I just installed a button on my toolbar to blog something with just one click. Kinda cool if you ask me. I am just checking to see if it works.

Artwork

I am just the proud Mom who is showing off her kids terrific art ability!!!

I must explain ..... The drawing on the top is Sarah's who drew this picture of Ali and gave it to her.  A little later, Ali came and showed us the next picture.  She was so proud of it and told us it is just like Sarah's except for the person paper clip in her hair.  I LOVED it.  We have gotten some pretty good laughs out of this picture.  Aren't the teeth cute too???

Pure Logic

Here is a snip-it of a conversation we, well, OK, just one person in our family had the other day.

As we were driving down I-15 coming home from a trip to Vegas Ali starts talking:

"Ryan was being rude because he was talking and sometimes talking is spitting.  I could feel his air........ Yeah, I could TOTALLY feel his air."

A breath and then:

"Cool, there's the Dinosaur Temple."  As we were passing Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum.

I am going to miss these completely logical conversations we have with our kids.  We all get a big kick out of Ali right now.  She keeps us laughing.

2 inches of something

Once upon a time, in the Taylorsville 9th Ward, there were some lonely ladies, who, every Thursday night got together, and ..........

KNITTED

and

KNITTED

and

KNITTED SOME MORE!!!!!!

One Thursday night I felt a little lonely so I thought I might give knitting a try.

I found out that they might do a little bit more talking than knitting, but it sure was fun!!!

This is what I have done so far!!!  It's not even 2 inches yet, but, I think I still have just as many stitches as I had when I started.  THAT just might be my greatest success.

Does anyone have a finger (just one) that keeps getting cold and you need to keep it warm?

Ryan's Science Fair Project

Or should I say "PARENT'S Science Fair Project"

First of all, I will start off with his proud moment:

He was chosen as one of 6 kids in his class to be judged for a chance to go to district.  He didn't make district, but we are still very proud of him.  

This is the final completed display board.  He really did do most of the work, even if he was not very happy about it and we had to remind him about 100 times to stay on task and get the @*!!**@! thing finished (of course it was the day before it was due, as well, because that's just the way we roll around our home).  

The school is always very good at getting us the information a good month before we actually have to have it completed and turned in, it is just our problem that we wait until the last possible moment to get our behinds in gear and actually "do" the project.  

Here Ryan and Jeff are on the last possible day to "try" the experiment that was not working like the internet said it would.  We were feeling a little bit worried about the whole project.  Finally we decided to start over from the beginning and WOW it actually worked!!!  

I am very proud of him and the hard work he put into this project, but I must admit, I HATE science fair projects.  They are one of the most loathed projects I can think of as a parent.  I keep thinking at this point: "I still have 3 more kids to go through this every year" and I get a little bit more cranky about the whole thing.  Maybe, just maybe, one of these coming years, I will be more organized and get the ______ thing finished at the beginning of the month and not wait until the deadline comes and is almost gone.  Maybe?????

Logan = Par-tay

So, what do our kids do as soon as we mention "Logan"?  Well, Logan and the Parks just go hand in hand.  The kids LOVE going there because they know what it means.  Party, party, party, and "Grandma Carma" and "Grandpa Scott" are going to SPOIL them!!!  No, they are not of any blood relation, but they sure do love our kids just as much as their grandparents do.  

Keylee is on the Mountain Crest Caprielles dance team.  She is an AWESOME dancer and we really enjoy going to watch her perform.

Sarah and Shay

Ryan and Nathan

This is where the girls were most of the evening, up on the balcony trying really hard to mimic the dancing moves.  Ali was on the ground with her feet waving wildly in the air, Bella and Sarah were just running around doing turns and different variations of the dances which were very interesting to say the least.

We always have a good time when we go visit the Parks.  I love that family and I am soooooo sad they had to move.  They are even taking our kids for this next weekend, as is tradition, so Jeff and I can have some alone time for our Anniversary :)  You want to know what we have planned????  Painting the living room!!!  Are you all jealous?  I guess we will see how far along we get.

Jr. Jazz

Ryan just finished up his 3rd season of Jr. Jazz and we had a lot of fun.  The boys are just now getting it and can really pass the ball and make some plays.  On Saturday, Ryan played the last game of the season.  He made his 1st basket of his basketball career!!!  We were all so excited for him.

Here he is going for the steal.

He was especially happy that his Dad got to be his coach.  I don't know how excited Jeff was though???  They had a fun season.

Good job Son!!!

I sure do love you!!!
