So for future reference. in case you wanted to know: Dropping your cello into its case... 

...is NOT a good thing...

...REALLY NOT!

OUCH!

More Derby? Why Yes Please!

Pop pop took Tuffer to the Regional Pinewood Derby!

The races where close! The cars where fast! The track had a laser finish timer! It was cool.

He won his age division! So then he raced for overall fastest and...

....WON!!!!!!

Fun fun fun!

The School Program That Will Live On...FOREVER

Now we all know when we hear the words "school music program" we all get the same looks on our faces. You know the dazed zoned out look, where your eyes just kind of glaze over...

Well this music program promised to no different.

But then...

...Saved the day!...you might want to watch this on an empty stomach...you have been warned...

 

Yep, that will wake you up! Hard to be bored after that performance!

Easter Fun

What a wonderful Easter we had this year! We started Saturday at Gramie and PopPop's. Of course we hunted Easter eggs...

But we also Hula-hooped...

...Some of us are quite talented...

...Some of us...well...not so much.

But we all tried!

Sunday morning we started at our house were the Easter Bunny left treats for the kids...

...Poor Titan no treats for you.

For breakfast we made some Awesome breakfast pizza.

I made them on half an English muffin spread with Alfredo sauce topped with breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, and cheese. They were a big hit!

After Breakfast we went to church in Mande and Tim's ward. Tim was given the Melchizdek priesthood. We had a really great family meeting that I am sure everyone, including the kids, will remember. It was a wonderful experience.

Don't I Have The Cutest Kids!

 Ever!

Matthew's 9th Birthday

Happy Birthday Bean!

He got to go fishing with Pop Pop and yep they caught fish! All this kid wanted for his birthday was an armadillo. Just in case you are wondering he wanted it for a pet...a REAL...LIVE...ARAMADILLO! Not happening. I did search online and almost got him a taxidermied real armadillo but those are surprisingly prices!  So instead we settled for this...

...He was happily satisfied. Grandma got him some cool spywear so that made it even better.

Love you so much kid!

Shellax

I got to relax and get my nails shellacked. I like it...

Just Like Cafe Rio

Load it all in the crock pot cook on low for 4-6hours

Supper Yummy!

Hiking With Spencer And Sarah

We had a great hike at the monument with Spencer and Sarah even though only some of us went. We had two kids that weren't feeling good when we left so they stayed behind.

Shermie showing off his karate pose.

Matthew hamming it up for the camera. 

Annalyn leading the way for her Dad.

She did really awesome!

She ran around and ran around then finally needed a break.At least we had a use for the backpack since she was never in it. It made a good back rest!

I think though we should have actually left Shermie home too. He was sick when we got there and had a really rough time but he was a trooper!

Matthew was like a little mountain goat. Nothing slowing him down.

Titan did a great job and loved being out with the family.

Thanks Spencer and Sarah for the fun visit!!
