we went to Gramma & Grandpa's house - where the Easter Bunny had come to find eggs & open baskets. Kambri & I came home a little early from church to make sure everything was ready for when Addi came home. Kambri found some of the eggs - proceeded to crack... peel & crumble. :) We had a few casualties before Addi made it back to "hunt" for them! She of course found most of them and the ones Kambri did find she just tried to eat instead of putting them in the basket - she is so funny. After they found eggs they opened their baskets and went through all the loot - I found out you have to keep Starbursts away from Kambri she puts the whole thing in her mouth - wrapper & all and chews it up and I'm sure she would attempt to swallow it but she didn't make it that far! :) They loved all of their stuff until my dad brought his new shiny red toolbox out to show me - after that Kambri wanted NOTHING to do with her Easter stuff she just wanted to play with the toolbox..... I think we have another Poppa's girl on our hands! :) We had a really fun Easter spending time with the kids & all of the family.

Justin's 3rd Birthday Party (And Matt's 72nd)

Last Sunday we had a birthday party for Justin & Matt at Karen & Garret's house - we of course had a blast as we always do! Justin just turned 3 - I can't believe he is that big! It was on Easter Sunday so Karen made all of these super cute Easter egg cookies - I have no idea how she does it but she is so creative & definitely utilizes EVERY day. :) Ok, Ok it wasn't REALLY my brothers' 72nd birthday - that would be a little weird but he's a brat & instead of putting the 27 the RIGHT way on the cake he put 72... and at one point it was even an upside down 72. The kids all had fun running around & playing with all of the other kids - the second we got there Addi went MIA & I didn't see her pretty much until it was time to leave - she absolutely LOVES playing with Ryan & Laura's kids. Justin was really excited to open presents - but I did something bad and after he opened my present I took it out of the box. After he saw that he didn't want to open another present he just wanted to play with what I got him! Sorry again Shari I should've known better! :) I'm just really glad he liked it - he got some really cute toys mostly trucks/trains/cars his absolute favorite things in life!

Karen has a large dog crate at her house that she cleaned out for the kids to play with - and all of the kids LOVE it. They climb inside and shut the door, then get out and shut the door, then get back in hahaha funny how the toys they love aren't ever really "toys". Thanks again Karen for having all of us over - we had so much fun!
