Happy Father's Day!

What would Father's Day be like without homemade cards and some of dad's favorite treats.
This year the kids picked out some of Brock's favorite snacks. He got BBQ Pringles, Snickers, Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, and Red Vines. He was so happy to have his favorite junk food all to himself. Actually, because he is such a good dad, he shared his chips.
Brock was double lucky to get a DVD he has been wanting for a while. I got him The Police 20 year reunion concert. He went to the concert in Salt Lake City last summer and had the time of his life. Now he has the concert to watch anytime he wants. We love you Brock! You are the best dad!

Jessica is not a nothing

When Jessica looked at my last post she said, "I am a nothing. I don't do anything." I want everyone to know, especially Jessica, that she is not a nothing. She has so many great talents. Recently, Jessica accompanied me when I sang at enrichment night. I was so proud of her. She is getting so good at the piano. She practices all the time and loves it. I think she is going to hate this picture, but it was the only one I could find of her at the piano. I love you Jessica. You are quite something!

Playin' Sports

Three of my kiddos recently enjoyed playing some sports. I just about killed myself trying to get them to all of their practices. Thanks to Jessica, I was able to leave Ben at baseball while I picked up Matthew at lacrosse.
Ben played baseball for the first time. He did really well. He was the only "lefty" on his team. Most of the time he hit from the coaches pitch, other times he used the "T." He's pictured here with his team. Ben is the one with the blue hat in the bottom left corner.We all loved going to his games to cheer him on.



Lauren had a great volleyball team this year. Her skills have really improved. She is a great setter. Once Lauren nails her overhand serve, there will be no stopping her on the court. She also had a great time with her friend, Kylen, who was also on her team.

Here are some pics of Matthew at lacrosse. He was a little grumpy when I took these pictures. It's not cool to be photographed in front of your team.

My trip to Utah!

I had such a great time in Utah back in April. My niece, Brittany got married. I wish I had a decent picture of her. She made such a beautiful bride. I was so glad to be there and see my mom, and my four brothers and four sisters. It's not often that we are all together.

Here is my Mom with baby Allison. She is the sweetest little girl. I held her for about 45 minutes one night and she didn't make a peep. Amy and Chris are so lucky to have such a pleasant baby girl. Thanks for sharing her!

This is me and my "great" niece, Rachel. My sister Tammy, made these cute dresses for all of the little girls in the wedding party.

Here I am with two of my best friends who happen to be my little sister, Diana, and my niece Niki. I love you beautiful girls. It was so great to see you on this trip.
