Cloe's 4th birthday!

Wow! Cloe turned 4 today...I can't believe my baby is 4! We had a birthday party at aunt Michelle's house a few days before her birthday because Cloe shares her birthday with Grandma Karen, what a lucky girl.


Cloe with all her cousins opening her presents...the kids favorite part of any birthday party.

After dad died I realized how important it is to take as many pictures with family as possible. A few days earlier I realized we didn't have very many pictures of our kids with their grandparents so we decided to take a few.


Cloe on her real birthday. All she wanted for her birthday was a new swimsuit and a kitty webkinz. She got those and a few other things...I love it when they are so easy to satisfy. Happy birthday to my baby!

Family trip to Island Park

Day 1
In June we took a family trip to Island Park. Uncle Dick and Aunt Vonnie Lue Broulim were nice enough to let us use their beautiful cabin there so we could enjoy some family fun.

Isn't it gorgeous?

PLAYING IN THE WATER!

The kids had so much fun boating, canoeing, riding the wave runners and just playing in the water.

Evening fun!

What is roasting marshmallows, Matt taking Alex on his first boat fishing trip and he actually caught a fish, sitting on the dock fishing, riding the 4 wheelers and the super fun go cart?...FAMILY FUN!

Day 2
Water fun again!

A BIG thanks to Uncle Dick and Aunt Vonnie Lue for letting us stay at their cabin. We love and appreciate your kindness. Also a BIG thanks to Papa and Mema for including us all in this fun family trip. We had so much fun and can't wait to do it again. We love you!

Soccer Camp!

Taysa and Brooklyn did a soccer camp this summer at Bonneville High school. This was Taysa's first time playing soccer and she loooooved it and was really good. Brooklyn just loves soccer period...she had lots of fun and is getting to be a better player.

Cloe seemed to attract three new boyfriends. It was so funny...she was standing out there watching all by herself, slowly the first boy came over, then slowly came the second boy, and before I knew it there were three. She did play hard to get. She wouldn't talk to them or even look at them in the beginning, but they worked their magic and got her to pay attention to them. They even got her to smile and giggle.


Brooklyn...she did a lot of this, standing and giggling.



Taysa running and playing hard, here she is about to get the ball.


Brooklyn and her soccer camp friend, sorry we can't remember her name now.

5th Grade Music Program

April 8, 2010
The kids music programs are always a fun thing :} to go to and my girls get really excited about them. This year the 5th grade added a new twist to their singing program, they actually danced. It was really cute and the kids had a lot of fun doing it. At the end of the show they sang Thriller and at the end they came out and danced. Very cute idea!

Memorial Day 2010

For Memorial Day this year we headed to Star Valley the Sunday before Memorial Day and met Cristi and her family there. We always have a great time visiting with Aunt Annette and Karen and who ever else happens to be there. Annette takes such great care of us...making sure we have lots of good food and GREAT company! We love you Aunt Annette and thanks so much for putting up with us every year.

There always seems to be an abundance of flowers and items placed on dad's grave...for that we are grateful!


Star Valley is a beautiful place. Just look at the views on our amazing drive!


On Memorial Day we had a BBQ at grandma and grandpa's house. We always have a good time with all the cousins, aunts and uncles. Lot's of fun, good food and great company. My kids are so lucky to live so close to their cousins and even better they LOVE to play together.
